Meghan Markle-Kate Middleton rift cemented with ‘cruel’ words about Princess Charlotte: Report
One can’t help but wonder how the ever-deepening rift between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton came to be. It’s no news that the estranged sisters-in-law have struggled to build a friendship. Despite the two women joining the Firm as non-aristocratic outsiders, they never found themselves on the same page of the conversation.
Akin to Markle becoming the target of the British press’ dart game, Kate was also referred to as a “commoner” marrying into royalty. Even with shared grounds for their unity, there’s seemingly no love lost between them.
Making matters worse, Markle’s May 2018 wedding with Prince Harry reportedly became the ground for her ultimate bitter fallout with the Princess of Wales.
Emerging reports incriminated Meghan Markle’s “cruel” words about Middleton’s daughter, Princess Charlotte, “reduced Princess Kate to tears,” thereby, cementing the distance between them.
What happened between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton?
At the heels of Meghan and Harry’s wedding, the year’s reports excessively painted the Duchess of Sussex as the one who lit the fuse, leaving Middleton in tears over an issue with bridesmaid’s dresses.
Contradicting these initial claims, it was later clarified that it was, in fact, Meghan who was reduced to tears. Prince Harry consequently confirmed that the Princess eventually sent flowers to express her apology.
Royal author Tom Bower fanned the fire by turning the picture upside down in his book, “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War between the Windsors.” Therein, he quoted unnamed sources, claiming Markle “compared Princess Charlotte unfavourably to her best friend Jessica Mulroney’s daughter” (Ivy).
DailyMailOnline also reported that Bower’s book illustrated a sympathetic outlook towards Middleton, who had been “tired” after her third child’s (Prince Louis) birth.
As the Princess’ youngest child arrived in April, weeks ahead of the 2018 wedding, she was reportedly “too fatigued” to raise arms against Meghan, debating whether bridesmaids should wear tights. Royal protocol highlighted they should.
