Prince Harry reveals how Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton were presented in the media 

Months before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s pregnancy announcement, Kate Middleton gave birth to her third child, Prince Louis. However, Markle was brutally slammed for the same things that the Princess of Wales was appreciated for during her pregnancy. Prince Harry shared the contrasting headlines for the two royal daughters-in-law while calling out the media. 

Speaking about the contrasting reporting, Prince Harry added, “This is how it is covered for her (Meghan). This is how it is covered for her (Kate). If you do not see the difference and understand why it is being reported that way, then I can’t help you.”

They shared snippets of Middleton being praised for having avocado while Markle being slammed for eating the same fruit. Prince Harry also discussed how his wife was torn apart for touching her bump frequently. The Sussexes have shown many examples in the docuseries. 

They also talked about the Duchess inviting criticism for breaking the royal rules by wearing an off-shoulder gown and informal shoes. However, the Princess of Wales was lauded for wearing a one-shoulder elegant gown and relaxed shoes.
