In the most recent installment of "Royals," as Meghan Markle ventures into the realm of mingling with reality royalty, she encounters an unexpected frostiness from none other than Kim Kardashian.
This surprising twist unfolds in a narrative more captivating than any episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." Meghan, in what might have been construed as a bid for social elevation, attempted to extend her presence by expressing a desire to attend the funeral of Kim's late Aunt Karen.
However, Kim's response was a resounding refusal. Imagine this: the Kardashian Clan immersed in mourning following the sudden loss of Aunt Karen, a tragedy publicly disclosed by Chris Jenner on social media. Kim, in a heartfelt tribute, inundates her Instagram with cherished memories of Aunt Karen, portraying a family united in grief.
Enter Meghan, stage left, apparently sniffing out an opportunity to weave herself into the Kardashian narrative. Reportedly, Meghan extends her condolences and audaciously requests to attend the funeral. Kim's response, though polite, is a firm rejection akin to a Kardashian-sized door slam in Meghan's face.
Why, you might ask? It seems the Kardashians, as titans of reality TV, have drawn a line in the sand. Meghan's penchant for drama and headline-grabbing antics places her firmly on the other side. The message is unmistakable: while the Kardashians entertain the masses, they are selective about sharing the spotlight on personal moments, especially with someone who has turned royal controversies into Netflix specials. Meghan's overture reeks of desperation—a feeble attempt to mingle with Hollywood's elite, only to be reminded that not all celebrities are created equal.
Despite Instagram followers and Oprah interviews, Meghan cannot shake off the stigma of her and Harry's royal rebel act. They've become the black sheep of both Hollywood and Windsor—too royal for the celebrities and too celebrity for the royals. It's a limbo of their own making, and now it seems even the Kardashians want nothing to do with it. Kim's refusal is more than a rejection; it's a statement. It's Hollywood royalty telling British royalty, or what's left of it, that there are social circles they cannot penetrate, no matter how many raw secrets they spill.
Meghan's attempt to gate-crash Aunt Karen's funeral isn't just a misstep; it's a glaring sign of desperation for relevance in a world growing weary of acts. It appears that Kim has learned her lesson after mocking Princess Catherine following the Princess of Wales's cancer diagnosis. Kim Kardashian is under tremendous pressure to apologize for an insensitive post about the princess.
Kardashian posted snaps of herself with the caption "On my way to go find Kate" on Friday, March 22nd, the same day the princess revealed in a video post that she'd been diagnosed with cancer. She had stayed away from the public eye for several days after undergoing abdominal surgery, sparking rumors and conspiracy theories. Many commented on Kardashian's post, demanding that she apologize. "I think an apology is needed," one user commented. Another said, "You should probably take this down now."
Someone else wrote, "Can you please go find an apology instead? After the news of her having cancer has been revealed, you should really take this down. It's extremely insensitive, and you owe our princess an apology." Another user said, "Well, I guess she found her in the chemo. Kim, your caption is distasteful," while another wrote, "I hope you publicly apologize to the Princess of Wales now that she's confirmed she has cancer.
Are you going to take this down? So distasteful," added another, with someone else writing, "Pathetic, insensitive post. My heart goes out to Kate Middleton. On another note, I mean, is Kim Kardashian still relevant? Just asking," a user wrote. "I really don't believe this post is still here. It just shows an 'I don't care' attitude."
