Regardless of the most devastating blows on the royal family of the British Crown, the members have always followed a strict protocol of “never complain, never explain.” Behind the flashy smiles and contentious giggles, the new-age royals have always been grinding their teeth, mouthing against each other. Not us, but the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle confessed to such instances on her own. One of the most stirring bits of the infamous Oprah Winfrey interview was the facade that Princess Kate Middleton and Duchess Meghan Markle put up before a crowd of hundreds. 

The instance dates back to the year 2019, when Markle was in the nascent stages of getting accustomed to the royal family and their ways. It was Wimbledon season in the English nation and both the royal women were out in the stands taking delight in the tennis championship. Although the two had appeared in the same tournament the year before, the 2019 Wimbledon had witnessed the brewing tensions behind the pretty smiles of the royals. 

Talking about the same in the earth-shattering Oprah Winfrey bombshell, the Duchess brushed on her crumbling relationship with her sister-in-law. Winfrey specially questioned Markle about the event, as the two were being unusually friendly before the masses. Proving her speculations correctly, Markle revealed that through her understanding and experience of the past four years, “it’s nothing what it looks like.” The royal family had advised her on how things should look outside The Firm, revealed the Duchess. 

Nonetheless, the relationship between the two has been one of utter bitterness and resentment.

Unraveling more about the facade of bond, Prince Harry even addressed claims stating, “Kate got rolling things straightway.” The Duchess had apparently labeled the Princess as a “baby brain.“ In return for the same, Middleton lashed out, stating the Duchess was no one to speak about her hormones. Nevertheless, these are just the tip of the iceberg, if we could say.
