A former royal servant has disclosed the efforts made by the late Queen to uphold harmony within the Royal Family, particularly between Princess Kate and Meghan Markle.
Upon Meghan and Harry’s public announcement of their relationship, Prince William and Kate warmly welcomed Meghan, sparking hopes for a lasting bond. The quartet, dubbed the Fab Four, delighted fans on joint appearances.
Despite initial positivity, Harry’s memoir, Spare, unveils tensions between Meghan and Kate. The book details conflicts, including a dispute over bridesmaid dresses that left Meghan in tears and Kate feeling uncomfortable with sharing her lipgloss.
According to former royal butler Grant Harrold, the late Queen was dedicated to preserving unity within the Royal Family. He noted her intervention in diffusing any tensions, especially between Kate and Meghan.
Harrold emphasized the Queen’s focus on maintaining a strong and united front, particularly among the younger royals. He speculated that as Harry and Meghan’s relationship deepened, internal dynamics may have shifted, prompting the Queen to address any strains discreetly.
In 2018, reports surfaced of a strained exchange before Meghan and Harry’s wedding, where Kate allegedly shed tears over a bridesmaid dress issue. However, Meghan contradicted this account during her interview with Oprah Winfrey, stating that Kate had apologized for the misunderstanding.
Meghan acknowledged the challenges surrounding the wedding but praised Kate for taking accountability by apologizing and extending gestures of reconciliation.
