A recent report suggests that Meghan Markle harbors lingering bitterness over the fact that Catherine, the Princess of Wales, will be the future Queen of England, not her.
Despite Meghan's marriage to Prince Harry, who has a slim chance of ascending the throne, she seemingly believed she would play a more prominent role in the monarchy. The news of King Charles potentially promoting Catherine on her birthday is expected to further fuel Meghan's resentment.
There are discussions in Royal circles about appointing Catherine as a Royal Lady of the Order of the G, a prestigious order established almost 700 years ago. This appointment, personally chosen by the monarch for significant service, would solidify her seniority alongside Queen Camilla and other distinguished Royals.
During the annual Garter Day procession, where the king and his Knights and ladies showcase their grand attire, many senior figures believe that after more than 10 years of exceptional Royal service, Catherine deserves a place in their ranks in her own right.
There's also speculation that Catherine, along with her husband, might gain the authority to issue her own Royal warrants, a power that has historically belonged to senior Royals. The pressure is mounting on King Charles to decide which family members can issue these prestigious marks of honor, with the prospect of the Princess of Wales issuing warrants seen as highly valuable to British businesses.
As Princess Katherine's birthday approaches on January 9, the anticipation is that Meghan may feel compelled to overshadow the celebration. Meghan's reported jealousy towards Catherine's success in life is evident, and there is a pattern of Meghan seeking attention despite expressing a desire for more privacy. Despite her statements about wanting a quieter life, Meghan continues to position herself in the public spotlight, contributing to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding her actions.
