It appears that Princess Anne has finally reached her breaking point with Meghan Markle's reportedly disrespectful behavior, and she's made her stance clear. Many of our viewers have anticipated this moment for some time, given Meghan's history of ruffling feathers within the royal family with her brash attitude and apparent disregard for protocol. Princess Anne, known for her composure and reluctance to engage in public spats, seems to have finally had enough of Meghan's apparent mockery of the British monarchy.
According to insiders, the situation came to a head during Prince Philip’s funeral last month. As you might recall, this somber occasion gathered the entire family under one roof for the first time since "Megxit." With tensions already high from Harry and Meghan’s departure from their royal roles, it didn't take much to spark a confrontation.
Sources claim that, shortly before the service began, Meghan was engaging with other royals but allegedly made flippant remarks about royal traditions on such a solemn day. Specifically, she is said to have mocked the funeral's strict dress code and the tradition of women wearing fitted black dresses and veils or hats, comparing them to costumes for a play. Her comments reportedly included rolling her eyes and making jokes about how outdated and oppressive these traditions seemed.
Meghan’s apparent lack of respect for these cherished customs did not go unnoticed, and it wasn't long before Princess Anne intervened. Calmly but firmly, Anne addressed Meghan, telling her that such disrespect was unacceptable. When Meghan tried to dismiss the comments as mere jokes, Anne made it clear that this was neither the time nor the place for such disdain.
Princess Anne then delivered a stern rebuke, chastising Meghan for continually mocking the family she married into. She emphasized the importance of showing respect for the Queen, the monarchy, and the United Kingdom. Anne pointedly told Meghan that her American entitlement needed to be left behind because protocols and traditions were there for significant reasons beyond Meghan’s understanding.
Onlookers reportedly felt the tension in the air, as other royals watched uncomfortably. Anne continued by saying that Meghan’s brand of “woke” activism was unwelcome within the royal family. She suggested that if Meghan was so dissatisfied with their ways, she was free to return to America, but while in the UK, she needed to conduct herself with the appropriate decorum.
It’s said that Meghan, though visibly seething, chose to hold her tongue rather than escalate the situation further. She retreated to a corner, leaving Anne standing resolutely and having expressed what many had been thinking since Meghan and Harry’s relationship began.
Kudos to Princess Anne for having the fortitude to address Meghan’s behavior directly. Known for typically staying out of family disputes, Anne demonstrated she’s not afraid to uphold the monarchy's standards when necessary. It seems high time someone reminded Meghan of the need to respect the institution rather than undermine it for personal gain.
In the wake of Philip’s funeral, sources indicate there’s been a noticeable chill between Anne and Meghan. The other royals are also reportedly distancing themselves from the Sussexes to avoid being entangled in their media antics. It will be intriguing to see whether Harry dares to bring Meghan back to the UK after this very public confrontation with his aunt.
