We see pictures of the beautiful Meghan Markle every day, but we rarely get a true glimpse into her life before she was royal.

But these pictures of Meghan Markle are just gorgeous.

From her Hollywood days to her royal status, Meghan’s life has always been of interest to the public. However, one aspect that often remains hidden from the public eye is her childhood. Meghan’s uncle has released some rare pictures of her as a child, giving us a glimpse into her early years.

Meghan Markle’s uncle recently unveiled a treasure trove of rare childhood photos of the Duchess. These candid snapshots provide a charming glimpse into Meghan’s early years. Joseph Johnson shared unseen family pictures with the Daily Mail this week, and they show us a side of Meghan we’ve never seen.

In one picture, we see a tiny Meghan opening a birthday present during a family party, reportedly her second birthday. In one of the photos, a young Meghan can be seen smiling brightly, showcasing her radiant personality even at a young age.

Another picture shows her playing with toys, highlighting her playful and carefree nature. Another snap shows Meghan Markle sitting on her dad’s knee at the dinner table. They are seated around the table with her two half-siblings Samantha and Thomas Jr, and her mum, Doria Ragland at the top of the table.

In another of the unseen snaps, a baby Meghan is seen sitting on her mum’s lap. Doria is opening a birthday card while Markle is looking somewhere in the direction of the camera.

These rare images provide a glimpse into Meghan’s upbringing and family life. They offer a glimpse of the environment in which she grew up and the experiences that shaped her into the woman she is today.

Meghan Markle Praises Her ‘Very Chatty, Sweet Children’ Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie

Meghan Markle gushed over her two “chatty, sweet” children, Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie during her trip to Nigeria.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, spoke candidly about motherhood during a panel discussion about women in leadership on Saturday, May 11, according to People. Meghan further addressed how she balances raising children and pursuing her career.

Meghan, who shares Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 4, with husband Prince Harry, recounted a conversation she had with her mentor Bonnie Hammer, vice chairman of NBCUniversal, while she was still starring on the resurgent USA drama Suits.

“She invited me to have breakfast, and I thought this was just the biggest deal in the world,” Meghan said. “And I asked her that exact question. I said, ‘How do you find the balance?’ And she said, ‘You don’t, you’ll never find the balance.’”

She added, “And this was before I was married. This was before I had children. This is before all the things in my life have certainly had a plot twist,” referencing her marriage to Harry.

“What I think that means now is that that balance will always change for you … What seems balanced 10 years ago is going to shift,” Meghan said. “And so being a mom has always been a dream of mine. And I’m so fortunate that we have two beautiful, healthy, very chatty, sweet children.” She added, “I love being a mom.”

Harry, 39, and Meghan kicked off their first official tour of Nigeria on Friday, May 10, with a visit to a school in the capital city of Abuja. While speaking to a group of students at the Lightway Academy, Meghan recounted an emotional conversation she had with her daughter.

“Our daughter, Lili, she’s much, much tinier than you guys. She’s about to turn three,” she said. “And a few weeks ago she looked at me and she would just see the reflection in my eyes. And she [goes], ‘Mama, I see me in you.’”

Meghan added that while Lilibet was speaking “really literally,” she “hung onto those words in a very different way.” She said to the students, “I thought, yes, I do see me in you, and you see me in you. As I look around this room, I see myself in all of you as well.”

Harry and Meghan’s three-day visit to the African country also serves as the 10th-anniversary celebration of the Invictus Games, co-founded by Harry to honor wounded military veterans. On their second day in Nigeria, the couple attended a volleyball game hosted by Nigeria: Unconquered, a charity affiliated with the Invictus Games.

Meghan Markle pays homage to Princess Diana with necklaces on Nigeria trip

Meghan Markle has taken another page out of Princess Diana’s style book.

The Duchess of Sussex was photographed during her trip to Nigeria Friday wearing a gold necklace that looked very similar to one her late mother-in-law once wore while visiting the same African country.

Markle paired the gold collar jewelry with a cream-colored top and a white blazer. Diana also chose to wear light colors when she wore hers back in 1991.

Markle then chose to honor the former Princess of Wales once again on Saturday by wearing a gold cross necklace that a source tells Page Six actually belonged to Diana.

The “Suits” alum showed off the dainty chain by pairing it with a white strapless dress by St. Agni.

Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, were invited to a reception hosted by Christopher Musa, the chief of the Nigerian defense staff, in honor of military families.

The couple announced the unveiling of a rehabilitation center at the reception.

Earlier in the day, Markle, 42, cheered on Harry, 39, while he played at a volleyball game.A 9-year-old girl named Tiwa Akanbi, who was present, told reporters that the duchess gushed to her, “Prince Harry loves to play volleyball” and that “he’s very good at it.”

Markle is not just a fan of her spouse — but evidently also his late mom, as she has turned to Diana for fashion inspiration many times before.

In May 2023, the mother of two was seen wearing Diana’s Cartier watch during a hike.

Markle reportedly wears the time-keeping piece nearly every day. She also sports a Bentley & Skinner diamond tennis bracelet, which is believed to have been a gift from King Charles III to his late ex-wife.

The Sussexes are in Africa to promote their philanthropic efforts.

On Friday, Markle stirred up conversation online when she wore a dress that has a peculiar name.

The former “Deal or No Deal” model wore a backless peach maxi dress, whose style is known as “Windsor” — which is also the royal house of the United Kingdom.

“Im convinced she is doing this on purpose at this point. Infamy is her goal – not approval. She is taking a page out of Wallis’s handbook,” one critic tweeted at the time.

Another royal fan chimed in, “Done as a snub. DEFINITELY.”

King Charles Called Prince Harry ‘That Fool’

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Netflix show “took the wind out of everyone’s sails” and left King Charles III describing his second son as “that fool,” according to biographer Omid Scobie’s new book.

The author wrote bombshell book Finding Freedom, released in 2020, which marked the first major reveal of Harry and Meghan’s perspective on their royal exit, complete with allegations that Prince William was a “snob.”

Harry and Meghan had always denied having anything to do with it until the duchess was forced to admit during a Court of Appeal hearing in a lawsuit against The Mail on Sunday that she authorized an aide to give information to Scobie and co-author Carolyn Durand.

Scobie’s second, solo project Endgame comes out on Tuesday and described the reaction at the palace after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s six-hour docuseries Harry & Meghan dropped in two parts on Netflix in December 2022, three months after Queen Elizabeth II died and Charles became king.

According to a leaked extract published in The Sun, Scobie wrote: “At the palace, heads were in hands and migraines were brewing. ‘[The show] took the wind out of everyone’s sails,’ said one aide.”

“(He) went from not wanting anyone to talk about his son to openly criticizing ‘that fool,’ ” the book says.

Other leaked extracts suggested there were two people who discussed the skin color of Meghan Markle’s unborn child named in letters sent between the duchess and the king in March 2021 after the Oprah Winfrey interview.

A letter from Charles, according to the book, expressed “no ill will” or “casual prejudice” had been involved and following the correspondence there were no “hard feelings” over the “specific incident.”

Meanwhile, the exchange meant “both had been heard,” though there was still much that was unresolved.

Meghan told Oprah Winfrey in March 2021: “So we have in tandem the conversation of ‘He won’t be given security, he’s not going to be given a title’ and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born.”

More than 18 months later in January 2023, Harry moved to clarify that the couple meant to accuse the royals of “unconscious bias” and had not meant to trigger the resulting hunt for the identity of the “royal racist,” which he blamed on the media.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are also said to have thought a South Park episode that ridiculed Harry and Meghan was “hilarious.”

The “Worldwide Privacy Tour” episode showed the “Prince and Princess of Canada,” who looked like Harry and Meghan, touring TV studios to campaign for privacy.

Endgame will be published by Dey Street, an imprint of HarperCollins, on Tuesday.

King Charles has simple four-word response for Harry as he reaches out to meet

Prince Harry is set to return to the UK for the first time in more than a year, and has reportedly reached out to his father King Charles to ask if the monarch will meet with him during his trip

King Charles has reportedly set the four-word terms of an agreement to meet with Prince Harry when he returns to the UK next week.

The Duke of Sussex is set to attend a special service at St. Paul’s Cathedral to celebrate 10 years of the Invictus Games. Reports have claimed no senior royals will be attending the landmark anniversary event with Harry, but that the Duke has reached out to his father asking him to meet while he is in the country.

The last time Harry met with Charles was shortly after the monarch had been diagnosed with cancer, and had begun regular treatment.

Due to the last-minute nature of the visit, Charles was only able to see his younger son in London for less than an hour before he headed back to Sandringham to rest.

However, sources have now claimed that when Prince Harry contacted his father to ask for a new meeting, King Charles had a simple four-word response to the request, that he would definitely do so “if he is able”, reports the Mirror.

“Harry has kept in regular contact with his father on several occasions and made no secret of his desire to see him when he can,” a source has said. “He has been especially concerned about him and hopes the King will be well and able to see him as planned.”

The pair could meet very soon (Image: Getty Images)

Initially, after starting his cancer treatment, Charles’ medical team suggested he take a break from “public-facing engagements”, although the King was able to continue with state affairs behind closed doors.

However, in a significant boost for the royals, King Charles’ doctors have recently revised this advice, stating that he can conduct some public engagements as they are “sufficiently pleased with the progress made so far” by the monarch.

While Charles won’t be back to full capacity and any scheduled engagements will “remain subject to doctors’ advice”, according to a palace spokesperson, his diary for the upcoming week is already quite packed. Despite this, a royal insider has confirmed that King Charles fully intends to make time for Harry, despite his busy schedule.

Royal Family imagined by AI in 30 years time – William abdicates and Harry’s divorced

In thirty years time, Prince George is king and a divorced Prince Harry has more hair, according to a team of French journalists and fascinating images created by AI

What the future Royal Family looks like has been conjured up with AI which has created images of the Firm set in 30 years time.

French journalists at Paris Match were behind the idea, who speculated how the lives of Prince William, Kate Middleton and their offspring pan out.

As part of their predictions, Prince William became King but abdicated in 2049, making way for Prince George to take the crown, reports MailOnline.

In Paris Match’s hypothetical future, Prince George becomes King in 2050, and with that, Kate the new Queen Mother.

Prince George, at his imagined coronation, bears little resemblance to the boy he is now (Image: @AUTRE)

Prince George’s coronation is a lavish affair, in part due to a public “addicted to historical fiction on Netflix ”.

In one notable difference to now, Paris Match has imagined that the bagpipes that woke the late Queen Elizabeth up no longer wake the sleeping monarch, after King Charles canned the tradition during his reign. Instead, just like the rest of us, King George is woken by an alarm on his iPhone, which reminds him to take the “first” selfie of the day.

Pierrick Geais wrote for French Match: “The centuries-old tradition – so dear to Elizabeth II – did not survive Charles III. In his bed, George VII painfully opens his eyes to the first vibrations of his iPhone, the 45th of the name.

“Barely awake, not yet having his hair done, the king is called to order by imperious notifications: ‘It is time, my lord, to publish the first selfie of the day.

“From now on, the sovereign must document his day, hour by hour, on social networks to satisfy his followers… well, his subjects.”

In the AI-created pictures, the Princess of Wales as the Queen Mother, has aged remarkably well, and has adopted a Queen Elizabeth-style hair do, to frame her still beautiful, but somewhat stern, face.

Prince George, in a Coronation image created by AI app Autre, is unrecognisable from his current 10-year-old self, looking rather like an actor playing a role on set.

The French team paired Princess Charlotte off with King Louis-Philippe I descendant Gaston Louis Antoine Marie d’Orleans, marrying the blue-blooded couple in 2046 and reinvigorating the French monarchy.

Prince Harry has returned to the royal fold, divorced from Meghan who has gone on to marry a US senator who goes on to become president. Back in the UK, he spends his days tending to the gardens at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire.

In the AI image of future Prince Harry, the Duke looks like a younger version of his dad, but with more hair than perhaps either of them do now.

It’s not the first time AI has given Harry more hair. Daily Star created AI images of Western celebrities donning North Korean state sanctioned haircuts, one of which was Harry.

Baring a striking resemblance to Bear Grylls, AI here also gave Harry back what nature had taken away.

Prince Harry and Meghan documentary to peel back curtain – this time they’ve had no say

A new documentary is set to delve into the lives of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, with the German TV production potentially exposing fresh secrets about the couple

A bombshell German documentary is set to expose new secrets about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

The high-profile TV production will once again shine a spotlight on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The documentary, directed by seasoned Royal Family journalist Ulrike Grunewald, is being produced for Germany’s ZDF network.

It’s expected to look a bit different to the couple’s 2022 Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan, which shared recent events in their lives through their own eyes.

Grunewald has jetted off to California with a team of five, including respected London producer Mo Davies, to gather insights in Montecito, where the Royal couple rub shoulders with other A-listers just north of Hollywood.

Among those interviewed is Richard Mineards, a former Fleet Street Royal reporter who now writes for The Montecito Journal. In his latest column, he revealed: “Los Angeles-based producer, Melanie Hillmann grilled me for two hours on my Riven Rock neighbours, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, under director Ulrike Grunewald. The interview is airing in due course as part of a prime-time documentary on ZDF Royal.”

Grunewald, a well-known figure in German television and a presenter on the news programme Heute-Journal (Today-Journal), has been covering Royal affairs since 1987. Her first major assignment was reporting on then-Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s visit to Germany for ZDF.

The Scottish Daily Express reports that this expert, known for her knack of unearthing hidden truths and delivering sensational revelations about her subjects, has a string of notable documentaries under her belt. These include Princess Diana’s Dangerous Legacy, The Queen and the Power of Images; Fergie! reports the Express.

After earning her doctorate from the University of Mainz in 2012, she delved into academic research on the history of the British Royal Family. Her groundbreaking work opened doors to previously untouched documents in the Royal Archives housed within Windsor Castle.

Harry and Meghan were said to seem close last year at the games (file) (Image: Getty Images)

Grunewald caught a glimpse of the Prince at the Invictus Games in Dusseldorf in September 2023. The expert observed: “Now that Meghan is here, he is over the moon. They have been holding hands, cheering competitors on at various matches and games. They seem intimate and very close. Either that or they are very good actors. From where I’ve been watching, they seem very in love.”

She further added: “It felt like the old Harry was back. He talked to all of us. We had some little toys that we gave for Archie and Lilibet. He said he was enjoying Germany and has a lot of German in him, he was obviously referring to his family heritage.”

Meghan Markle has thanked Nigerians for welcoming her to ‘my country’ as she hopes she can ‘do justice’ to being a ‘role model’.

The Duchess of Sussex, who recently discovered she is ’43 per cent Nigerian’, wowed crowds today as she and Prince Harry continue their whirlwind ‘royal’ tour to the African nation.
Meghan arrived almost an hour late to the women in leadership summit in a spaghetti strapped red dress without her husband Prince Harry.
She told the audience: ‘I want to start by saying thank you very much for just how gracious you’ve all been in welcoming my husband and I to this country… my country.’
She also added: ‘I am just flattered and honored and inspired. It has been a whirlwind 24 hours since we arrived, and I very quickly got the memo that I need to wear more colour, so I can fit in with all of you and your incredible fashion.’
When asked how she felt after discovering she was 43% Nigerian through a genealogy test, Meghan said the first thing she did was ‘call my mom, because I wanted to know if she had any awareness of it.’

This is the second day of the Duchess’ tour of Nigeria with her husband Harry

Meghan told the audience: ‘I want to start by saying thank you very much for just how gracious you’ve all been in welcoming my husband and I to this country… my country’
Meghan went on: ‘Being African-American, part of it is really not knowing so much about your lineage or background, where you come from specifically.
‘And it was exciting for both of us to discover more and understand what that really means. Never in a million years would I have understood it as much as I do now.
‘It’s been really eye-opening and humbling to be able to know more about my heritage and to be able to know this is just the beginning of that discovery.’
Defining Nigerian women as ‘brave, resilient, courageous, powerful, beautiful’, Meghan said: ‘It is the most flattering thing to be in that company, to be in your company.’
She also added: ‘I often find that whatever travels I’ve done, regardless if it’s Nigeria or another country around the world, oftentimes when women reach the peak of success, they leave.
‘But you need to come back home. You need to at least be a familiar face for the next generation to say: “Oh, she looks like me – and I can be that.”
‘And I think that is a really key piece in all of it… It’s defined by, and you still always want to come back home, because that’s how you’re going to help shift any sort of generational pattern that might be stifling, especially for young girls who need to see someone who looks like them in that same position.’
After being told by a moderator that she had ‘come home’, Meghan replied: ‘I hope that I could do justice to the role model that I think so many young women deserve to have.
‘Obviously in the face of all of you here, I know that they, they see that. But being able to be a small part of that means a lot.’

Earlier today, Meghan wowed crowds again as she attended a lunch with the Nigerian defence minister.
Wearing a shoulderless St Agni full length white dress Meghan drew gasps from onlookers as she walked into the officers mess for the reception with the Nigerian chief of defence staff Christopher Musa.
Harry had a cream linen suit and was heard joking with one guest who was wearing a black tuxedo: ‘Love your jacket. I want it.’
After being seated the British and Nigerian national anthems were played with the couple facing a stage decorated with red, white and blue balloons.
The lunch event came shortly after Harry and Meghan attended a sitting volleyball match and were mobbed by fans as they carried on their Nigeria visit – which has become a royal tour in all but name.
Guests at the lunch were able to choose from five different menus including special fried rice, fish fillet sauce and jollof rice.
There was cow offal with ofada sauce or if you they were reluctant to try the traditional Nigerian menu they could opt for spaghetti bolognese or grilled chicken.
A dance troupe entertained guests with music and rhythmic drumming with Harry and Meghan tapping and swaying to the beat.
A giant poster on the stage was perhaps not the best choice as it featured a rather stern looking Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
During the lunch Abike Dabiri-Erewa of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission gave a warm tribute to Meghan and her west African heritage – although she got her title wrong.
She said: ‘Princess Meghan, we want to thank you for coming home and Prince Harry thank you for bringing her home.
‘You have married a sister of ours and we hope that you come home again, again and again.’
Meghan is a Princess of the royal family, but she is not entitled to call herself Princess Meghan.
She was given the title after marrying Prince Harry -e Duchess of Sussex by the late Queen Elizabeth and the title Princess as she wasn’t born into the royal family.
Noticeably the Duke and Duchess appeared not to eat anything on offer and at times the lunch descended into chaos with a disco beat thumping in the background.

The couple listened to stories from several amputees and among them was lance corporal Peacemaker Azuegbulam, 27, who lost his left leg while fighting.
He told MailOnline: ‘I am excited that Harry and Meghan are here and I have been inspired by their vision in the Invictus Games.
‘Like him I have given selfless service and am now in a military hospital, but I hope to take part in the Invictus Games and encourage my e fellow wounded comrades there is ability in our disability.’
The event which ran over by almost an hour had the couple’s entourage frantic as Meghan was due to take part in a Women in Leadership event at 3pm – but they were still at the lunch with ten minutes to go.
Meghan was due to speak at the private event with Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala of the World Trade Organisation – but as she was due to take the stage they were being presented with an array of brightly coloured shirts and dresses.
Earlier in a five minute speech Harry had thanked his hosts and said it was an ‘immense honour’ to be in Nigeria where the ‘reception and energy have been remarkable’.
He also paid tribute to 16 men from the 181 Amphibious Battalion who were killed in a peace mission in Nigeria’s Delta region in March.
He said: ‘Their sacrifice showed the true cost of service and the profound impact of conflict on children and nations alike.’
Harry also praised Nigeria for its commitment to the Invictus Games and said that he had ‘goosebumps’ from hearing the ‘efforts being made’ by the country to build facilities for wounded soldiers.
He added: ‘Uniting our efforts we can make remarkable progress in acknowledging sacrifices made by our military personnel.’
Harry then joked: ‘We know move onwards to Lagos where they may be some dancing and I thank you for your hospitality.’

Security has been tight for the visit by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex

Earlier in the day Meghan sparked mayhem as she turned up to the exhibition volleyball match in an embroidered £2,275 Joanna Ortiz Tropicana Nights dress, patterned with black and white palm leaves as she tried to beat the 35c heat.
The outdoor volleyball match at the Officers Mess was their first official engagement on Saturday and once again the couple were the centre of attention.
Meghan was happy to pose for selfies – at one point being lost amongst the crowd – and some were even reduced to tears after meeting her.
Meanwhile Harry also delighted onlookers when he took part in a game. However unfortunately his Nigeria Unconquered team ended up losing 21-25 to the Chief of Defence staff squad with all the players being wounded military personnel.
The Sussex Squad – a group of Harry and Meghan fans – were out in force as they cheered the Duke and Duchess on their arrival just before midday.
Aptly named Royalty Ojeh, six, was chosen to present a stem of roses to Meghan who pulled one out of the bunch and handed it back to the awe-struck little girl.
As they arrived there were loud cheers from a group of fans holding up placards reading ’43 per cent Nigerian’ in a nod to Meghan’s recent admission of her west African heritage.

Others jokingly said ‘Harry you owe us dowry’ with London based Michela Rituc explaining: ‘ It’s traditional for dowry and Meghan is Nigerian so he owes us.
‘When she announced her heritage, I already knew it you can just tell from the mother’s face and the grandmother’s face, definitely eastern Nigerian.
‘The features say it all and the whole country melted when she said it, she is our daughter, our daughter and we couldn’t be happier.
‘We have always loved Meghan, ever since we saw her in Suits and we are so happy she has come home to visit us.’
As he took to the pitch to join in with Invictus game board member David Wisey, Harry took off a green and white Nigerian scarf he had been given before enthusiastically joining in.
Sitting on the ground he joined the Nigeria Unconquered team for a huddle and motivational high five before getting stuck in.
Many of the players – who included men and women – were amputees and Meghan looked on clapping and cheering as Harry and his team.
But it was the Nigerian Chief of Defence staff team who took the match and there were smiles and hugs all round at the end as Harry and Meghan met the players.
As with the defence headquarters meeting on Friday at times there were chaotic scenes as Meghan was engulfed by excited fans in pop star style scenes.
Harry – who at times appeared concerned – continually cast a vigilant eye towards his wife as their US and American security team tried to keep control.
A source close to the couple told MailOnline: ‘They are so happy to be in Nigeria and having a great time. Everyone has been so welcoming towards them and they are really feeling the warmth of the people.
‘As far as they are concerned it’s been a fantastic trip and they couldn’t be happier.’
On Sunday the couple will travel to Lagos where they will watch a basketball match and also attend a fundraising event at the city’s polo ground before returning to Britain on Monday and onwards to California.
The spectacle comes as the couple enjoy the second day of their 72-hour tour of the African nation, the day after Harry and Meghan delighted schoolchildren when they visited the Wuse Lightway Academy.

Prince Harry revealed messages from Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle about sewing bridesmaid dresses that made their wives… cry!

In the memoir Spare released today (January 10), the Duke of Sussex – Prince Harry – details the back-and-forth argument between his wife and sister-in-law over the “ill-fitting” dress of Princess Charlotte, the royal daughter. Prince William.

“Charlotte’s dress is too big, too long, too baggy,” Harry recalled the Princess of Wales texting Meghan Markle about dresses being measured before trying them on. “She cried when she let her daughter try on dresses,” Harry said.

Duchess of Sussex – Meghan Markle (41 years old) then said to Kate Middleton: “Okay, I would like to inform you that the tailor has been waiting since 8 am. Can you take Charlotte to get her dress repaired like the other mothers are doing?

Instead of agreeing to the changes, Kate was allegedly asked by Meghan to “remake all the dresses,” even discussing the matter with her wedding designer, who agreed to the request by Kate.

Princess Charlotte’s dress was said by Kate Middleton to be “too wide, too long, too baggy”. People

To try to help Kate understand the stress she was under, Meghan asked Kate if she knew about her conflicts with her biological father, Thomas Markle.

“Meg asked if Kate knew what was going on right now, with her father,” Harry recalled. “Kate said she knew, but what about the dresses? Then Harry’s wedding will take place in four days!”

Meghan Markle feels she is “superior” to her sister-in-law, Princess Kate, because she is an independent woman with her own career, source

Except for procedural events of the British Royal Family, the first and only time the two couples William – Kate and Harry – Meghan appeared together was a conversation on stage at the Royal Foundation Forum in February. /2018.

Despite the image of unity that the “Fab Four” tries to portray, viewers can feel their stiffness and awkwardness. This provides insight into why Meghan never seemed to have feelings for Kate and vice versa.

Although some believe the royal sister-in-law relationship broke down after a tearful row over Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress fittings before Harry and Meghan’s wedding in May 2018, the issue between They seem to have existed before that.

An insider told the Telegraph the Duchess of Sussex is uncomfortable with being placed behind the Prince and Princess of Wales in the palace hierarchy.
“I feel like Meghan sees herself as an independent woman while Kate doesn’t really have her own career yet. She seems to feel like she has more right to speak out than her sister-in-law – who was only anonymous before entering the royal family. Meghan considers herself a philanthropist who could teach the royal family a thing or two about charity. I think she found it difficult as the Royal Foundation was already a well-oiled machine by the time she got there,” the source shared.
In the book The Palace Papers (2022), author Tina Brown describes Meghan taking up most of the airtime during a talk at the Royal Foundation Forum.

At a time when the #MeToo movement was in full bloom, Meghan implemented an issue that had never been raised in the foundation – women’s empowerment. This statement surprised Harry while William and Kate seemed emotionless.
“This event is supposed to promote better mental health, and the Duchess appears to be politicizing it,” Ms. Brown wrote.

The source added that at the same time as the forum, Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, flew to London to christen her daughter and prepare for the wedding. Strangely, Meghan never introduced her to her brother-in-law and sister-in-law even though the Welsh family repeatedly asked to meet.
“It’s all very strange. Meghan seems to want to create separation between them,” the insider commented.
Even before the Royal Foundation Forum, right from the moment she first came into contact with the royal family in 2016, Meghan had a certain sensitivity about Kate.
In his memoir Spare, Harry said that when he first introduced Meghan to his brother, Kate was still in the garden playing with the children. This was not the welcome the Sussexes expected. From that point on, Meghan always insisted on calling the Princess of Wales “Kate”, instead of the name “Catherine” like the rest of the family.
Meghan is also said to be upset by the privileges that the heir to the throne enjoys. One of them is that the Welsh family has free access to the Windsor Suite, a VIP lounge at Heathrow airport, which usually costs about 5,000 pounds ($6,317) to enter.
Before moving to their bridal home Frogmore Cottage in Windsor in April 2019, Harry and Meghan lived in Nottingham Cottage quite modestly. Meanwhile, William and Kate’s accommodation at Apartment 1A, Kensington Palace is very luxurious. Meghan is clearly unhappy about this disparity. What she didn’t know was that her brother and sister-in-law also lived in Nottingham Cottage for two years (2011-2013) after getting married.
Meghan was also “stirred” when people praised Kate for her mothering skills, wardrobe and kindness. The Duchess has a hasty personality and likes to share everything about herself. Meanwhile, Kate has an introverted personality, always keeping her emotions and private things to herself.
Kate is also a royal fashion icon. Every outfit she wears becomes a topic of discussion in the media. Meghan once complained of not being given much help with clothes and was forced to wear muted tones so as not to overwhelm other royal members. However, many times people see her appear in brightly colored outfits.

As for William and Kate, their impression of Meghan was not good due in part to being influenced by mutual friends after the shooting party in Sandringham (UK). Here, Meghan seemed to clash with 16 guests over political issues, including the upcoming election that helped Donald Trump win the US presidency in January 2017.
Tom Bower revealed in Revenge (2022) that Meghan did not hesitate to challenge any guests whose views were contrary to her values. Some friends evaluate that the beauty born in 1981 lacks a sense of humor. At the end of the party, related messages about Meghan’s aggressive personality were spread among friends.

Despite Omid Scobie criticizing Kate for isolating Meghan in the book Endgame, many people still side with the Princess of Wales because she always maintains a standard image and “never puts a foot wrong”.
On the contrary, Meghan and Harry are suspected of being behind Scobie’s strings to defame the honor of his brother and sister-in-law. Their silence before the new attack on the British Royal Family further strengthens the public’s belief in the above statement.
