Kate Middleton seems to have it all; a beautiful wealthy life, three adorable children, and a prince for a husband! Undoubtedly, she would be a figure of envy for many ladies out there but did you know there may be something that causes envy in Kate’s heart as well? Who is this jealousy directed toward and where does it stem from?

The latest celebrity news and gossip sites suggest that Kate is envious of her sister-in-law Meghan Markle. But why? Let’s find out. And while we’re at it, let’s also explore some interesting moments of their lives that shed light on their relationship.

The Royal Ladies Have Different Backgrounds and Personalities

Friendships or relationships can arise from anything. We’ve seen people becoming friends in supermarkets, parks or even by the roadside. Basically, any factor can lead to the start of a new relationship. In this case, the factor that binds Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle is the fact that they're married to princes.

Despite the things they have in common, Kate and Meghan are two entirely different human beings. They have separate experiences and varying personalities. They’ve also been raised in families with dissimilar backgrounds. Most importantly, they are unalike as it pertains to certain values that they hold and what they believe is right from wrong.

Meghan Markle Has An Outgoing Personality

Meghan Markle was born in California to Thomas Markle and Doria Ragland. Her family had different racial backgrounds and they belonged to the middle class. While she belonged to an average income family, she still attended noteworthy private schools and received a good education.

Meghan became popular with her role as Rachel Zane on the TV show, Suits. She is a high-spirited person and an extrovert, using her personality and her experience in the entertainment industry to influence the media. Meghan is someone you will enjoy being around as she knows how to light up a room when she walks in.

Kate Middleton Has A Sensitive Nature

If reports from celebrities-galore.com are to be believed, Kate Middleton is the owner of a spectacular and graceful personality. She has a cordial nature and is quite sensitive. She is not only beautiful but also very talented. Kate has a creative mind and the drawing she did on Pippa Middleton’s wedding invitation is proof of that.

Several of her former associates have mentioned that Kate has always treated people nicely and has never shown off. A pub owner near the area she grew up has been quoted as saying that Kate Middleton is a very down-to-earth person and extremely normal, with no airs about her.

Kate Has Always Led A Privileged Life

Kate Middleton was born in England to Michael and Carole Middleton. She came from a wealthy background as her parents are successful business owners. On no account is Meghan’s background comparable to Kate’s. Kate’s family is not related to any royal or noble ancestry, however, she has still enjoyed a prestigious upbringing.

She went to highly qualified and popular schools and ever since she was a child she’s been growing up around people who are influential and distinguished. Nonetheless, even with all this exposure, Kate is an introvert. She has been known to often evade the press and media outlets.

Kate Is Admired for Her Genuine Personality

Kate is polite and kind by nature. She never tried to act fake and always treated people with humility. One of her best friends has been quoted as saying that she has never seen a woman like Kate; who is so hardworking and dedicated.

Kate is a perfectionist and has always performed her royal duties to her best ability. The same friend stated that Kate is also well-rounded and measured. It would not be wrong to say that she has a very commendable personality. She is not only a royal wife but also cares about the well-being of others.

Royal Life Comes Naturally To Kate

Living life when so many people are watching is not an easy task. However, Kate is a calm and intelligent woman who has always handled every situation in a professional manner. Being a royal wife, she has many duties and she’s always lived up to them well. It’s as if the royal life comes naturally to her.

Despite the paparazzi keeping constant tabs on her and her family’s life, Kate has continued to be a perfect high-profile wife that takes care of her high-profile family. She has kept her head high and her morale intact and that’s why she is a perfect role model for women.

Surprisingly, Kate Becomes A Little Nervous in the Crowd

According to reports, Kate Middleton is believed to be envious of Meghan Markle. One reason stated is that, although she has been a part of the royal family for many years, Kate is still nervous when she’s making highly public appearances, whereas Meghan seems to handle attention quite well.

It's simply impossible for Kate to go unnoticed at live events and functions. She is a public figure and whenever she makes an entry, in any event, everyone’s eyes are glued to her. She is photographed constantly, and due to this, she sometimes struggles with anxiety, even though she’s been receiving this type of attention ever since she got married.

Meghan, On the Other Hand, Handles Attention Well

In comparison to Kate, Meghan Markle is at ease when it comes to handling crowds. At public gatherings or events, when people try to catch a glimpse of Meghan or try to shake her hand, she welcomes it with confidence and handles it with grace.

This charm and confidence that Meghan has, has been noted as the reason for Kate’s envy. Naturally, when your sister-in-law is so at ease in front of everyone, especially when she recently joined the family that you've been apart of for 8 years, jealousy may just rear its ugly head.

Their First Public Meeting Happened in 2018

The first time the two ladies appeared together in public was in 2018. The Duchess of Cambridge and her husband met Meghan at a royal function in February 2018. Meghan was in the presence of husband-to-be, Prince Harry. It was an event for the Royal Foundation Forum at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham.

Meghan and Kate were part of a panel at the event. The Royal Foundation Forum was set up by Prince William and Prince Harry to pursue their passion for charity and philanthropy. That was the first public appearance of Prince Harry’s future wife and the complete royal family together.

At Meghan’s Wedding, Kate Watched the Royal Kids

Despite the claims of there being envy present in their relationship, Kate's help was sought to monitor the flower girls and page boys at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding. This happened when the kids were behaving mischievously at the rehearsals and someone trusty was needed to mind them.

Kate is an expert in such matters; she did a good job and the result was seen at the ceremony. Everything went down perfectly. She worked with Meghan Markle's best friend Jessica Mulroney to keep things in order. Jessica and Kate’s children participated in the wedding as well.

Thereafter, They Attended Wimbledon Together

Forcing the media to consider changing its narrative about their relationship, Meghan and Kate were seen in Centre Court enjoying a live Wimbledon match. Kate was there to watch Serena Williams who happens to be Meghan Markle’s good friend.

The ladies were photographed a lot that day. Most photos that were taken showed them enjoying their time together. It seemed they were relishing the day and each other's company as pure joy could be seen on their faces. Seems things are going good after all.

Kate and Meghan Were Both Present At Princess Eugene’s Wedding

Kate and Meghan met again at Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s marriage ceremony in October 2018. The ceremony took place at St George’s Chapel Windsor Castle. The royal family sat down at different locations in the chapel, away from each other.

Regardless, the ladies met before the ceremony started. They were seen chatting and laughing and their husbands were seen exchanging pleasantries as well. The royal family members bonding at the event was a sight to watch; while the kids were enjoying themselves, and the elders were having a grand time.

They Attended A Service At Westminster Abbey

Despite having differences in responsibilities and expectations, Meghan and Kate still relate to each other in some ways. There was an event held at Westminster Abbey that featured the two families. It was a service to mark the centenary of the Armistice. The princes and their wives along with other important personnel were at the event.

Although the event was a somber occasion, the duchesses were seen together with a smile on their faces. There was a lovely atmosphere between the two of them. They would be spotted talking and exchanging pleasantries even with the solemnity around. That says a lot about their relationship, doesn’t it?

They Were Seen Together Again At the Royal Air Force

The two women were at peace when they were at an event held at Buckingham Palace. The event was a flypast of the Royal Air Force aircrafts celebrating the centenary of the force’s creation. The women watched the event from the balcony of Buckingham Palace as they do on several special occasions.

They even cracked a joke in the presence of the princes. Prince William got the gist of the joke as he laughed at it but perhaps Prince Harry wasn't as amused. That could be the reason he’s looking a little confused in the picture.

The Royal Wives Looked Stunning At the Queen’s Birthday Celebration

It was at the Queen's birthday party that Meghan made her debut at the balcony of Buckingham Palace. It was a momentous event for her and in the history of the royal family. Being the first time she was at such a place, she felt uneasy at first but Duchess Kate was there to make her feel comfortable.

Kate Middleton made her balcony debut seven years before Meghan. It was just like a master teaching her student what to do. Trooping the Colour is the name of the event that is used to celebrate the birthday of the British sovereign. It is also the Queen's favorite event in her royal calendar.

Meghan First Appeared Alongside the Queen On Commonwealth Day, 2018

After the event of Trooping the Color, Meghan looked forward to many royal events. She got another chance and this time, it was a big outing for her. Meghan was with Queen Elizabeth II for Commonwealth Day at Westminster Abbey. That was her first time appearing with the Queen.

Commonwealth Day is an event to celebrate all the Commonwealth nations. It is supposed to be a somber event that witnesses special participation from the royal family. But even with the hectic schedule of the day, the Duchesses still stole some time to chat before they entered the Abbey.

Meghan Received Two Baby Showers; One From Kate

Meghan Markle's baby shower that took place in New York was not the only shower she would have. The shower was hosted by Serena Williams, Meghan’s close friend. During the event, news came out that a mini celebration would be held for Meghan in the United Kingdom too.

Rumor mills were abuzz with the hush-hush details about the planned event, and then, sources confirmed what everyone had been waiting for; the name of the host of the second shower. It was later revealed that Meghan's United Kingdom mini-celebration was to be hosted by Duchess Kate Middleton.

The Baby Shower Hosted by Kate Was A Private Affair

A royal insider revealed that Kate Middleton would be hosting a private baby shower for Meghan and her associates and friends in the UK. When this news came out, all rumors about a fight brewing between the royal ladies were seemingly put to rest and people began commenting on how cordial they were with each other.

Reportedly, the event took place after the royal tour of Morocco by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and Prince William and Kate’s tour of Ireland. A witness claimed that Kate organized fun activities for the attendees. Overall, it sounded like an exciting event.

Kate Couldn’t Attend Meghan’s New York Baby Shower

Some important figures were absent from Meghan Markle’s baby shower that took place in New York. For instance,  Kate Middleton was a no-show at the event. However, Meghan’s mother and other close friends were there. The UK mini-celebration too demanded the presence of Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland. Later, the reason for Kate’s absence from the event was revealed.

It was because her children Prince George and Princess Charlotte were on half term at school, and so, Kate and her family decided to let off some steam in their Anmer Hall residence. Daily Mail reported that the Duchess was seen with her children swimming in the luxury hotel located in Norfolk.

Both Ladies Have Separate Roles in the Royal Family

Ever since their respective marriages, the public has been talking about both Meghan and Kate. People even thought that their roles in the royal family were the same. However, they have different requirements and responsibilities to abide by. While Meghan can bend the rules a bit, Kate doesn’t have the same liberty.

This is because Prince Harry isn’t straight in line to the throne, but Prince William is. Kate is, therefore, destined to be queen one day; so she must conduct herself very cautiously. Unlike Meghan, the Royal family expects many things from Kate. Whatever she does is closely monitored.

The Two Women Are Quite Cordial With Each Other

Although allegations of the slight envy on Kate’s part did spark the question of whether the two duchesses are friends with each other, the reality is that they are indeed quite comfy in each other’s presence and both enjoy the other's company. They are often seen exchanging smiles and laughs in public.

The rumor mills that were earlier abuzz with reports of strife between the two have also been silenced ever since the two royal wives have been spotted at events and galas laughing and talking away. Well, we’re glad everything’s happy-go-lucky in the royal family.

Kate and Meghan Always Greet Each Other Heartily

Sometimes we have to ignore the negative to keep our relationships stable. It’s the same case with Kate and Meghan. Both have been spotted greeting each other cordially on many occasions, but the best moment that caught our attention was at the Commonwealth Day service when Kate and Meghan greeted each other with a kiss on the cheek.

Meghan was pregnant at the time and Kate was excited, to say the least. Another heartwarming moment was when Meghan’s son, Archie, was born and Kate was the first to meet him. She also brought a cute surprise for the newborn and it was a wild animal stuffed toy. How sweet!

They Have One Thing in Common

Regardless of what brews between them, Kate and Meghan have one massive similarity. Both were born in "normal" families but today, both are royalty; thanks to their marriage to princes. It’s a huge change for both, but they seem to handle it with equal finesse and charm.

It’s no secret that being part of a royal family comes with its share of duties and attention. Both Kate and Meghan realize this and have adopted the lifestyle and its challenges with their heads held high. They’re constantly in the public eye and they know how to handle it.

Apart From That, They’re Entirely Different

If we keep the fact of their marriages aside, there isn’t much common ground between the two women. They come from different backgrounds and were raised in contrasting ways. Therefore, they are quite unlike each other. Their interests and personalities don’t match and that could have been a problem.

Luckily, it isn’t. Kate and Meghan have found it easy to gel with each other and became close friends. Although it's usually unlikely for two people so different to become such good friends, the two have found it in their hearts to bridge their life polarities and establish a cordial relationship for the sake of the whole family.

Kate and Prince William Met Archie Recently

A few weeks after Archie was brought into the world, he met Prince William and Duchess Kate. The meeting was at Prince Harry and Meghan’s home, Frogmore Cottage. Royal reporter, Rebecca English of Daily Mail confirmed the news on her Twitter profile. She tweeted that the meeting happened after Prince Harry returned from Oxford.

She also mentioned that the royal children weren’t with their parents, so it will be a little while before George, Charlotte, and Louis meet their new cousin. Reportedly, the three royal heirs are quite excited to meet their brother and look forward to playing with him.

Prince William and Kate Are Enthusiastic About Their Nephew

Kate Middleton was happy when she heard Meghan had given birth. A day after Archie came into the world, his aunt gave a heartwarming speech. She said that her children just had their birthdays and so she felt it was a special time to have a newborn in the family.

Agreeing to William’s statement, Kate confirmed that they looked forward to meeting the little one and finding out what his name was going to be. Then, being the generous lady that she is, she wished Prince Harry and Meghan all the best.

Meghan Plans On Bringing Her Son On A Trip To the U.S.

It has been reported that Meghan is planning to bring Archie to the U.S. on a long trip. News outlets have confirmed that once Archie has come of age, Meghan will take him to America to learn about the maternal side of his family and their traditions, in Meghan's home state, Los Angeles.

Meghan reportedly wants Archie to learn equally about his American and Royal ancestors. Everything will take place when Meghan feels it is the right time to take Archie on a plane. Quite an open-minded way of raising her royal child, if you ask us.

A Royal Insider Had This To Say About the Royal Family's Affairs

If royal expert Katie Nicholl is to be taken at her word, reports of a feud between the sisters-in-law are hugely blown out of proportion. She believes spreading news like this only leads to driving crazy traffic to online magazines and gossip blogs, but there’s little truth to the matter.

She also added that her sources have never mentioned any rift between the two royal women. While that’s true, Nicholl also says that one isolated incident probably is worth mentioning that could have led to some heat, and the sisters-in-law weren't the only ones involved.

There Seemed To Be Tension Amidst the Families

As reporter Katie Nicholl stated, she had spotted some tension between the royal family members. Citing their recent detachment as proof, she said she’d sensed something was off, not just between the duchesses but the dukes as well. As they say, little issues can escalate pretty quickly.

While she said there was evident tension, she also emphasized that at the edge of it all, things seemed pretty normal in the royal household. She said it was understandable that some things weren’t as they were supposed to be, but that overall, the royal family was holding things together.

Prince William Warned His Brother Against Marrying Too Soon

Amidst the false rumors of the royal wives drifting apart, news about the two princes also started floating around. Reports claimed that Prince William and Prince Harry don’t see eye to eye. This further added fuel to the whole “feud or no feud” situation.

Things got a bit serious when Katie Nicholl confirmed that things were indeed not that well between the two princes. According to her and other reporters, Prince William had warned his brother against marrying too soon and that had aggravated the younger prince. Even if that may be the case, what's a brotherly relationship without disagreements?

Thankfully, They Don’t Appear To Have Any Major Feud

It’s a known fact that the media sometimes blows things out of proportion. While Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have had a few ups and downs in their relationship, like the time when Kate broke down right before Harry and Meghan’s marriage ceremony the previous year, everything seems to be fine between the two.

They say that the best of friendships are sometimes untrue. Similarly, the “supposed” feud between the two duchesses is likely fake, created by the media alone and this is proven by the sightings of the two looking happy together in public.

The Two Ladies Have Reportedly Grown Close

Recently, joyful news erupted in the royal house as they welcomed a new member into the family; Harry and Meghan’s son! The newborn, Archie, has made the relationship stronger between the royal households. He's especially had a huge impact on the relationship between Kate and Meghan.

According to US Weekly, Meghan and Kate’s bond has increased via motherhood. A palace insider was quoted as saying that both women will be spending more time in each other's company and since the birth of Meghan's baby, they've been even closer. We love how these two women are proving the naysayers wrong!

The Families Might Become Even Closer in the Future

Right now, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle are both mothers, but if reports are to be believed, there's a low probability that motherhood will be enough to unite them. Presently, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge aren't residing in Kensington Palace. However, the mothers can still meet up, chat and learn from each other.

The meet-ups can be an avenue for the kids to bond and for them to share the joys of raising children. It will also benefit the relationship between the two royal families as the distance between both households is a contributing factor to the negative speculations.
