According to multiple royal insiders and leaked reports, Meghan alleges that Catherine was jealous and undermining during the lead-up to Meghan and Prince Harry’s wedding in 2018. A particularly explosive claim centers around disagreements over bridesmaid dresses for Princess Charlotte and Meghan’s friends, an argument described by royal experts as the "beginning of the end" for their relationship. Sources say Meghan accused Kate of jealousy over the spotlight and attention Meghan would receive, creating an atmosphere rife with tension.
Meghan’s challenges within Buckingham Palace reportedly went beyond personal conflicts. She has described feeling isolated, unsupported, and subjected to palace intrigues that left her emotionally drained. Insiders reveal that Meghan felt the institution was not prepared to accept her fully, leading to a series of public and private clashes that culminated in the Sussexes stepping back from royal duties.
Despite attempts at reconciliation, the relationship between Meghan and Kate remains strained, with palace aides cautioning that Kate, while open-minded, is fiercely protective of her family and wary of publicity stunts. Meghan’s desire to rebuild trust is seen as genuine, but royal insiders warn that deep wounds and differing personal and cultural perspectives make healing slow.
This bombshell from Meghan comes at a time when both women are navigating complex roles within and outside the monarchy, with Meghan focused on her growing media ventures and Kate juggling royal responsibilities and motherhood.
The public remains captivated by this royal saga, viewing it as emblematic of larger struggles within the monarchy—between tradition and modernity, loyalty and rivalry, visibility and privacy.
