Speaking to Closer, Tom claimed: “Kate is glowing, Kate is successful, Kate is popular – everything that Meghan wanted.
“Meghan wants to be the Queen – and she doesn’t want to be five in the succession [with Harry].”
The royal author claims that after Meghan married Prince Harry and joined the royal family she only wanted to do things “her way”.
He added: “There’s only one way and that’s the royal way.”
Since stepping down as senior royals in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been carving out a life for themselves in California with their two kids, Prince Archie, four, and Princess Lilibet, two.
In order to become “financially independent”, the couple have signed some lucrative deals – one with Netflix rumoured to be worth £100m and another with Spotify believed to be worth about £30m, which has since ended.
But Tom claims Meghan has “undermined her status” and she is fighting a losing battle.
He said: “Meghan could never trump Kate – absolutely not at all.
“Everything she tries undermines her status and instead of going back to the privacy she said she needed – and why she had to leave Britain – every time she steps out into the spotlight, she loses a bit more. She just cannot win.”
Tom also claimed Meghan is ”desperate for an endorsement from Dior” and is “disappointed she hasn’t had one contract.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are hoping for a “year of redemption” after a tough 2023, sources have claimed.
The couple were slammed for their whiny Netflix documentary” and Harry’s “whiny biography” and donations to their Archewell Foundation dropped almost £9million in a year.
Meanwhile, the couple’s various attacks on the Royal Family and their own waning popularity have already resulted in a string of woes.
But the pair are looking at a fresh start for 2024 – with rumours Meg may get back into acting.
A source told US Weekly: “Harry and Meghan think 2024 will be the year of redemption’ – with Meghan apparently turning down offers of work left, right and centre and Harry also in ‘extremely high demand’.
And Meg has enlisted Beverly Hills talent agency William Morris Endeavour ahead of her long-planned relaunch in the New Year.
The source added: “They’ve actually been shocked by how popular she is. Her team has never seen anything like it.”
They claim she is being approached about everything from film roles to multimillion-dollar endorsement deals with major brands.It comes after the duchess appeared in a playful Instagram ad for a coffee company, a firm she holds shares in.
