Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton are once again at the center of the ongoing tension between Buckingham and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Despite living thousands of miles apart, Harry's wife doesn't forget her past with the British Royal Family. The saddest part of all is that now Meghan has once again lashed out at her former sister-in-law for no apparent reason.
She did so after an interview where she hinted that Kate acts under the yoke and perpetual scrutiny of the institution. Meghan delivered a phrase loaded with meaning that resonated with the public, reminding them that "a lie can't live forever." Many interpreted this phrase as a reference to Middleton's current life and her feigned perfection.
The truth between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton comes to light
The relationship between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton has always been a subject of debate among experts on the British Royal House. If there was a time when they got along, all of that blew up after Meghan and Harry's departure from Buckingham.
Now, the sad news that Meghan shares with Middleton and that no one is able to hide is that they still have a poor relationship. Harry's wife gave some compromising statements in one of her latest interviews that confirmed her real opinion of Kate.
With her calm and confident voice on the podcast Aspire with Emma Grede, Meghan stated that "a lie can't live forever." With these statements, even though she didn't mention a specific name, it didn't take long for people to find the intended recipient. That is none other than Kate, with whom Meghan still seems to have unsolved issues.
If recently Markle paid tribute to her freedom with a video while pregnant with Lilibet, these statements are along the same lines. According to British media such as Daily Mail, that implicit message was directed at Kate, highlighting opposing styles in the management of their public image.
While Meghan boasts spontaneity and authenticity, Kate remains under a carefully orchestrated narrative, in line with institutional discipline. For the Duchess of Sussex, this is a façade that, in her words, "can't live forever."
Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton remain distant
Since her interview with Oprah in March 2021, Meghan has denounced the official version imposed by the Royal Family's circle. Her disappointment with Kate was at its peak when she saw how Kate took a clear and evident stance against her by distancing herself.
Unlike Markle, Kate has chosen an attitude far from conflict, respecting her position within the British Royal Family. Her attitude, style, and gestures in her appearances reflect her way of identifying with her institutional role and respecting its traditions.
This has earned her the affection of the British people, and many see her as the true heir to Lady Di. Not so for Meghan, who accuses her sister-in-law of servility to the Crown and her inability to feel free and natural.
She perceives Kate as trapped in an institutional script, lacking personal authenticity and liberating spontaneity. Meghan insists that Kate acts under royal approval, without full freedom to express herself spontaneously. That reinforces an emotional gap between them, where Meghan claims narrative independence in contrast to Kate's monarchical constraints.
Thus, it is clear and evident to everyone that there is still a clear distance between Markle and Middleton. While Kate chooses silence, Meghan has the freedom that comes from being outside the institution to speak openly. Even if that means continuing to widen the rift and family problems, instead of fostering reconciliation.
