The Harry & Meghan Netflix documentary has grabbed the attention of supporters and naysayers alike. While many of us had watery eyes listening to the couple finally have used their own voice to tell a story. Many have dug up pieces of evidence to back their claims that Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have told countless lies in order to gain public sympathy.

Furthermore one of the most controversial bits from the documentary consisted of Meghan Markle hinting Kate Middleton was ‘formal’ with her. And claimed that she was a ‘hugger’. However, according to many pictures and claims, the ‘has-been’ royal is not the only one in the British Royal family who is a hugger.

Meghan Markle’s claims were rebutted by a friend of Kate Middleton

The Suits actor said “Like I was a hugger, always been a hugger. I didn’t realize that that is really jarring for a lot of Brits.” The actress turned Duchess claimed that she struggled to cope with the fact that the Royal family was just as formal behind closed doors as it was in front of the television. To back it up, she recalled her first time meeting Kate Middleton and Prince William and how she was in casual clothing and even barefoot. But a friend of the Princess of Wales has said that Kate Middleton prefers a “big hug and kiss” as her way of greeting.

“She is warm and friendly and greets everyone with a big hug and kiss,” said the friend. Kate Middleton’s friend further added, “It comes naturally to her to be like that“.

Soon after Markle’s claimed that the family was ‘formal’ even behind closed doors, pictures of Kate Middleton hugging and being cheerful while greeting other people emerged on the Internet in a way to debunk her statement. Additionally, fans counted this as another lie to the ’30 lies’ that she said during the Opera interview.

However, it is very much likely that Meghan Markle was referring to the witchhunt against her and how the family didn’t stand by her side. This aligns well with Prince Harry’s claims of how the institution was not ready to protect him but wouldn’t mind lying for the first in line to the throne. The Netflix documentary brings the couple themselves at the helm of affairs, and hence every claim they make becomes a spectacle at the ‘debunking’ carnival.
