Anne Hathaway, known for her roles in Hollywood, has inadvertently fueled comparisons between Princess Kate and Meghan Markle, expressing her admiration for the former while maintaining silence on the latter.
Despite playing an heir to the throne in "The Princess Diaries," Hathaway has openly praised Catherine, the Princess of Wales, citing her as an elegant role model.
In a 2014 appearance on Good Morning America, Hathaway gushed about Kate Middleton, acknowledging her as a lovely and charming figure who made her very happy.
She admitted being enchanted by Kate and William's wedding, confessing her initial cynicism had transformed into genuine admiration. Hathaway continued to express her obsession with Kate Middleton in subsequent years, applauding her actions and the couple's parenting approach.
During an appearance on The View, Hathaway shared how an article about Prince William and Catherine's parenting techniques influenced her own approach with her son, Jonathan Rosebank Schulman. The actress praised the royal couple for interacting with their children at eye level, a method she adopted and claimed made a positive difference in her communication with her son.
However, Hathaway's praise and admiration for Princess Kate stand in contrast to her silence regarding Meghan Markle. Despite Meghan's return to the US and anticipation of the Sussexes making appearances in Hollywood, Hathaway has not offered any public acknowledgment or positive commentary on the Duchess.
Reports suggest that Meghan is displeased with the situation, perceiving it as a snub. As the future king and queen, Prince William and Catherine gain political influence, the contrast between the two royal couples becomes apparent. While the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are welcomed on the red carpet and engage in political meetings, Meghan and Harry face setbacks, such as the denial of using Air Force One for the Queen's funeral trip.
The Sussexes' Hollywood influence is facing uncertainty, marked by the loss of a Spotify partnership and a lack of new projects in the pipeline. Their absence from Emmy nominations adds to the challenges they face, highlighting a potential decline in their standing in Hollywood. As Prince and Princess of Wales make strides politically, the future remains uncertain for Meghan and Harry in the competitive world of entertainment.
