[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't be surprised Kate is resentful and critical of Meghan after what she and her family were put through. She was made to wait for William for 10+ years, asked to give up whatever career or personal ambitions she may have had, changed her friend group, her family and their social status criticized, was at the receiving end of multiple humiliating breakups until she finally married William.

It must be super insulting to her to see Meghan just saunter into the Palace, get approval from the Queen and be fawned over in the media in addition to have Harry follow her around like a puppy. I would not be surprised at all if Kate is jealous and resentful.

I find it totally believable that she and Meghan don't get along that well. They are obviously very different people. Meghan never would have waited around for 10 years, through several humiliating public breakups and him expressing a wish to date other women, for a man to put a ring on it. She got that shit locked down in less than a year! LOL

Aside from that though, you can tell from their press photos together that they're not close friends who are easy with each other's company. There's a sense of distance between them. I highly highly doubt that they get into "cat fights" but I would 100% believe that they make bitchy comments about each other behind their backs to trusted confidants. I would love to be a fly on the wall to hear what Kate says about Meghan when it's just her and Pippa or maybe Carole in a room together!

I would also be willing to bet that Kate did next to nothing to reach out to Meghan and help her adjust to the palace rules and etiquette and weird family conventions, etc. She doesn't seem like a girls' girl at all to me. She is almost never seen with any female friends. There has to be a reason for that. I'm sure she justified it to herself that no one helped her with those things so why should she put herself out for the new girl.[/quote]

Kate has never struck me as a girls girl either. She is always attached to Pippa, her mom and then following around William. Its interesting that prior to meeting William there are tons of photos of her hanging out with girlfriends but after being his girlfriend her socialization changed. I don't know if other girls were jealous of her status as the girlfriend of Prince William or [b]she was so caught up in keeping him happy that she neglected any personal interests or friendships...her social life revolved around William.[/b]

She has had to make a lot of sacrifices, be thoroughly vetted and tested in order to attain her title and status today. Even now, she only seems to socialize with Carole, her mom, her children and William.

Compared to this...Meghan is a total girls girl, a jetset babe and a strong career woman. I won't be surprised if she thinks little of Kate's laziness and Kate is probably threatened by Meghan's sheer force of will.

I think it's mostly the bolded combined with William's paranoia about people breaking rank and talking about them to the press. [b]For example, during one of their breakups, she was involved in a charity crew event with a group of girls (which sounded good for her, frankly) but when they got back together, she felt pressured by the royal family to drop out because there was so much paparazzi attention on the group.[/b] Lots of photos of her in her workout gear rowing, which I guess the Queen and co. didn't appreciate.

Another example is that her boss at Jigsaw told the press that while she was a nice girl, she only took the job with the parameter that it would be super part time and she'd have to have her weekends free because she needed to be available for William whenever he was free.

I think she had school friends but a lot of them fell by the way side as she hung on their Waiting for William.[/quote]

And the thing is, she did it (dropped out of her commitment to the group at the request of the royal family)! Whereas, I think Meghan would laugh in someone's face if they asked her to do that and maybe that is why she is having problems right now.

BUT. Who is a better role model for young women?

Waity Katy or Meghan Markle who would laugh in your face if you suggested she not do something she wants to do and has every right to do?[/quote]

But is Meghan having problems? The Royal Family has given her everything she’s asked for and roles equal to and surpassing Kate especially only a half a year in. She’s had press events, garden parties on the palace lawn, two international tours, two household gifts from the Queen (three if you count their Cotswold home), hosted dignitaries on her own, and free reign to shape her future.

Personally I think it would have been great for Kate to show some backbone with the Royal Family, maybe she’d have more respect these days but I assume William would have seen that as an affront to his manhood so I guess she did whatever he wanted. Personally I LOVED those pictures of her rowing. She looked so happy, athletic and really admirable. [/quote]
