Meghan Markle has been criticized for her alleged decision to tease Princess Kate with her latest update.
Some commentators and royal fans believe the return of the Princess of Wales puts the Duchess of Sussex under stress.
Meghan’s recent appearances and public announcements have sparked speculation about tensions between the royal wives, with some saying Meghan feels overshadowed by Kate’s inspiring return to the spotlight.
The former Hollywood actress’ recent move has also added fuel to the fire amid growing speculation.
The release of Meghan’s holiday special was shifted to closer to Kate’s annual Christmas carol concert.
According to reports, Meghan told the Fortune Most Political Women summit in Washington DC that her holiday special was going to be released in November. But later she pushed it back to December 3.
Some royal experts believe this was intentional, as future Queen Kate is hosting her annual Christmas event on December 5.
“I thought it was intentional because Catherine is having her annual Christmas event on December 5,” royal commentator Kinsey Schofield told TalkTV.
Host Mark Donal added: “So she moved her event to the same week. It’s scorched earth politics.”
Previously, the Duchess received criticism for announcing her acting comeback while Prince William was in Brazil for Earthshot Week, with some feeling it was poorly timed.
Her As always The brand’s products also arrived in a store for the first time at the same time, giving fans reason to speculate about the timing of its announcement.
The latest controversy arose following Meghan’s decision to highlight a Kate-related detail in her brand’s new promotional materials.
The duchess unveiled a Christmas 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 the Instagram images, the bookmark appears inside Charlie Mackesy’s bestselling book The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse.
The placement was quickly flagged by royal watchers as Mackesy worked closely with Catherine last year, creating bespoke illustrations for the order of service at Westminster Abbey for her annual carol concert.
In the promotional photos, the bookmark is on a page featuring the quote: “Always remember that you matter, that you are important and that you are loved and that you bring things to this world that no one else can.” »
Reacting to this, one commenter wrote on
Another added: “Of all the books in the entire world this is the one she has to use. Truly amazing.”
While others believe Meghan’s choice of book was a “very deliberate” reference to Catherine’s Christmas Carols. It appears like another discreet blow – another carefully placed dig. Kate’s fans think she’s trying to distract him.
