Princess Anne recounts the encounter, explaining that Meghan hardly made eye contact or engaged in a friendly conversation. Her demeanor seemed to suggest that she considered herself above needing Kate's advice or support. In contrast, Kate remained polite and friendly throughout the encounter, despite her feelings of hurt and confusion caused by Meghan's behavior.
Furthermore, Princess Anne's decision to cancel an engagement, as per the King's orders, has left Meghan visibly furious. The reasons behind the King's decision remain shrouded in mystery, fueling speculation and intensifying public curiosity. Some believe that the King's move is driven by a desire to protect Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, although the specific nature of this potential threat has not been disclosed.
Princess Anne's statement comes following the release of Prince Harry's memoir, where it was reported that Kate chose to spend time in the garden at Kensington Palace with her children rather than meeting Meghan on the first day of her introduction to Prince William. However, a translation issue arose when the memoir was accidentally released in Spain ahead of its official publication date in January 2023. The translated version led to misconceptions about Kate's whereabouts. According to Prince Harry's original English-language version, he simply inquired about Kate's location, and William replied that she was with the children.
Princess Anne underscores that Meghan and Harry were generously provided with everything they desired, including a lavish wedding, a beautiful home, a generous allowance, and the freedom to pursue their interests and causes. They were treated with respect and affection by the entire family, leaving them with no grounds for complaint or unhappiness, according to Princess Anne.
Additionally, this controversy follows another translation issue involving Omid Scobie's book, "Endgame," where the Dutch version implicated two alleged royal racists. The translators claimed that Kate and King Charles were named in their version, a claim that Omid Scobie denies. Buckingham Palace is reportedly considering legal action in response.
Princess Anne concludes by emphasizing that despite the challenges faced by the royal family, they remain unbroken. They take pride in their rich history and heritage and look forward to a bright future and a destiny they can embrace with loyalty to their king and queen, a strong spirit, and a unique character that defines them. The royal family and the British people are united, strong, and ready to face whatever lies ahead with resilience and determination.
