00:00Here are the reasons why people love Kate Middleton more than Meghan Markle.
00:08It's been more than a decade since Kate Middleton officially joined the royal family.
00:23Kate Middleton is considered to be the picture of royal elegance, a style queen,
00:29and the people's darling.
00:35Meghan Markle by most people is an outspoken duchess who's shaking things up a lot
00:40and she's considered to be a lightning rod for drama.
00:52When we contrast the two, Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, two well-known members of the
00:58British royal family, have very different ways of doing things. Meghan is outspoken and not afraid
01:05to break away from royal traditions, and she's also proud of her American roots.
01:17Some people admire her for standing up for what she believes in,
01:20while others criticize her for not following the rules.
01:23Royal rules Meghan Markle had to follow, and broke.
01:41Meghan even decided to take a step back from being a senior royal
01:45and move to America again with her husband Prince Harry.
01:54Kate, on the other hand, is more traditional. She's always poised and polished and takes her
02:00royal responsibilities very seriously. She's also a great mom and loves working with charities.
02:07The media definitely compares Meghan and Kate a lot and make it all seem like there's one big feud
02:15that will never end between them. Now there may be some truth to that, but the reality is we may
02:22never necessarily know what's going on between them, whether or not they sort of patched up
02:29their relationship or even decided to agree to disagree in an amicable way. Either way,
02:35Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton are both contributing to the evolution of the British
02:40monarchy in their own unique ways. But most people just say, well, Kate, she doesn't cause a fuss.
02:49She does what she does. She does it well. And they prefer her style over Meghan Markle's style of
02:55things. Buckingham Palace has always had this unwritten rule of mom's the word when it comes
03:02to personal stuff. They've kept their lips sealed to protect their privacy and keep the monarchy
03:08looking squeaky clean. But Meghan Markle came along and threw a wrench in the works with her
03:14interviews and public statements, especially when she started spilling the tea of royal family
03:20matters. Some folks think she's airing dirty laundry in public and it's not doing the monarchy
03:33any favors. On the flip side, Kate Middleton has been sticking to the mom's the word approach,
03:39which means that Meghan's side of the story is the only one we're hearing. And it's like a one
03:46sided conversation. And it's starting to affect the public's opinion of Meghan Markle. As a matter
03:52of fact, it has greatly affected it already. Now, with the rest of the royal family keeping quiet
03:58about a lot of personal stuff, Meghan's version of events is taking center stage. And it's
04:06definitely affecting how people view the whole situation with her and Harry leaving the British
04:12royal family as senior royals. It's definitely a messy situation and it'll be interesting to see
04:17how this plays out in the long run. Now, the whole Meghan Markle and Prince Harry thing has caused
04:23quite a lot of controversy in the world and also within the royal family. Because it's not just
04:29Meghan Markle saying these things, but also Prince Harry. He's also written a book about many
04:35private and personal things that happened during his time growing up as a royal. So there's
04:41definitely a lot of mistrust and division going on. And it's really, really affecting Harry's image
04:48as well. Some people look at it like Meghan is being totally disloyal, especially to Kate, who's
04:55always kept her mouth quiet and has followed the royal rules. And then there's a whole public
05:00opinion thing. Like half the people are all for Meghan speaking her mind, while the other half
05:05are criticizing her for breaking royal protocol. So it's become huge debate online and there's a
05:13lot of people picking sides here. I actually think that there's more people that have chosen the side
05:18against Meghan Markle in this instance. But again, I don't have the numbers to support that as a fact.
05:25There was also that Oprah interview where Meghan Markle dropped some bombshells about Kate
05:30Middleton making her cry before her wedding and the royal family not giving her any support
05:36for her mental well-being. And that caused a huge uproar all over the world. It made me cry
05:44and it really hurt my feelings. Of course, there was that Netflix docu-series Harry & Meghan that
05:49came out and gave us even more details about the relationship between Meghan, Harry, Kate,
05:55William, as well as other members of the royal family. There was a war against Meghan to suit
06:01other people's genders. And these revelations made people talk and debate even more. And everyone
06:06seemed to have an opinion about this. Now, when it comes to Kate and her journey in the British
06:12monarchy, it has definitely been a wild ride. And I'm sure it has had a lot of bumps. And some bumps
06:19we probably aren't even aware of. But it's marked by two major things. Being there for a long time
06:27and feeling like you know her. So this is how Kate Middleton kind of comes across to people.
06:33People really feel like they connect with her. Because Kate has been a royal for quite a while
06:38now. And that's given people a lot of time to watch her grow from a regular girl to a big shot
06:45royal pretty much. And because she's been around for so long, she's become like a familiar face to
06:53the people of Britain as well as to the rest of the world. Being a royal for a long time has
06:58definitely shaped how people see Kate. Ever since she married Prince Harry back in 2011, she's been
07:04doing all the royal stuff. You know, going to events, helping out with charities, and doing
07:09what royals do. And she's been doing all of it without criticizing the royal family or complaining
07:16publicly. Which has made a lot of people think that she's definitely dedicated to being a royal.
07:23And she respects the institution. Plus she always meets expectations, which has earned her a lot of
07:29respect and admiration from the public. Over the years, we've come to know Kate as somebody who's
07:36kind, caring, and as down-to-earth as one could be. She's so engaged, isn't she? She's really
07:45looking at everything. She's not afraid to show her true self. And she can connect with people
07:51on a very personal level, which has made her really popular. And when she shares things about
07:56her personal life, like how it's like for her to be a mom, it makes the monarchy seem more human
08:03and relatable to the public. So Kate's longevity as a royal, as well as her familiarity to the
08:11public, have really helped her build a strong bond with not just the people of Britain, but
08:17around the world as well. She's seen as a role model by many people. How she balances her royal
08:23duties with her personal life, as well as all the challenges that she's been dealing with recently.
08:30Some reports even refer to Kate Middleton's Britishness as something that makes her more
08:37appealing because she's closer to the royal family customs and traditions, rather than Meghan Markle,
08:44who is American, who was completely not accustomed at all. Now at first, it seemed like the world did
08:51accept Meghan Markle with open arms, becoming a royal. And people loved her. I remember following
08:57the news and people had so much good things to say. You know, even the people of Britain, they
09:03really loved Meghan. And then all of a sudden, things changed because it just seemed like Meghan
09:09wasn't really open to adapting to the ways of the British people, as well as the ways of the
09:16British royal family. Meghan Markle is being accused of making huge demands to compete with
09:21Kate Middleton. These accusations are wild, guys. Let's get into it. And that was a very clear and
09:28real and frightening, constant thought. Meghan has been accused of making demands to get better
09:34accommodation when she first relocated to the UK to live with Harry. Royal expert Kinsey
09:39Schofield told GB News that Meghan asked if they could live in Windsor Castle, which is where they
09:43had their wedding reception after they exchanged vows. Meghan was told why she wouldn't be allowed
09:48to live in Windsor Castle and was warned the couple's privacy would be intruded upon as there
09:52are numerous public tours of the castle during that year. For me, it's very important to, well,
09:57meeting with the right organizations behind the scenes quietly. However, Kinsley claimed Meghan's
10:01fixation on securing suites within the huge castle came from her rivalry with Kate Middleton, who
10:07lived in a lavish apartment with Prince William and their children in Kensington Palace, and she
10:11wanted something of similar value. William and Kate were given the apartment by the Queen as a
10:16present in 2011, and the massive living quarters was spread over four floors and featured over 20
10:22rooms, including three kitchens and nine rooms for members of staff, including nannies for their
10:28three children. The apartment underwent an extensive renovation before they moved in,
10:32and also includes two nurseries for their kids, as well as a private gym and elevator.
10:36Talk about luxury. This apparently bothered Meghan so much,
10:40she obsessed about getting something similar. Yeah, just, um, I guess we wait a couple months.
10:45Harry and Meghan moved into Nottingham Cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace after Prince
10:50Harry popped the question in 2017, and Meghan relocated to the UK permanently ahead of their
10:55wedding. The humble cottage was what Harry dubbed his starter home, but the two-bedroom property,
11:00which had a tiny garden, wasn't substantial enough for the couple. Harry and Meghan discussed
11:04living in the cottage in their Netflix docuseries, as Meghan confessed she thought they would be
11:09living in something more regal after getting engaged. Our security was being pulled, everyone
11:13in the world knew where we were. I said we need to get out of here. As far as people were concerned,
11:18we were living in a palace and we were in a cottage, he said during one episode. Kensington
11:23Palace sounds very regal, of course it does, it says palace in the name, but Nottingham Cottage
11:27was so small, Meghan added. Since all of this was said, Meghan has been making all types of
11:32demands to try to match up to Kate Middleton and Prince William. Author Omid Scobie writes that
11:36Kate and Meghan had little in common, but the rift between Prince Harry and Prince William
11:40didn't help in the early stages of their relationship. Omid Scobie also quoted an
11:45endgame for Meghan, who found much of her time as a working royal a lonely and isolated experience.
11:49There was a hope that Kate would be someone she could at least turn to for an encouraging word
11:53during her lowest points, which chronicles both the breakdown in the royal family and the weakening
11:58of the modern monarchy. They were both once outsiders, middle-class women brought into the
12:02house of Windsor for unimaginably different lives. Kate, however, was uninterested in forming this
12:07kind of bond with Meghan, he writes. Omid Scobie, who has covered the royal family for more than a
12:11decade, writes an endgame that a source said Kate can be cold if she doesn't like someone and wasn't
12:15a fan of Meghan. You'll often hear people say, well you're helping women find their voices,
12:20and I fundamentally disagree with that. And you said yes, obviously. Of course, yes.
12:24Awkward details about Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton's relationship. The wedding of Harry
12:30and Meghan in 2018 was undeniably a grand spectacle, purportedly costing an astronomical $45 million.
12:45A sum which reportedly surpassed the budget for Kate Middleton's own wedding to Prince William
12:50by a staggering $10 million. This apparent disparity in expenditure allegedly stirred
12:57feelings of discontent within the Duchess of Cambridge. Insiders claim that Kate found the
13:02financial discrepancy distressing and felt a sense of envy towards the extravagance
13:07of Harry and Meghan's wedding in comparison to her own. These rumors suggesting a rivalry between
13:16the Duchesses, fueled by Kate's supposed resentment of Meghan's entrance into the royal spotlight,
13:22have been circulating since before the matrimonial event. However, it's worth noting that these
13:26allegations regarding Kate's feelings towards her sister-in-law remain unconfirmed speculation.
13:38The relationship between Kate and Meghan has been subject to intense scrutiny since the latter
13:42joined the royal family. Rumors of a feud between the two women have circulated in the media with
13:47some even speculating that they do not get along at all. While the tabloids love to pit Kate
13:52Middleton and Meghan Markle against one another, they're both valued members of the royal family.
13:56While these rumors have never been officially confirmed, it is no secret that joining the
14:00royal family can be a daunting and challenging experience. Both Kate and Meghan have had to
14:06navigate the intense scrutiny of the media, public expectations, and their new role as Duchesses.
14:13It is therefore understandable that there may be some tension between them at times,
14:20but ultimately they are both committed to representing the royal family and supporting
14:24their respective husbands in their duties. Despite any potential differences or disagreements,
14:29Kate and Meghan have been seen attending various events together and appearing to get along well
14:34in public. They have also shown support for each other, with Kate reportedly giving advice to Meghan
14:39on navigating royal life and the media's attention. The two women also share similar
14:44philanthropic interests, with both actively involved in charitable work. Before the royal
14:48transitions, the life trajectories of Middleton and Markle were distinctly different. Middleton,
14:53who was born and raised in England, comes from a family that had connections to the British royal
14:57family even before her relationship with Prince William. Conversely, Markle, a native of LA,
15:03led a very different life as a successful actress, particularly known for her role in
15:08the claimed TV series, Suits. Prior to her royal journey, Middleton was engaged in her family's
15:13business known as Party Pieces. The Queen appears to have formed a particular fondness in the
15:19ongoing royal dynamics. Sources suggest that the late Queen Elizabeth had developed a remarkably
15:25close bond with Markle, a closeness that extends beyond her relationship with Middleton. Since
15:30Meghan and Harry's wedding, the Queen's bond with Meghan had significantly deepened, shared an
15:35insider. The Queen has spent quality time getting to know Harry's spouse and finds her absolutely
15:40delightful. She believes Meghan embodies the future of the monarchy, being smitten by her warmth,
15:44intellect, and witty humour, the informant elaborated. On the contrary, the Duchess of
15:48Cambridge reportedly holds a distinctly different rapport with the Queen in comparison to Markle.
15:54The relationship between Kate and Elizabeth is rather formal, the source pointed out. Kate
15:58appears more restrained and rigid in the Queen's company, unlike Meghan who remains authentic and
16:02doesn't get overly worried if she slips up on royal protocol. It's been reported that Middleton
16:07feels somewhat aggrieved that her fellow Duchess has formed a stronger bond with the Queen,
16:12leading to feelings of exclusion. The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, remains unwilling to
16:18forgive or forget what she views as the ultimate betrayal by Meghan Markle. Since the Duke and
16:25Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, had their revealing interview with Oprah in 2021, Kate
16:31Middleton has not been able to find it in her heart to forgive Meghan Markle for the damage that
16:38she caused. And it seems that this stance is unlikely to change in the near future, as indicated
16:44by a source from OK Magazine. And this is what the insider had to say. Kate has drawn a hard line in
16:50the sand. She's not changing her mind about them. They never apologize for their lies, but it's
16:56harder for William because Harry is his brother. It's a horrible situation all around. And yeah,
17:03of course, William and Harry grew up together. There is a closer bond than Meghan would have
17:08with Kate because they're just sisters-in-law, and they recently met. Another thing to note is
17:13that according to the insider, Prince William's efforts to extend an olive branch to Harry
17:19sparked a whole lot of emotions in Kate, leading to a heated disagreement with Prince William.
17:37Kate feels that Harry, and especially Meghan, have done enough damage to the royal family,
17:42and will do even more damage if they're let back in. In recent developments, there have been
17:48reports suggesting that Kate has been reaching out to Prince Harry, even at late hours in the
17:54night, hoping to mend the strained relationship that he has with the rest of the royal family.
18:06So she's kind of going out of her way, taking it upon herself to kind of fix things happening in
18:11the family. One source told Closer Weekly in the UK that, and I quote,
18:17Kate has been in touch with Harry to tell him to keep his chin up and not worry too much about
18:24these temporary setbacks. She feels very sorry for him right now. Seeing him go through all
18:30these setbacks is very difficult to witness, and it tugs at her heartstrings, especially as his
18:36court trial is taking place so close to their home. Yeah, it has been really tough for Prince
18:43Harry. The connection between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family got worse when Harry
18:48published his revealing memoir Spare in January of 2023. And in his book, he called his older
18:55brother Prince William his arch nemesis. He killed 25 Taliban fighters, snorted cocaine as a teen,
19:02and called his brother his arch nemesis. And talked about how Meghan was treated by
19:07the royal family. There has always been this competition. He also shared private information
19:13about a disagreement between Meghan and Kate, and this happened during a wedding dress fitting.
19:19So it's no surprise that Harry and Prince William, they have a strained relationship there,
19:25because when somebody exposes private information like that publicly, how are you going to feel
19:31about it? It also doesn't seem like Kate Middleton is a big fan of Prince Harry, but for the sake of
19:37her husband Prince William, well, Harry is his brother, so she's really working to try to make
19:43sure that they are on the same wavelength, you know, that they're reconnected again as brothers.
19:50And, you know, she also knew Harry a lot longer than Meghan. So there's no surprise that Kate
19:56Middleton isn't really that attached to Meghan Markle and what really happens with her. But yeah,
20:02she's just really trying to do her best, because it is a sticky situation here. Like, your husband
20:07is the Prince of Wales, and his brother, the Duke of Sussex, you're trying to fix that. And at the
20:13same time, you aren't really cool with your brother-in-law's wife, your sister-in-law's,
20:19so you're trying to still work and fix that relationship. Yeah, I couldn't imagine what it
20:23would be like in Kate's brain right now, just trying to mend all of these broken relationships
20:29here and just trying to make things work. The campaign is fundamentally about shining a
20:34spotlight on the critical importance of early childhood. Well, if that's a byproduct of what's
20:38going on, how jolly convenient. That would be nice, wouldn't it? It's being said that Kate Middleton
20:43is making Meghan Markle less noticeable and less significant, less important within the royal
20:48family. Like, she's just completely outshining Meghan right now. What expert Nicholas Owens,
20:53he used strong words while talking about the inner workings of the royals. But Nicholas Owens also
20:59praised Kate Middleton for becoming more confident and comfortable in her role in the royal family
21:05after just five months. Kate and Prince William, as a matter of fact, recently they had a significant
21:10trip to Cornwall, and they visited the National Maritime Museum, and even rode on an old boat
21:17from the 1940s. And as you could imagine, people, of course, were really excited to see them, and they
21:23lined the streets just to catch a glimpse of them. So, the expert believes that Kate Middleton is
21:29really liked by the public and that her popularity is 100% solid. Nicholas Owens, he specifically said
21:36this. She's really coming to her own. Her popularity is absolutely assured. We're talking about Kate,
21:40we're talking about the Princess of Wales. She's got new advisors around her, particularly one lady.
21:45A real toughie is a sort of one of her main assistants. Now, Nicholas Owens, he also went on
21:53to say this. Beyond the exterior that we all see, the smiling face, the easy way with crowds, the
21:58wonderful way Kate has with children, there is also some steel going on there. The determination to
22:03sort of set herself out a role, rather, as you say, but is she seeing off Meghan in the process?
22:11Well, if that's a byproduct of what's going on, how jolly convenient. That would be nice,
22:16wouldn't it? Pushing Meghan further and further into the background. And Kate Middleton even
22:21hired somebody who was an expert in branding and marketing to work as her private secretary. Also,
22:26someone close to the royals, they said that this choice is a clear sign that Kate is trying to
22:32change how she presents herself to the public. And this is what they had to say. What the Princess
22:37of Wales is doing is a very clear sign that she is redefining herself now that she has this new
22:43role. They also explained that Kate has a greater platform now and must have the right team to
22:50deliver for her. In the beginning of 2023, Kate shared a special look into her life by starting
22:56a new Instagram account. And she created this new account to showcase the important work that she
23:02does for raising awareness about early childhood. And when she launched the account, Kate posted a
23:08picture of herself as a baby on her official Instagram account. And this really connected
23:14with people. The picture shows a young Kate reaching out to her father, Michael Middleton,
23:19who is holding her. And she encouraged everyone to have conversations with their loved ones.
23:25This was all part of her campaign called Shaping Us. This campaign, in particular,
23:30aims to help people see the importance that the early years of a child's life is when it comes
23:37to shaping them for their future. The campaign is fundamentally about shining a spotlight on
23:41the critical importance of early childhood and how it shapes the adults we become. So the work
23:45that Kate Middleton is doing right now is really connecting with people. It's really making a
23:51difference and it's having a positive impact. This is why it is essential. And Kate, she's constantly
23:58working to get better, to have her message be received better, to present herself better in
24:04the public eye, to connect with more and more and more people. And with her doing this and stepping
24:10into her new role as the future queen, right, it's just kind of brushing Meghan Markle aside. And
24:18people are saying that, yeah, Kate is just outshining Meghan right now. Like it's completely
24:23night and day.
