The Shady Side Of Meghan Markle

Posted by Almeda Bohannan on Saturday, May 4, 2024

Now that Meghan Markle is stateside and out of The Firm's reach, she's apparently been dishing about Prince Harry's side of the family. What was life really like inside the palace? A little frosty, according to the American. In March 2020, a source cited by the Daily Mail claimed that Markle bemoaned the lack of "warmth" at royal family gatherings and finds all the standoffish behavior very odd. Her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, is reportedly the biggest culprit.

"It's still weird to her that no one hugs and that everyone is so uptight, especially Kate," the insider, said to be a close friend of Markle, told the tabloid. "She said it's obvious that Kate and William do not approve of their choices and that you could cut the tension with a knife." The source went on to say that Middleton and Markle barely interacted during the latter's final trip as a senior royal, and reportedly even avoided making eye contact. 

Rumors of a rift between the two duchesses have been dogging the royal family for some time now. However, this damaging narrative really started to take root in 2019, when Markle guest-edited the September issue of British Vogue. She neglected to put Middleton on the female "forces for change" list featured in her issue. She also said that it would have been arrogant to appear on the cover herself — Middleton appeared on the cover of the mag in 2016. Awkward.
