In a surprising turn of events, a recent report suggests that Meghan Markle is still harboring bitterness over the fact that Catherine, the Princess of Wales, will be the future Queen of England instead of her.
Despite marrying Prince Harry, who has little chance of ascending the throne, Meghan had somehow convinced herself that she would eventually take over the monarchy.
However, her hopes were shattered when news broke that King Charles would be promoting Catherine on her birthday.
According to royal correspondent Rebecca English, there is a buzz in royal circles that King Charles may solidify Catherine’s new position by appointing her as a Royal Lady of the Order of the Garter.
Established almost 700 years ago by Edward III, this prestigious order of chivalry is inspired by the legendary tales of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.
The appointment, personally chosen by the monarch to recognize service to the crown or national life, would firmly establish Catherine’s seniority alongside Queen Camilla, the Princess Royal, Princess Alexandra, and other esteemed royal knights.
Traditionally, Catherine observes the annual Garter Day procession, where the king and his knights and ladies parade from Windsor Castle to St George’s Chapel in their magnificent velvet robes and ostrich plumed caps.
However, after more than a decade of exemplary royal service, many influential figures believe that Catherine deserves a place among the ranks in her own right.
Furthermore, there are rumors that both Catherine and Prince William might be granted the power to issue their own royal warrants for the first time.
This privilege, dating back to the Middle Ages, allows senior royals to grant companies the use of their coat of arms if they regularly provide goods or services.
Holding a royal warrant brings significant commercial prestige both domestically and internationally, with the potential to greatly benefit British businesses.
While it is expected that King Charles will issue new royal warrants himself and allow Queen Camilla to do the same, the inclusion of the Princess of Wales’ warrants would be highly anticipated.
Existing holders of royal warrants believe that the endorsement from the Princess of Wales would be invaluable to British industries, particularly in areas such as fashion and lifestyle.
Princess Catherine’s birthday falls on January 9th, and anticipation is building as Meghan Markle may feel compelled to overshadow this occasion.
It is no secret that Meghan is bitterly jealous of Catherine and all her accomplishments.
The Princess of Wales possesses everything that Meghan has long desired.
Despite claiming to crave privacy, Meghan continuously seeks the spotlight, inadvertently undermining her own status.
As the future Queen of England, Catherine’s rise within the royal family is undeniable.
While Meghan may struggle to let go of her aspirations, it is clear that Catherine’s position and influence continue to grow.
Only time will tell how Meghan will respond to this latest development, but one thing is certain – the rivalry between these two prominent figures shows no signs of abating.
