A close friend of Catherine, Princess of Wales, has come forward to challenge the allegations made by Meghan Markle in the highly anticipated docuseries “Harry and Meghan.”

In the series, Markle claimed that the royal family’s formal public image extended to their private lives as well.

She recalled her first meeting with Catherine, alluding to a sense of coldness from her now sister-in-law, who allegedly did not reciprocate her physical affection.

According to Markle, she had always been a hugger and was taken aback by the formality exhibited by many Brits.

She stated, “I guess I’d start to understand very quickly that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside.

There is a forward-facing way of being, and then you close the door and you relax, but that formality carries on, on both sides of the door, and that was surprising to me.”

These critical claims have caused quite a stir among fans and critics of the monarchy.

While the royal family has yet to issue an official response to the docuseries, a close friend of Catherine has confirmed that she is not hesitant to display both public and private affection.

“Catherine’s a big hugger,” the friend revealed.

“She’s warm and friendly and greets everyone with a big hug and a kiss.

It comes naturally to her.”

This aligns with the testimony of a former royal butler, Grant Harrold, who described Catherine as friendly and fun.

Harrold, who served as a butler to King Charles from 2005 to 2012, was present during the early days of Catherine and William’s relationship.

He shared that Catherine was polite, friendly, and even made jokes while spending time with him and the other staff.

“They weren’t any different to anyone else,” he said, referring to the couple’s behavior as boyfriend and girlfriend.

As Meghan attempts to portray herself in a positive light, it seems that public opinion and media support are leaning towards Catherine.

One royal commentator, speaking on Meghan Kelly’s SiriusXM show, shed light on Markle’s alleged hatred and jealousy towards Catherine.

British royal commentators Sophie Corcoran and Leilani Dowding criticized Markle for seeking control and sympathy through her Netflix show.

Corcoran went on to say that Markle’s true intention was to gain control because she is a manipulator.

She explained that Markle was unable to manipulate the UK press to write the stories she wanted, which led to her anger and departure.

According to Corcoran, the entire documentary is fueled by Markle’s hatred and jealousy towards Catherine.

She believes that Markle envies Catherine’s beauty, elegance, future role as queen, and the attention she receives.

In conclusion, the revelations made by Princess Diana’s friend and the insights from a former royal butler challenge Meghan Markle’s claims about the royal family.

The public and media seem to be siding with Catherine, as Markle’s alleged animosity towards her becomes more apparent.

It remains to be seen how the royal family will officially respond to the docuseries and the ongoing controversy surrounding Harry and Meghan.
