Meghan Markle has come under fire for her alleged decision to mock Princess Kate with her latest update.
Some commentators and royal fans believe the Princess of Wales’ return is upsetting the Duchess of Sussex.
Meghan’s recent public appearances and announcements have sparked speculation about tension between the royal wives, with some claiming Meghan feels overshadowed by Kate’s inspiring return to the spotlight.
The former Hollywood actress’ recent move also served as fuel to the fire amid growing speculations.
The release of Meghan’s Christmas special was delayed to be closer to Kate’s annual Christmas carol concert.
Meghan reportedly said at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women summit in Washington DC that her Christmas special would be released in November. But then he postponed it until December 3.
Some royal experts believe it was intentional because future Queen Kate celebrates her annual Christmas event on December 5.
“I thought it was intentional because Catherine holds her annual Christmas event on December 5,” royal commentator Kinsey Schofield told TalkTV.
Host Mark Donal added: “So he moved his event to the same week. That’s a scorched Earth policy.”
The Duchess previously received criticism for announcing her return as an actress while Prince William was in Brazil for Earthshot Week, with some feeling it wasn’t the right time.
His As usual The brand’s products also arrived in a store for the first time at the same time, giving fans a reason to speculate about the timing of its announcement.
The latest controversy arose after Meghan’s decision to highlight a detail linked to Kate in her brand’s new promotional material.
The duchess debuted a holiday gift set from her Goop-style brand (two jars of honey sold with a black leather bookmark) exclusively at Godmothers, an upscale Montecito bookstore owned by friends Victoria Jackson and Jennifer Rudolph Walsh.
In Instagram images, the marker appears inside The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse, Charlie Mackesy’s best-selling book.
Royal watchers were quick to point out the location, as Mackesy worked closely with Catherine last year, creating custom illustrations for the order of service at Westminster Abbey for its annual carol concert.
In the promotional shots, the bookmark is on a page with the quote: “Always remember that you matter and you are important and you are loved and you bring things to this world that no one else can.”
In reaction to this, one commenter wrote on X: “It’s no coincidence that Meghan Markle chose to use this image from Charlie Mackesy’s book The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse in her latest Instagram post.”
Another added: “Of all the books in the world, she has to use this one. Truly amazing.”
While others believe Meghan’s choice of book was a “very deliberate” reference to Catherine’s carol service. It seems like another silent blow, another carefully placed insinuation. Kate’s fans believe she is trying to take the spotlight out of her hands.
