Princes William and Harry’s strained relationship may be making headlines, but it pales in comparison to the alleged plot by Prince Andrew to keep Charles off the throne, with the help of Diana.
While William and Harry have had their differences, it was actually Catherine and Meghan who clashed from the very beginning.
On the surface, these two women couldn't be more different.
Kate is a beloved member of the royal family, a dedicated mother of three who has served the crown for years.
Meghan, on the other hand, is an American divorcee, an actress, and a vocal advocate for various causes.
The tensions between Kate and Meghan escalated when the latter joined the royal family.
Reports at the time suggested that Meghan made Kate cry during the preparations for the royal wedding.
However, Meghan later revealed in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that it was actually Kate who made her cry.
This revelation made it clear that their relationship was irreparable.
Despite briefly uniting in grief after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, a reconciliation seems unlikely.
The rocky relationship between Diana Spencer and King Charles III is still a topic of discussion today.
Behind closed doors, these two simply did not get along.
According to royal correspondent Robert Jobson's book “Charles at 70, Thoughts, Hopes, and Dreams,” the king never wanted to marry Diana in the first place.
He reportedly expressed his desire to get out of the wedding, having had no chance to know Diana beforehand.
The pressure to marry someone who would provide an heir and maintain a scandal-free image led Charles to choose Diana.
Camilla Parker Bowles, whom Charles had feelings for, was not seen as suitable for the role by Queen Elizabeth and the royal firm.
Despite this, Charles and Camilla continued their affair throughout their respective marriages.
The queen, upon learning about their relationship, called Camilla “that wicked woman” and made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with her.
It took several more years for the queen and Camilla to find common ground.
Sarah Ferguson, who married Prince Andrew, was reportedly a favorite in-law of Prince Philip's.
However, their relationship soured when Fergie was involved in a scandal, which included pictures of her sunbathing with businessman John Bryan.
Philip was disgusted by her actions and refused to be in the same room with her for years.
Even at high-profile events, their discomfort was apparent.
Fergie notably skipped Philip's funeral, but attended the queen's funeral and expressed her affection for the late monarch.
Before Queen Elizabeth ascended the throne, her father, King George VI, was the ruling monarch.
However, he was never meant to be king.
His older brother, King Edward VIII, initially took the throne but abdicated within months to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson.
This decision caused a rift between the brothers and changed the course of the monarchy.
The dynamic between them, including the influence of their wives, is endlessly fascinating.
Princess Anne, known for her dedication and hard work, had a feud with Diana Spencer.
According to royal biographer Ingrid Seward, Anne believed that Diana was too soft and subtle to fulfill her royal duties.
Anne had a more traditional approach to monarchy and clashed with Diana's approach to using the media to promote herself.
Diana herself was aware of Charles' relationship with Camilla and confronted them about it during a party.
This confrontation marked a turning point in their marriage, as Diana realized that the end was near.
Prince Andrew's involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and the subsequent scandal surrounding him strained his relationship with Charles even further.
Charles reportedly felt that Andrew had let the family down and compromised the queen with his BBC Newsnight interview.
It was revealed that Andrew had plotted with Diana to prevent Charles from becoming king.
These were dark and strange times for the royal family, with paranoia becoming a reality.
Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, Andrew's daughters, are reportedly at odds with Prince William, Catherine, and Charles.
Charles has long wanted to streamline the working royals and has considered removing their titles.
This has created a cold atmosphere between them, and it remains to be seen if they will retain their titles or face further changes within the royal family.
