Meghan and Kate’s Hopes for a Bonded Relationship Shattered, Expert Claims

Prince Harry had hoped that his wife Meghan Markle and sister-in-law Kate Middleton would develop a close bond, but according to an expert, their relationship was doomed from the beginning.

The couple recently made a joint public appearance in New York, delivering a speech as part of Global Citizen's 24-hour TV marathon, where they advocated for COVID-19 vaccine equality.

This cause has been a long-standing one for them, as they previously appeared in a Global Citizen event earlier this year with the same message.

Speaking from Central Park's Great Lawn, Harry questioned whether we are prepared to take the necessary steps to end the pandemic, while Meghan emphasized the importance of immediate action.

This appearance is just one of the many charitable endeavors the couple has undertaken since leaving the royal family last year, as they strive to make a positive impact on the world.

Their departure from the firm, which was marked by a tumultuous fallout dubbed “Megxit,” has left royal experts searching for the exact cause of their rift.

Danielle Elser, a commentator who regularly writes about the royal family, recently explored the topic in an article titled “Why Prince Harry's Wish for Meghan and Kate to Get Along Was Doomed.”

In her piece, she drew parallels between the situation and a historic letter from Mary Queen of Scots to Queen Elizabeth I, which revealed attempts at reconciliation.

Although the circumstances of Meghan and Kate differ greatly from those of the two queens, Elser highlighted the similarities in their positions and the challenges they faced in winning public support.

Elser questioned previous reports of a feud between Meghan and Kate, suggesting that their relationship may have been destined to fail due to external pressures.

She referred to the re-release of royal author Andrew Morton's book, “Meghan, and American Princesses,” which indicated that their connection was never going to be one of close friendship.

Elser pondered whether Meghan and Kate were doomed from the start, unable to form the bonds that Harry and the public had hoped for.

This conclusion is not unique to Elser, as others have also noted that Meghan and Kate were unlikely to become best friends.

Coming from different backgrounds, Meghan from showbiz and Kate from an upper-middle-class English upbringing, they were inherently different people.

Royal commentator Ashley Pearson, who appeared in the documentary “Harry and Meghan, The Next Step,” stated that while they were cordial, they did not share a close friendship.

Pearson emphasized that they were both independent women with their own opinions and styles, not teenagers who could be forced to get along on a trip.

Addressing rumors of a rift between her and Kate, Meghan spoke out in her interview with Oprah Winfrey, asserting that there was no animosity between them.

She urged people not to choose sides and emphasized that it was possible to love both her and Kate.

Despite this, the expert believes that any differences between the two women are more likely to stem from the diverging ideas of their husbands, Prince Harry and Prince William.

While Meghan and Kate's hopes for a strong bond may have been shattered, their commitment to making a difference in the world remains unwavering.

Their joint appearance in New York is just another step in their ongoing efforts to create positive change and leave a lasting impact.
