The Princess of Wales and Meghan Markle have been known not to have a close relationship, despite Prince Harry’s efforts to mend ties with the royal family. The gap between Prince Harry and his brother William has widened, and there appears to be tension between their wives as well.
However, there was a time when Meghan spoke highly of Princess Kate during an interview with Harry. Before the Sussexes decided to leave royal life and express their grievances publicly, it seemed that the ‘Fab Four’ were on good terms.
Meghan and Harry announced their engagement in November 2017, followed by an interview with former BBC journalist Mishal Husain. During the interview, Meghan commended the Royal Family, the Queen, and Kate for their warm reception.
In a Netflix documentary after stepping back from royal duties, Meghan reflected on her first meeting with Kate, highlighting differences in their casual and formal approaches. Harry later expanded on this in his memoir, mentioning how Kate and William seemed to appreciate Meghan during a dinner.
Meghan criticized their engagement interview, likening it to a scripted reality show. In response, Mishal Husain, who conducted the interview, defended the genuine joy displayed by Meghan and Harry.
The couple tied the knot in May 2018, with many royals and celebrities attending. However, less than two years later, they surprised the public by announcing their decision to step back from the royal family.
