Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, two prominent figures in the royal family, are known for their contrasting approaches to royal life.
Royal author Tom Bower, in his book “Revenge, Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors,” highlighted the differences in their strategies.
While Kate took a patient approach, spending over a decade learning the royal ropes, Meghan was eager to jump into her royal duties without fully understanding the royal family’s operations.
Andrew Morton, another royal author, emphasized the importance of time in mastering the intricacies of royal life.
Kate Middleton exemplified this by dedicating herself to learning about the royal family and fulfilling her duties.
On the other hand, Meghan Markle was commended for her public speaking skills but criticized for not allowing enough time to adjust to her new role as a senior working royal.
As the Christmas season approaches, Prince William’s wife, Kate, is gearing up to host a Christmas Carol service on December 15th, honoring the late Queen.
However, Prince Harry and Meghan will once again be absent from the royal family’s festivities.
Despite hopes for reconciliation, their relationship with the royal family remains strained, leading them to share their Christmas plans on social media instead.
In a recent podcast episode of Archetypes, Meghan Markle addressed the challenges faced by ambitious women, including being labeled as difficult or unpleasant.
Referring to the nickname “Duchess Difficult,” Meghan hinted at the pain caused by such labels and shared her strategy of using it to propel herself forward in embracing a new chapter in her life.
Royal expert Victoria Arbiter noted that Meghan has been using the podcast platform to reshape the narrative surrounding her and Prince Harry’s departure from the royal family.
The nickname “Duchess Difficult” originated in 2018 amid allegations of Meghan’s demanding behavior towards royal aides.
Reports of early morning emails and staff members reduced to tears fueled speculation about her conduct, prompting an investigation into bullying claims by former aides.
Despite the denials from the Sussexes, the narrative around Meghan’s reputation continues to evolve through her podcast and public appearances.
While Kate Middleton prepares for a festive Christmas event, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry navigate a different path, choosing to distance themselves from the royal family’s holiday celebrations.
The contrast in their approaches to royal life and public perception underscores the complexities of navigating royal duties and personal ambitions.
As the holiday season unfolds, the dynamics within the royal family remain ever-changing, with each member carving out their unique roles and narratives in the public eye.
