The British Royal Family in the spotlight
The British Royal Family is the focus of a lot of media attention at the moment. Following King Charles III’s return to royal duties following his cancer diagnosis, criticism from public opinion has not abated. Also, Kate Middleton’s health remains a subject of constant speculation. All of this has resulted in an old controversy that has resurfaced, further increasing tensions within the royal family.
The controversy between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle
The controversy between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle began in May 2018, during preparations for Harry and Meghan’s wedding. According to reports, there was tension between the two couples. But the turning point was an offensive comment by Meghan Markle about Kate Middleton. This comment humiliated Kate and broke any cordial relationship that might have existed between them.
The offensive comment
During wedding rehearsals, Meghan Markle made a disparaging comment about Kate Middleton’s brain, implying that her recent motherhood made her less capable. This comment deeply offended Kate and led to a direct confrontation between the two.
Disputes over Princess Charlotte’s dress
Another source of tension between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle was Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress. During the preparations, there was a heated argument about the dress which left Meghan in tears. This incident contributed to the escalation of tensions within the royal family.
Harry and Meghan’s strategy
The British press is speculating about an alleged strategy by Harry and Meghan to gain prominence at the expense of the royal family. Taking advantage of the monarchy’s weakness, the Dukes of Sussex would be using this moment to outshine the rest of the family.
The lack of reconciliation between the brothers
Despite Kate’s serious illness, Prince Harry has not been reunited with any members of his immediate family. This lack of reconciliation between the brothers has contributed to the escalation of tensions within the royal family.
