Real reason Meghan Markle doesn’t like Kate Middleton revealed
The animosity between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton was there for all to see whilst the pair were both living in London and moving in the same British Royal Family circles, but now there is a considerable distance between them.
Markle and Prince Harry live in the United States of America, whilst Middleton remains in the United Kingdom and features as a much more prominent member of the family
The Netflix series made by Harry and Meghan featured details from Markle about how she got a very cold reception from Kate once she was in the fold.
She described her first meeting with Kate Middleton in her Frogmore Cottage kitchen as less than enjoyable, revealing that the future Queen refused to hug her.
In his book, royal journalist Tom Bower explained that the former American actress instantly disliked Princess Kate because she understood she would be submissive.
Bower revealed in House of Beckham that “Meghan Markle saw herself as the Royal Family’s “new Princess Diana” when she first joined the Firm.”
He alleges: “After Harry and Meghan’s first royal tour in Australia, which was deemed successful, the former Suits actress saw herself as the successor to Harry’s late mother but was ultimately unhappy with her position in the royal hierarchy. She was discontent because, in the royal hierarchy, she was subservient to Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and the future Queen.
“In Meghan’s celebrity world, ranking depended on wealth and fame. As a seasoned operator, Meghan deluded herself into thinking that her status in the Royal Family placed her above Victoria in the social pecking order
