Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle are often pitted against each other. There are even rumors that there's a rift between the two. As there are claims that the monarchy treats them differently, the Duchess of Sussex, allegedly, said that if it was Prince William's wife who was always criticized, the royal family might have stepped in, changed its media policies, and slammed the tabloids.
Meghan Markle's alleged friend told Daily Mail that no one would tolerate the press' attitude if it was Kate Middleton who was often criticized. The royal family might even revise its "broken and outdated system" for the Duchess of Cambridge, while the outlets would have been shut out due to their vicious attacks.
Prince Harry's wife, allegedly, believed that if the tables were turned, and her sister-in-law suffered the same treatment she had experienced, "changes would have been made." After the Sussexes announced they would stop working with four British publications, the former actress, reportedly, said that no one in the royal family should be surprised about it.
Everyone knew Prince Harry hated adverse reporting about them and wanted to change the way the tabloid talked about them. But if it were Kate Middleton who was being criticized, "no one would put up with it." By the looks of it, Meghan Markle felt like the palace favored the future queen consort more than her.
Sadly, she noticed that it was only the Duke of Sussex who stood for her and their son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. It was even said that Prince Harry met his father, Prince Charles, and grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, to discuss the bullying his wife has been continually experiencing.
Unfortunately, they, reportedly, wouldn't do a thing about it. They even had no plans to change the royal protocol even though they saw it was tearing him apart.
But, despite the claim, Meghan Markle is said to be "very conscious" of being pitted against Kate Middleton. A royal source revealed that the former Suits star found this situation with the mother-of-three "challenging."
An insider told People that the two duchesses were on "different paths." Meghan Markle was aware that Kate Middleton would be a queen someday, and the roles they had to play were different.
The tipster admitted that Meghan Markle didn't fit the mold, while Kate Middleton was groomed for her future. However, instead of being competitive against each other, the source revealed that they just chose to focus on their own families.
