In a new Royal book, Meghan Markle has been warned that she will never be able to compete with Catherine, the Princess of Wales.
Despite claims made in the book that the Princess is too scared to do anything other than smile for photo opportunities, Royal commentator Lady Colin Campbell has dismissed many of these claims, particularly the criticism of the Princess.
According to Lady Colin Campbell, Meghan envies Kate due to her fabulous figure and gorgeous legs.
However, she described Meghan as merely presentable, stating that much of her image was an artificial construct.
Lady Colin Campbell further added, “I think it’s tremendous envy from Meghan’s point of view.
Meghan’s jealous because she’d like to be number one, but she’s never going to be number one.”
She also expressed her belief that Catherine does not feel jealous of Meghan, considering her an insignificant creature.
Princess Catherine recently graced the cover of People’s special edition titled “Christmas at the Palace,” a Royal Family album.
This 96-page edition is filled with colorful and black-and-white photos, including vintage ones.
The album features Princess Margaret playing Cinderella and the Queen playing Prince Florizel during their childhood.
Pages 62 to 65 showcase Meghan, but there are only three photos of her.
Rumor has it that Meghan called the People editors and demanded to be on the cover, while there are numerous photos of everyone else.
Catherine’s Christmas concert occupies eight pages, and there is also a delightful photo spread titled “Queen of Red and Green,” showcasing her Christmas outfits throughout the years.
Despite efforts by Omid Scobie and Meghan Markle to criticize Catherine, this collector’s edition is what the public sees at the checkout stand.
Scobie, in his scathing chapter dedicated to the future Queen, claims that the Princess of Wales has never had an interest in being friends with her sister-in-law.
He goes on to brand her a Stepford-like royal wife and the monarchy’s last shiny thing for many years to come.
Scobie states that Catherine earned the nickname Katie Keane and suggests that the late Queen liked her because she was coachable, unlike the strong-minded Princess Diana.
He further adds that Kate glides under the radar due to her lack of public struggles or oversized aspirations.
According to Scobie, she is comfortable in her role and willingly brings the requisite smile and elegance to her duties as Princess.
Meanwhile, Meghan was ignored by the institution when she was in pain, highlighting a dismal record.
William’s recent claim that his mother was too paranoid to speak the truth reinforces the notion that the institution still sees women who are not born into the family as ultimately disposable.
Scobie also points out that Kate’s workload is lower than other senior members of the royal family, making her technically a part-time working royal.
Kate began carrying out official royal engagements in 2011, the year she married Prince William.
Initially, she had 34 engagements after the wedding in April, but in the second year, she made a significant jump to 111, surpassing her husband’s count of 88 that year.
While on maternity leave in 2013, 2015, and 2018, the number of engagements naturally decreased.
However, since then, she has steadily increased the number of engagements each year, reaching a total of 138 last year.
Scobie acknowledges that Kate is not known for her leadership skills and outgoing nature like Meghan, who was seen as another shining ornament in the royal family tree before stepping down.
Despite the attacks on Kate, Scobie believes that Meghan was the star of the show and the new Diana after marrying Prince Harry.
He suggests that Harry and Meghan’s approach to being modern royals influenced the Cambridges, making them appear a little dull in comparison.
Meghan’s efficiency in getting things done prompted William and Kate to take note and change their course, resulting in Kate doing less learning and more doing.
Scobie concludes that although Meghan and Kate had nothing in common, they could have made things work in those early days if there was peace between the warring Windsor siblings.
