Fresh scrutiny surrounding Meghan Markle and her place within the royal family has resurfaced, this time thanks to comments made by author Catherine Mayer. The writer, who has long followed the British monarchy, recently claimed that the Duchess of Sussex struggles with Kate Middleton’s popularity and harbors resentment over no longer being “number one.”
Speaking in detail about the ongoing dynamic between the two women from the British Royal Family, Mayer alleged that Meghan “can’t bear” the fact that the Princess of Wales continues to enjoy supremely widespread public admiration.
Author claims Meghan Markle ‘wants revenge’ on not being number one
According to the author, Catherine Mayer, Kate Middleton’s position as the future Queen and her consistently favorable image have made it difficult for Meghan Markle to move on from her royal past. In fact, Mayer further suggested that Markle “wants revenge” and remains frustrated that the life she and Prince Harry envisioned after stepping down as senior royals has not unfolded exactly as they had hoped. The author further argued that the Duchess of Sussex had once expected to wield considerable influence outside the monarchy, but instead has had to watch as Middleton’s popularity only grew stronger.
The comments have reignited discussions about the relationship between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family. Markle and Prince Harry famously stepped back from royal duties in 2020 before relocating to California, where they have focused on media projects, charitable initiatives, and raising their family. Although speculation about tensions between Markle and Middleton has persisted for years, neither Markle nor Prince Harry has publicly addressed Mayer’s latest remarks.
The claims remain solely those of the author and have not been independently verified. Nevertheless, the comments have once again reignited public fascination with the Sussexes’ relationship with the monarchy and the contrasting paths taken by Markle and Middleton since Prince Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior royals in 2020. As interest in the British royal family continues to remain high, any new claims surrounding the two women are likely to spark fresh debate among royal watchers and fans alike.
