Kate Middleton attacked by Meghan Markle: Prince William pulls out his claws
The tension is increasingly palpable within the British monarchy. Nothing goes between Prince William and Meghan Markle. The Duke of Cambridge no longer accepts the way his sister-in-law "treats" Kate Middleton.
On March 7, Meghan Markle and Harry decided to speak out about their relationship with the British monarchy against Oprah Winfrey. The Duchess of Sussex explained, among other things, her complicated agreement with Kate Middleton. The latter would have made her cry on her wedding day. Tensions which seem to annoy Prince William, who for his part "absolutely does not approve of the way Meghan has treated his wife", explains royal expert Dan Wooton, royal expert, in the columns of the Daily Mail.
The recent explosive interview with the Sussexes only rekindled already existing tensions. Indeed, Prince William's behavior towards Meghan Markle would have changed shortly after the Megxit. "He can no longer hide his true feelings because he felt that she had publicly disrespected his family and the queen," said the journalist. Dan Wooton explains, however, that "Kate tried to help Meghan understand the responsibilities of royal life, but her efforts were constantly misinterpreted." So, "William finds the way Kate was treated unfair.
According to him, Kate tried to make things right, but it was never enough." William would therefore have recommended that Queen Elizabeth II "forbid Meghan to borrow items from the royal collection, including tiaras and jewelry once worn by Princess Diana". Indeed, if for several years, Kate Middleton and Prince William tried to forge links with Meghan Markle, the Duke of Cambridge has always had trouble with his sister-in-law.
Prince William's questions
When Harry first introduced Meghan Markle to his brother, William's reception would have been freezing. The eldest son of Prince Charles would then have suggested to Archie's father to "take his time". But it was when Meghan Markle officially entered the British royal family that William "began to question his motivations within the monarchy," said a source, also with the Daily Mail, before continuing: "He feared that she was more concerned with her personal development than with her functions and goals within the royal family.
