Meghan Markle reportedly feels like there are different rules for her and Kate Middleton, claims source
Prince William and Kate Middleton recently shared an 11th birthday portrait of daughter Princess Charlotte on social media, along with a video of the tween cuddling the family’s Cocker Spaniels and playing on the beach. However, with this move, Middleton has seemingly reopened wounds for Meghan Markle, leaving her fuming as she feels “there’s one set of rules for William and Kate and another for [her and Prince Harry].” A source told RadarOnline, “All the resentment over the double standard is bubbling up again.”
The source revealed that the reason behind Markle’s “resentment” is due to the harsh criticism she faces for posting the snaps of her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, on an online platform. The Duchess of Sussex recently shared an Instagram post for her son, Prince Archie, on the occasion of his 7th birthday on May 6, showing him as a newborn lying on his father’s chest. The carousel also included a second snapshot, showing him and his sister from behind.
But instead of delighting the royal watchers, as was expected, Markle’s post sparked criticism online. Commenters accused the Sussexes of “trying to stay relevant” and also of “pimping their children to stay in [the] media spotlight.”
Looking at the reaction, the source said that although the Waleses are also “very clearly using their children as part of the royal image and the branding of the family,” the former actress is being “criticized for even including the smallest glimpse of Archie and Lilibet.” “She feels like she’s constantly being judged by a completely different rulebook, and no matter what she does, Kate will be the golden girl and she will be the villain,” the source revealed.
