Allegations have surfaced, implicating Meghan Markle in orchestrating a smear campaign against her sister-in-law, Katherine, the Princess of Wales, amid a photo controversy.
These claims emerged from secondhand sources on Reddit, suggesting that Meghan herself spearheaded the effort. Reportedly, she meticulously scrutinized the photos, identifying minor flaws, and then prompted WME to use their connections to remove the images from circulation.
Her motive seemed clear: to prevent Catherine from overshadowing her SXSW interview and other publicity endeavors. However, her strategy backfired, as the controversy only fueled more interest, contrary to Meghan's intentions.
Interestingly, the press readily participated in the dissemination of the photos, as the Royals refrained from sharing them with any news outlets, opting instead to release them on their own social media platforms. While the incident may seem blown out of proportion, Meghan's involvement is undeniable. Her apparent jealousy towards Katherine is becoming increasingly concerning, especially considering past instances where she and Prince Harry were criticized for editing their own images.
In 2019, Royal fans noticed discrepancies in Meghan and Harry's Christmas card, sparking accusations of photo manipulation. Despite Meghan's keen eye for detail, questions arose regarding the uneven focus on faces and apparent alterations to Baby Archie's image.
The ensuing global furor left Katherine feeling saddened, as she never intended for the sweet snap to cause such controversy. Royal expert and Majesty magazine editor Ingrid Seward suggested that Meghan's actions stemmed from jealousy towards Katherine and the bond she shares with Harry. It's speculated that Harry's deep affection for Katherine, evident even during Princess Diana's time, may have fueled Meghan's envy, leaving her disillusioned with her own royal aspirations.
