Does Meghan Markle have the ‘worst judgment of anyone in the entire world’? Following claim by Princess Diana’s former confidante Tina Brown, we recall her questionable calls… and there’s plenty to choose from
Prince Harry said in January 2023 that trouble was brewing behind the scenes at Kensington Palace from the offset of his romance with the former Suits actress.
Although the Duke claims the Prince and Princess of Wales were ‘religious viewers’ of Suits, he said it was ‘fair’ to say that his family ‘didn’t get on’ with his wife ‘almost from the get-go’.
He explained: ‘There was a lot of stereotyping that was happening, that I was guilty of as well, at the beginning.’
He said the ‘stereotyping’ of Meghan, in part by William and Kate, was causing a ‘barrier’ to his family, preventing them from ‘welcoming her in.’
But the relationship continued to worsen, and in his book, Spare, Prince Harry detailed how Meghan asked to borrow a lip gloss from Kate ahead of their appearance at the first Royal Foundation Forum event in 2018.
He writes that Kate was surprised, but rummaged around in her bag before offering it to Meghan.
Harry goes on to claim that Meghan applied a little gloss to her finger, and rubbed it across her lips, before Kate made a ‘disgusted’ face.
As People magazine reports, Prince Harry speculated that Kate was ‘on edge’ around Meghan and suspected that she was ‘going to be compared to, and forced to compete with, Meg’.
In traditional royal fashion, Kate and William have refused to comment on their personal relationships, so only Meghan’s side of the story has been heard.
