Days later, Markle posted about her kids to celebrate Prince Archie‘s seventh birthday. However, this action drew trolling online. Now, according to a source, the Duchess of Sussex doesn’t like the difference in treatment between her and her sister-in-law.
Meghan Markle feels ‘she’s being judged by a completely different rulebook’ than Kate Middleton, per source
According to Star’s source, Meghan Markle thinks she is judged differently from Kate Middleton. Royal watchers reportedly loved the pictures of Middleton’s kids, but the Duke and Duchess of Sussex weren’t pleased. The source told the outlet that Prince Harry and Markle feel “there’s one set of rules for William and Kate and another for them.” They added, “All the resentment over the double standard is bubbling up again.”
Markle and Harry were heavily criticized for the former’s post about her son’s birthday after she shared pictures of their kids. The source shared that Prince William and Middleton “are very clearly using their children as part of the royal image and the branding of the family.” However, only “Meghan’s been criticized for even including the smallest glimpse of Archie and Lilibet.” The source continued that the “Suits” alum “feels like she’s constantly being judged by a completely different rulebook.”
Markle believes “no matter what she does, Kate will be the golden girl, and she will be the villain.” As per the source, Markle thinks she entered royal life already facing a tough battle. “Kate’s the quintessential Brit who’s terribly reserved and somewhat inward with her emotions,” the source said. On the other hand, Markle “speaks her mind.” Moreover, she “is not afraid to amend and improve the status quo.”
The source stated once thought she and her sister-in-law could become ““a positive and powerful force for change.” However, things reportedly worsened with Harry and William’s relationship crumbling while the Sussexes believed “they were being treated unfairly.” The insider continued, “Kate was always coloring inside the lines. She wasn’t willing to risk anything that could be perceived as breaking royal protocol.”
