bitchy | Surprise, Princess Kate thought ‘difficult’ Duchess Meghan ‘had an agenda’

Russell Myers’ biography, William & Catherine: The Intimate Inside Story, just seems like a collection of the Prince and Princess of Wales’s greatest hits, all of the lies they’ve told over the years, with some new spin and backtracking. Well, Myers’ book has been widely excerpted in recent days, and wouldn’t you know, there are “new” details about how much Kate hated Meghan Markle. Royal biographers are still talking about sh-t that happened (or didn’t happen, in many such cases) eight to ten years ago. They’re still trying and failing to massage recent royal history into “and that’s why William & Kate had every right to be horrible to Harry & Meghan!” From the Mirror & People:

The Princess of Wales had less interest than Prince William in trying to stop the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from walking away from royal life, believing Prince Harry quitting his role was “inevitable”. Despite the Prince of Wales being intensely saddened at his younger brother’s decision to leave the royal family, the princess was less interested in attempting to persuade Harry and Meghan to stay, it can be revealed.

In the third part of our exclusive serialisation of the new tell-all biography William and Catherine: The Intimate Inside Story, by The Mirror’s royal editor Russell Myers, we reveal how Kate bore witness to the deterioration of William and Harry’s relationship and later believed the Sussexes were “not to be trusted” in the wake of their controversial Oprah Winfrey interview.

In an excerpt of Myers’ book published by The Mirror, the author detailed why “Catherine had less interest than her husband in trying to persuade Harry to stay in his current role.”

Myers explained, “She believed William and Harry’s fundamental differences as the ‘heir and the spare’ had created the inevitability of Harry wanting more from his role than being a bit-part player.” On the other hand, the excerpt noted that “William was intensely saddened at his brother’s decision to quit.”

“He and Harry had been drifting apart for years, but now he knew deep down that there would be no turning back,” Myers wrote. “Fond memories of their childhood, from helping each other through the tragedy of their mother’s death, to growing up in the public eye, were now tarnished by the division at the heart of the family.”

In further revelations,Kate eventually realised she “could do no more to bring the brothers together” – despite previously being a “voice of reason” throughout the disintegration of their relationship.

The first joint biography in more than a decade also reveals how at first, Kate had been willing to give Harry’s wife Meghan a chance when she was first introduced to her. But following Harry and Meghan’s wedding, she and William felt the Sussexes “had an agenda”, with their behaviour more than just being “difficult”.

There’s actually some dispute among both the Deranger camp and the Sussex Squad about what Prince William actually wanted circa 2019-20. As in, did he really want to see Harry and Meghan pushed out completely, or would William have preferred to have the Sussexes stay in the UK as his scapegoats? You could make arguments either way, and I think that probably reflects William’s mixed emotions as well. William thought Harry would always be around to take the blame and distract from William’s bullsh-t. But William was also instrumental in pushing out the Sussexes. And now they’re giving credit to Kate as well, making sure everyone knows that Kate wanted the Sussexes out of her sight. And sister-in-law Meghan is supposedly the “difficult” one, huh? The not-so-subtly coded racism never stops with Kate. This is, after all, the same woman who bullied a bride to tears and then lied about it for years.

: Britain’s Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex leave after attending the Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey in London, Monday, March 11, 2019. Commonwealth Day has a special significance this year, as 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of the modern Commonwealth – a global network of 53 countries and almost 2.4 billion people, a third of the world’s population, of whom 60 percent are under 30 years old.

Commonwealth Day has a special significance this year, as 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of the modern Commonwealth, with old ties and new links enabling cooperation towards social, political and economic development which is both inclusive and sustainable. The Commonwealth represents a global network of 53 countries and almost 2.4 billion people, a third of the worlds population, of whom 60 percent are under 30 years old. Each year the Commonwealth adopts a theme upon which the Service is based. This years theme A Connected Commonwealth speaks of the practical value and global engagement made possible as a result of cooperation between the culturally diverse and widely dispersed family of nations, who work together in friendship and goodwill. The Commonwealths governments, institutions and people connect at many levels, including through parliaments and universities. They work together to protect the natural environment and the ocean which connects many Commonwealth nations, shore to shore. Cooperation on trade encourages inclusive economic empowerment for all people – particularly women, youth and marginalised communities. The Commonwealths friendly sporting rivalry encourages people to participate in sport for development and peace.
