The royal family has been at the center of global attention in recent weeks following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
Amidst surprise reunions, solemn moments, and controversial events, all eyes have turned to Camilla, the Queen consort, and Meghan Markle, who have been making headlines for very different reasons.
According to royal expert Kristen Mines a, the British press has been treating Camilla with great respect while portraying Meghan as the villain of the moment.
Mines a noted that the media often likes to pick favorites and villains, and in this case, Meghan has found herself in the crosshairs of negative coverage.
Camilla, who faced intense scrutiny in the 90s due to her affair with Prince Charles, endured years of harsh criticism from the tabloids.
However, as time passed and Camilla was reintroduced into royal life, the narrative around her shifted.
She is now recognized for her dedication to royal duties and her contributions to the crown.
In stark contrast, Meghan Markle has faced a barrage of negative headlines in the British tabloids in recent weeks.
While Camilla has been praised as down-to-earth and a secret weapon for the royals, Meghan has been portrayed as causing distress to the Queen, being uninvited to royal events, and labeled as a horrible human by some.
A new book has shed light on the Queen’s true feelings regarding Prince Harry and Meghan’s decision to step back from their senior royal roles.
The late monarch reportedly confided in a close friend that she was deeply hurt by the couple’s departure and expressed exhaustion over the situation.
Despite the rift, King Charles III has maintained his unconditional love for Harry and expressed a desire to play an active role in the lives of his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet.
As Prince Harry and Meghan prepare to return to the US, the aftermath of their departure continues to reverberate within the royal family.
The drama surrounding the royal rift serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges faced by one of the world’s most famous dynasties.
