The friendship between Meghan Markle and Princess Kate was doomed right from the start, according to a royal expert.
In a recent interview on GB News, Mail on Sunday editor Charlotte Griffiths discussed the frosty relationship between the Duchess of Sussex and the future Queen of England, stating that a reconciliation between the two is unlikely.
Griffiths pointed out that Meghan’s decision not to wear shoes during her first meeting with Kate immediately signaled a clash of personalities.
This wardrobe choice, according to the expert, indicated that they were not destined to be friends.
She emphasized that when greeting the future Queen of England for the first time, it is only natural to expect the person to be wearing shoes.
The editor also revealed that while Kate and Prince William were never particularly warm towards Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex did not make it easy for them either.
Meghan had high expectations, hoping for a warm embrace during their first encounter.
However, her decision to show up without shoes on did not help her case.
Griffiths acknowledged that Kate may not have been warm and fuzzy towards Meghan, but she believed that the Duchess of Sussex was too easily offended by both the royal family and the British press in general.
She pointed out that while Meghan was initially adored by the public and media, who saw her as the next Princess Diana, she quickly fell out of favor due to her inability to handle the situation with grace and patience.
The editor also referenced an incident in 2018 when Meghan impressed during the Royal Foundation Forum, where she discussed her aspirations for charity work alongside Kate and Princes William and Harry.
However, while Meghan’s star rose quickly and burned brightly, Kate’s success was attributed to her ability to steadily grow her confidence and presence on the royal stage.
In conclusion, it seems that Meghan’s chances of forming a friendship with Kate were doomed from the beginning.
Their clashing personalities, highlighted by Meghan’s unconventional wardrobe choice, set the tone for their relationship.
While Kate may not have been warm towards Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex’s inability to handle the situation with patience and grace ultimately led to the demise of any potential friendship.
