Recent reports indicate that Meghan Markle’s fondness for hugging has caused tension between Prince William and Prince Harry. Initially, the royal family welcomed Markle with open arms, appreciating her vibrant presence as noted by The London Times. However, as her affection became more obvious, it reportedly created discomfort, especially with William, Kate, and Charles, who began reacting negatively to her hugs. Speculation grew around Markle’s friendly behavior, leading to gossip that suggested she might have been flirting with William. This situation only fueled the already existing rift between the brothers, bringing “over-friendliness” into the spotlight as yet another criticism of the royal family.
Markle didn’t understand the backlash
According to The London Times, Markle felt perplexed by the royal family’s reserved demeanor and was hurt by their rejection of her affectionate nature. She once questioned why William and Charles were always so serious, hinting at her confusion over their formalities. In a light-hearted manner, she also joked about the differences between William and Harry, remarking that Harry was down-to-earth. However, insights from a former Kensington Palace maid suggest that Markle may have unwittingly contributed to the discord by perceiving she needed to defend Harry against perceived slight. This perspective adds an intriguing layer to the narrative surrounding their relationships, especially as Harry’s experiences post-marriage unfolded.
