It seems Meghan Markle must be fuming in her Montecito mansion as Princess Beatrice and her glamorous friends from Spencer's elite circle steal the spotlight at a lavish London event. Did Meghan somehow miss the memo about royal hierarchy and social gatherings, or is she simply practicing her best gracious face for the cameras?
Princess Beatrice turned heads at not one, but two high-society gatherings in London. The princess is certainly not one to shy away from the limelight, especially now that she’s expecting her second child. Dressed in a stunning black gown featuring an eye-catching trio of bows running from the neckline to the waist, Beatrice was the epitome of elegance as she mingled with fashion royalty like Nicky Hilton and Australian designer Rebecca Vallance at Mayfair hotspot G.
After the launch party, Beatrice traded her glitzy surroundings for an even more exclusive dinner hosted by Estée Lauder and Howard, where she rubbed elbows with none other than Princess Diana’s nieces, Lady Kitty Spencer and the twin beauties, Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza. Looking equally chic in her little black dress, Lady Kitty wowed with a bold neckline and a diamond necklace that could make anyone envious. Meanwhile, her sisters flaunted their own fashion prowess, with Lady Eliza dazzling in a shimmering red gown and Lady Amelia opting for a playful polka dot dress.
Meanwhile, Meghan sits in the shadows, probably clenching her pearls in jealousy. You can just imagine Meghan scrolling through social media, watching Beatrice and her stylish friends bask in the spotlight. It’s like the royal family’s very own version of The Hunger Games, and Meghan is feeling particularly peckish for attention right now. She’s known to go to great lengths to reclaim her narrative, especially when it comes to title envy. Who can forget the whispers of her asking why she couldn’t be a princess instead of just a duchess during a train ride with the late Queen? It was as if she were plotting her royal comeback while staring out the window.
It’s clear that Meghan is obsessed with titles, so much so that she seems to believe she should have a princess title. After all, it’s not just about being the Duchess of Sussex; it’s about being the center of the universe. With Beatrice's pregnancy announcement making waves in royal circles, one can only imagine Meghan rifling through a collection of baby bump photos, attempting to reclaim the limelight that rightfully belongs to Beatrice.
Meanwhile, it seems Harry has been doing some heavy lifting in the title department. How delightful is it to have HRH Princess Anne, HRH the Princess of Wales, and let’s not forget HRH Princess Charlotte and Princess Beatrice all gracing us with their presence? And then there’s Meghan, just the Duchess of Sussex—her HRH status sacrificed on the altar of “Megxit.” She could always try to style herself as Princess Henry, but that’s not going to happen.
While her kids bask in their royal titles, Meghan is left grappling with the reality that she’s just a duchess, forever othered from the true royal clan. Perhaps she thought that once Prince Edward was made Duke of Edinburgh and titles were handed out like candy, she’d somehow get a promotion, too. But here she is, seething as Beatrice captures headlines for her pregnancy.
So, while Beatrice celebrates her growing family and glitzy outings, Meghan is left to wallow in her jealousy.
