Sources cited by Closer suggest that the Duchess of Sussex believes Kate’s public visit was a “calculated move,” coming shortly after Meghan and Prince Harry’s well-received overseas trip to Australia. From this perspective, the timing of Kate’s return to high-profile royal engagements is seen as strategically aligned with the couple’s recent surge in positive attention.
Insiders say that while royal supporters have welcomed the Princess of Wales back into public life following her reduced appearances, Meghan is said to interpret the timing differently. According to the report, she feels that Kate’s renewed visibility appears to coincide closely with moments when Harry and Meghan are receiving favorable media coverage.
One source explained that, in Meghan’s view, it is difficult to see the overlap as accidental. The insider claimed that just as Meghan and Harry were gaining positive press from their international tour, Kate re-emerged prominently on the royal stage with her own set of engagements.
The report also alleges that Meghan believes there is a broader effort within the “royal system” to redirect public attention back toward the monarchy, particularly when her own projects or public appearances begin to gain momentum.
Additionally, insiders suggest Meghan has long felt that competition between her and Kate existed from the early days of their relationship. The same source indicated that she sees the current situation as a continuation of that perceived dynamic, rather than a new development.
It is important to note that these claims come from unnamed sources and remain unverified, reflecting ongoing media speculation surrounding the relationships within the royal family.
