A former royal servant has disclosed how the late Queen worked to maintain peace within the Royal Family, particularly between Princess Kate and Meghan Markle.
When Meghan and Harry’s relationship became public, Kate and Prince William embraced Meghan warmly, and fans hoped for a lasting bond. The quartet, known as the Fab Four, was adored by supporters during joint appearances.
Despite public appearances, Harry’s memoir, Spare, reveals tensions between Meghan and Kate. The book details instances of disagreements, including a dispute over bridesmaid dresses before the wedding that reportedly brought Meghan to tears, and an incident where Kate showed disapproval when Meghan borrowed her lipgloss.
Former royal butler Grant Harrold highlighted the late Queen’s dedication to fostering harmony within the Royal Family. He stated that if she sensed any discord, especially between Kate and Meghan, she would intervene discreetly to ease tensions.
Harrold further remarked: “The late Queen’s primary focus was on upholding a united front, particularly among the younger generation of royals.”
As Prince Harry and Meghan’s relationship progressed, potential shifts in dynamics behind the scenes were suggested. The Queen would have been attentive to any signs of strain and would have taken steps to address them if necessary, according to reports from the Express.
In 2018, reports emerged of a tense exchange before Meghan and Harry’s wedding, where Kate was allegedly upset by Meghan regarding Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress. However, during her interview with Oprah Winfrey years later, Meghan disputed this account, claiming that Kate had apologized and taken accountability for the situation.
