Tensions between the Prince and Princess of Wales and Meghan Markle have escalated to an unprecedented level, according to insiders. Prince William and Princess Catherine have reportedly reached their breaking point over Meghan’s persistent efforts to divert attention away from them. Her latest move appears to be a calculated attempt to overshadow their upcoming milestone—their 15th wedding anniversary.
The former actress has strategically chosen to launch her new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, around the same time as the royal couple's significant celebration. The date, April 8th, falls just weeks before William and Catherine mark fifteen years of marriage—a relationship built on love, duty, and mutual respect. Instead of allowing them to celebrate this moment in peace, Meghan has once again positioned herself in the spotlight.
This is not the first time she has been accused of attempting to hijack royal milestones. When Catherine introduced her groundbreaking Early Years initiative, Meghan conveniently appeared at a women’s shelter, handing out bananas. When Catherine’s Christmas Carol service received widespread praise, stories about Meghan’s charitable donations suddenly circulated. Even during King Charles’ coronation, her absence was made into just as much of a spectacle as the event itself. The pattern is undeniable, and sources claim that William and Catherine are growing increasingly frustrated. Reports suggest that William was overheard venting to close advisers, pleading for Meghan to leave them alone. Given the circumstances, can anyone blame him?
Her new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, has raised eyebrows, particularly regarding its title. Many question what exactly Meghan has successfully "founded" other than controversy. Her previous podcast, Archetypes, was widely regarded as a failure, with Spotify allegedly paying millions just to terminate the contract early. Despite securing a lucrative $20 million deal and being provided with a full production team, she only managed to produce 12 episodes. In contrast, most independent podcasters generate more content in just a couple of months. Behind the scenes, reports from Spotify suggest that the work environment was so difficult that staff members discreetly referred to her as "Eva," inspired by the diva-like character from the classic film Queen Bee. Now, she is attempting to rebrand herself as a business guru, but the irony is undeniable. What insights can she truly offer—marrying into wealth, leveraging connections for personal gain, or walking away from commitments when it suits her?
Her public persona is built upon the very thing she claims to reject—her royal ties. The same monarchy she criticizes is the sole reason she continues to command attention. Meanwhile, Princess Catherine has dedicated years to meaningful initiatives, focusing on early childhood development, mental health awareness, and supporting vulnerable families. She has done all of this while raising three children and preparing for her future role as Queen. Meghan's repeated attempts to steal the spotlight only highlight her increasing desperation, making her intentions all the more transparent.
So, what do royal watchers think? Has Meghan finally taken things too far? Will her new podcast be yet another failure? And is Prince William justified in his frustration? While Meghan continues her relentless quest for relevance, the true working royals—William, Catherine, King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Princess Anne—remain focused on their duties. They serve with dignity, engage with the public, and represent Britain on the world stage. That is the fundamental difference between real royalty and the Hollywood version—one earns respect through service, while the other expects it merely for existing.
