Royal family
Meghan Markle must be struggling to have an “I told you so” moment over how the palace has handled Kate Middleton’s latest drama while also feeling sympathy for her sister-in-law, a royal expert suspects.
“Meghan, in particular, must be incredibly conflicted about all the heat Kate and the royals are receiving, not to mention the way the palace…continues to screw things up on a daily basis,” Christopher Andersen. he told Fox Digital earlier this week.
The author of “The King: The Life of King Charles III” explained further: “On the one hand, Meghan had to be understanding of all the stress Kate is going through while dealing with a serious medical issue.
“On the other hand, the palace media machine has never been more exposed for what it is: a complete disaster, a total disaster.”
The Duchess of Sussex, 42, has openly criticized the royal institution along with her husband, Prince Harry, for how they handled her health issues in the past, which is one more reason she can probably relate to Middleton. , also 42 years old.
In March 2021, Markle revealed to Oprah Winfrey that she had been struggling with suicidal thoughts while working as a senior member of the royal family due to the pressures of that lifestyle.
However, the “Suits” alum claimed at the time that when she once went to someone at the institution for help, she was allegedly rejected.
“Meghan and Harry know what it’s like to wake up and see those tabloid headlines attacking them for one thing or another,” Andersen also told Fox Digital.
“In (the couple’s) case, they were ridiculed, among other things, for saying too much. “In the case of the royal family, it is not enough to say enough about the medical crisis Kate is facing.”
The royal expert added that all the “unnecessary secrecy” surrounding Middleton has just fueled “public distrust of the monarchy and, by extension, the royal family itself,” adding: “Everything has gotten out of control.”
Kensington Palace revealed in January that the Princess of Wales would undergo “planned abdominal surgery” and would not be able to resume royal duties until “after Easter.”
Amid her recovery, Middleton has barely been seen in public, with only two paparazzi sightings that were not clearly visible, leading to speculation about the validity of the images.
Then, on Mother’s Day in the United Kingdom, the princess posted a photo of herself posing with her children (Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5), which she later it was revealed to be severely edited.
Middleton apologized via X last week, stating in part that “like many amateur photographers,” she “occasionally experiments with editing.”
She added at the time: “I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion caused by the family photo we shared yesterday.”
However, some did not believe that Middleton was actually behind the publication of the suspicious photo and it has been reported that the decision was actually “collective.”
Meanwhile, the palace has refused to release the original image, further fueling all the conspiracy theories about Middleton’s actual whereabouts.

A source recently told Us Weekly: “This has been one of Kate’s most challenging months as a royal, and she’s praying the fuss calms down as soon as possible.”
Although Markle and Middleton have had issues in the past, dating back to an alleged tearful breakup over Princess Charlotte’s dress at the former’s 2018 nuptials, Markle and Harry, 39, have reportedly sent her to Prince William’s wife “get well messages.” “
Andersen concluded by pointing out how Markle and Middleton can relate more than ever.
“(Markle) echoed the late Princess Diana’s distrust of the powerful within the monarchy,” the author of “The Day Diana Died” said.
“Now it appears that even Kate, who has always seemed to handle pressure with grace and effortlessness, is falling victim to palace intrigue and an inept press office.”
