A new chapter in the history of British royalty
The family dynamic of the British Royal Family is experiencing another tumultuous episode. In the midst of a personal and emotional battle, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle remain immersed in an escalating feud, even as the Princess of Wales faces a tough battle with cancer and undergoes chemotherapy treatment.
Echoes of the past: the relationship between Diana and Fergie
The current rivalry evokes the well-known tension between Lady Di and Sarah Ferguson, a chapter that marked the history of the British monarchy. Diana and Sarah shared a friendship that went back long before their respective entrances to royalty, both linked by noble bloodlines and a shared destiny.
The birth of a friendship
In 1980, their relationship was cemented when Ferguson was present at Diana’s wedding to Prince Charles, despite not being invited to the subsequent celebration. This moment was a turning point, giving way to a bond that, over time, was marred by rivalry.
Disenchantment and distancing
Despite their frequent meetings, rivalry began to emerge, with Diana feeling that Sarah captured the royal family’s attention. Comparisons between them, including those of Prince Charles, contributed to an atmosphere of competition that intensified over the years.
Parallels between two generations
Over time, the relationship between Kate and Meghan has revealed a similar dynamic. Initially, the two seemed to be in tune, but it soon became clear that their connection was superficial. The decision of the Dukes of Sussex to distance themselves from their royal responsibilities in 2020 marked a before and after in this relationship.
Criticisms and tensions
Since their split, Meghan and Harry have been outspoken in their criticism of the Royal Family, a move that has added fuel to the already strained relationship with Kate. Meghan’s public statements resonate with a similar discontent to that experienced by Diana, while Kate has opted for a more reserved approach.
A critical moment for Kate
The rivalry between Kate and Meghan has taken on a new dimension in these moments of vulnerability for Kate. Faced with a cancer diagnosis, the criticism she receives, including from Meghan, has added considerable emotional weight to her situation. The possibility of a reconciliation between the two women seems more and more unattainable.
Reflections on the future of the monarchy
The confrontation between Kate and Meghan could have significant consequences for the British Royal Family. History has shown that family rivalries not only affect personal relationships, but can also influence public perception of the monarchy and its future.
