In a recent development, Princess Anne has decided to address the ongoing rift between the royal family and the estranged couple, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Specifically, she has firmly debunked Meghan Markle’s claim that Kate Middleton snubbed her during their first encounter in 2017.
Princess Anne asserts that Markle’s allegation is a complete fabrication.
In fact, it was Meghan herself who displayed rudeness and dismissiveness towards Kate, despite the warm welcome and support extended by the Duchess of Cambridge and the entire family.
According to Princess Anne, Meghan’s behavior during their initial meeting was notably cold and distant.
She hardly made eye contact or engaged in conversation, seemingly considering herself above needing Kate’s assistance.
Although hurt and confused by Meghan’s demeanor, Kate made an effort to maintain politeness and friendliness throughout the encounter.
Adding fuel to the fire, Princess Anne has followed the King’s orders to cancel Anne game, leaving Meghan visibly furious.
The reasons behind the King’s decision remain shrouded in mystery, intensifying public curiosity and speculation.
Some speculate that the King’s move is driven by a desire to protect Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, although the specific threat remains undisclosed.
Princess Anne’s statement comes in the wake of the release of Prince Harry’s memoir, where it was reported that Kate chose to stay in the garden at Kensington Palace with her children instead of meeting Meghan on the first day of her introduction to Prince William.
However, a translation issue arose when the memoir was accidentally released in Spain before the official publication date in January 2023.
The translated version led to misconceptions about Kate’s whereabouts.
According to Prince Harry’s original English-language version, he simply inquired about Kate’s location, to which William replied that she was out with the kids.
Princess Anne emphasizes that Meghan and Harry were generously provided with everything they desired, including a lavish wedding, a beautiful home, a generous allowance, and the freedom to pursue their interests and causes.
The entire family treated them with respect and affection, leaving them with no grounds for complaint or unhappiness, according to Princess Anne.
This controversy follows another translation issue involving Omid Scobie’s book, Endgame.
In the Dutch version, two alleged royal racists were implicated, with Kate and King Charles named according to the translators.
However, Omid Scobie denies these claims, and Buckingham Palace is reportedly considering legal action in response.
In Prince Harry’s memoir, he recounts the first time he introduced Meghan to William and Kate at their home.
The book describes Meghan giving William a hug, which surprised him as he is not known for being particularly affectionate.
After exchanging pleasantries, Harry asked William about Kate’s whereabouts, to which his brother replied that she was out with the kids.
At the time, it did not appear to be a significant issue.
Princess Anne concludes her statement by asserting that despite the challenges the royal family has faced, they remain unbroken.
They are a family with a rich history and heritage that they are proud of.
Moreover, they have a bright future and a destiny to look forward to.
With their strong loyalty to their king and queen, their resilience, and their determination, the royal family and the British people are united and ready to face whatever lies ahead.
