A look into their differing visions for royal life
A new report reveals the stark contrast between Princess Kate and Meghan Markle’s approach to their royal roles, shedding light on why they never saw eye to eye.
According to The Times, the two women had opposing perspectives on the monarchy, particularly in their attitudes toward palace staff and royal protocols. While Kate embraced tradition and adapted patiently to royal life, Meghan reportedly found the structure frustrating and sought to challenge long-standing customs.
An insider claimed Meghan saw Kate as “too eager to please” and a “goody-two-shoes,” whereas Kate believed respecting the institution was essential. Unlike Meghan, Kate valued guidance from both senior courtiers and junior staff, despite early skepticism from palace insiders.
While both faced internal scrutiny, Kate was reportedly more resilient in handling the complexities of royal life, whereas Meghan’s approach clashed with the institution. Their differences only widened the divide, and the two have since lost contact.
Meghan stepped down from royal duties in 2020 and relocated to the U.S. with Prince Harry. She has not returned to the UK since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in 2022, further highlighting the growing distance between the two royal women.
