The past couple of years have put the British Royal family through a lot, but the main issue that kept making headlines and still hasn’t faded is the supposed feud between the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, and the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton.
Ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decided to step back from their Royal duties, speculation about the relationship between the two sisters-in-law has been rife. Despite attempts to move on, whispers from Royal insiders suggest that tensions remain high. According to one particularly well-informed Royal expert, the situation between the two is still as bitter as ever.
Meghan Markle Allegedly Still Holds Resentment Towards Kate Middleton
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shocked the world with bombshell revelations about the Royal family, leading them to step aside from their Royal duties and move out of the household. Throughout this tumultuous time, Meghan Markle, who once shared a close friendship with her sister-in-law Kate Middleton, had expected her support during particularly challenging moments in her life.
However, that support didn’t materialize, leaving Markle feeling disappointed and bitter. According to the details revealed by a Royal expert, Tom Quinn, to The Mirror, Markle’s feelings of resentment persist. He said,
“Megan doesn’t feel guilty about Kate, because she feels that Kate should’ve been the one person in the Royal family to back her against every difficulty. Apart from anything else, Meghan knew Kate was an outsider, so she just couldn’t understand why Kate always towed the Royal line rather than supporting her, Meghan, the other outsider.”
According to the expert, given that they both were outsiders in some ways within the British royal family, Markle believed the two would stick together. Quinn also stated that Prince Harry is torn in this particular situation. He said,
“He really misses that warm, uncomplicated relationship, and he is torn between loyalty to his wife and regret about the loss of the woman he was so close to. Losing Kate was Harry’s second great loss after losing his mother.”
Although that might be a bold claim, it’s indeed difficult for Royal family admirers to witness their Fab Four split up like this.
Meghan Markle’s Response to Kate Middleton’s Cancer Announcement
The past few months saw the internet abuzz and searching for Kate Middleton, especially following her noticeable absence. Attempts by the Royal family to subdue the noise by posting poorly photoshopped pictures of the Princess of Wales only fueled further curiosity (via The Guardian).
However, in a surprising video announcement on Instagram, Middleton revealed that she has been diagnosed with cancer and has been undergoing surgery, hence her prolonged absence from the public eye. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle said in a statement expressing their support to Vanity Fair, stating,
“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.”
However, the Royal expert Tom Quinn has another piece of news for the masses. According to him,
“Kate’s cancer diagnosis has been a real shock for Meghan, but she can see no way to patch up the relationship simply because it has become so poisonous. She also doesn’t want people saying that she is trying to make things up with Kate just because Kate is ill. Meghan still feels Kate was in the wrong and should apologise before they try to build bridges.”
Turns out, despite the news of her cancer diagnosis being particularly distressing for both the former Suits actor as well as the Spare writer, Markle is still expecting an apology from Middleton.
