Kate Middleton is now in a middle of a huge controversy after Tatler exposed the alleged real reason behind her feud with Meghan Markle and complaints about her workload. Kensington Palace already denied the accusations, and the Cambridges took legal action against it. Now, there are rumors that the article's writer, Anna Pasternak, has a link to Prince Harry's wife.
Anna Pasternak is said to be friends with the former Tatler journalist Vanessa Mulroney, the sister-in-law of Meghan Markle's best friend, Jessica Mulroney. With the author's revelations and connection to the Duchess of Sussex, the real reason behind her allegations against the Duchess of Cambridge is now questioned.
The author claimed that Prince William's wife felt exhausted and trapped as her workload has, reportedly, increased after the Sussexes left the monarchy. She also asserted that the two duchesses fought over the use of tights at the former actress' wedding in 2018.
Kensington Palace contradicted the claims and released a statement about the issue. The Cambridges even reacted on it and took legal action against the magazine, demanding it to remove the cover story, titled Catherine the Great, online.
According to Daily Mail, Anna Pasternak's claims pained Kate Middleton and her assertions that she felt trapped and unhappy with the royal family were not true at all. However, the writer stood by her story and even stressed that she had good sources.
She is very well connected in the United States and even friends with Vanessa Mulroney, who now lives in Canada. Mulroney is the sister-in-law of Meghan Markle's best friend that made the article more intriguing.
Anna Pasternak studied at Oxford and now lives in Oxfordshire with her own family. She is an experienced journalist who has written for every national paper in the United Kingdom. She also has a book about American Duchess and Princess Diana.
However, there are no assertions that Meghan Markle briefed Anna Pasternak to write a story about Kate Middleton. But, The Sun added that the former actress' alleged "inner circle" directed People Magazine to defend her over her wedding to Prince Harry and relationship with estranged father, Thomas Markle.
Jessica Mulroney is said to be one of Meghan Markle's so-called inner circle, although it has never been proven. The former Suits star even denied the claim herself.
There are also hearsays that Meghan Markle enlisted her best friend to pressure a former business advisor to make sure that a "more favorable article" about her will come out. Now, it remains to be seen where this side of the story will take Kate Middleton and her legal battle against Tatler.
