It has been long rumored that Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle don’t get along. While there are not enough proofs to confirm these claims, many are convinced that the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex are at war. In fact, Prince William and Prince Harry are also speculated to be less close than they were before because of their wives.
Now, an unearthed report claimed that Kate Middleton’s sister Pippa was reluctant to invite Meghan Markle at her 2017 wedding to James Matthews. Rumor has it that Prince Harry and Kate’s once-close relationship was affected after the alleged rift between the couples, and this may have led Pippa to second guess inviting the former actress to her big day.
“Meghan faced some opposition from the Middleton family, who didn’t want to invite her to Pippa’s wedding last May,” The Sun’s royal correspondent said in 2018. “They feared Meghan’s first public appearance with Prince Harry would overshadow the bride’s big day.”
PR expert Anthony Burr previously said that social media played a “significant role” in the alleged feud of the Duchesses. “Undoubtedly, social media has played a significant role in pitting Meghan against Kate in a social media war,” he shared. “We were seeing a ‘team Meghan vs team Kate’ on social media channels and also on media websites.”
Now, things have gotten out of hand as fans of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle took the feud further and are fighting themselves. “These remarks from the ‘haters’ were not just about Meghan and Kate – but these ‘haters’ then started having online and open vitriolic dialogue to each other, simply because one supported Kate whilst the other supported Meghan,” Burr said.
Liking someone more than the other person is a normal feeling. However, what made these royal fans unreasonable is the fact that they are creating a nonexistent feud. They believe in these speculations so much that they became very aggressive about it to protect Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle.
Unfortunately, we may not see the end of Kate Middleton vs. Meghan Markle as people enjoy talking about rivalries. Since juicy and controversial content would always get more attention than some happy news, media will never get tired of pitting the royals against each other.
Meanwhile, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle were both commoners before tying the knot with Prince William and Prince Harry. The Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex are well-known in their own rights, but their marriage to the Princes certainly took their popularity to a whole new level. Now, it seems that Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle are now overshadowing their royal husbands.
