Meghan Markle has been accused of thinking she had “more of a right to speak” than Princess Kate at certain events because she was “self-made”.

The Duchess of Sussex reportedly did not like that Prince William and Kate were above her and Harry in the palace hierarchy.

One such event where it was claimed there was “tension” among the Fab Four was the Royal Foundation Forum in 2018.

An insider told the Telegraph: “Meghan felt she was a self-made woman whereas Kate hadn’t really had her own career.

“She seemed to feel like she had more of a right to speak than her sister-in-law, who had married into the family as an unknown.

“Whereas Meghan regarded herself as a philanthropist who could teach the royals a thing or two about charity.

“I think she found it difficult that the Royal Foundation was already a well-oiled machine by the time she got there.”

It was reported that “formal” William and Kate gave Meghan a “lukewarm” reception when they first met her.

Prince Harry said in his memoir, Spare, that Kate stayed in the garden when he was introducing Meghan.

 

 

This comes as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were snubbed by the Duke of Westminster, who did not invite them to his wedding.

Despite being a close friend of Prince Harry and his son Archie’s godfather, Hugh Grosvenor reportedly wanted to avoid “drama” at his society wedding.

William and Kate and the King and the Queen are all invited, with the Prince of Wales even thought to be in the running to be best man.
