In news that shouldn\u2019t be news: Meghan Markle<\/a> made a joke about pantyhose, and apparently, it has \u201cclosed the door\u201d on any chance of reconciliation with the rest of the royal family. <\/p>\n As a source for RadarOnline<\/a> explained, \u201cThat one silly comment about pantyhose said more than she realized. It came across as mocking the traditions that define the monarchy\u2014the very same traditions she once tried to be part of. It\u2019s small, but it\u2019s telling. People inside the palace think it just reinforces that she doesn\u2019t respect what those roles mean.\u201d<\/p>\n To give you some context: The joke in question was made during an appearance on The Circuit with Emily Chang<\/a>, which the Duchess of Sussex did to promote the season 2 release of With Love, Meghan<\/a>. When asked whether there was \u201can inherent tension in trying to be relatable while also being a duchess,\u201d Meghan recalled having to \u201cwear nude pantyhose all the time\u201d as a senior royal. <\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s be honest, that was not very myself,\u201d she continued. \u201cI hadn\u2019t seen pantyhose since the \u201980s, when they came in the little egg? That felt a little bit inauthentic, but that\u2019s a silly example.\u201d<\/p>\n Totally innocuous, right? Apparently, not in the eyes of the Palace.<\/p>\n According to the RadarOnline source, there had been \u201ca fragile peace forming\u201d between Meghan and her husband Prince Harry\u2019s family, \u201cespecially since the King\u2019s health became a private concern.\u201d However! Per the source, making jokes at the Palace\u2019s expense is the \u201ckind of thing\u201d that makes reconciliation \u201cimpossible.\u201d<\/p>\n The insider continued, \u201cShe\u2019s still laughing at the system while claiming she wants healing\u2014and that\u2019s something future king William, in particular, finds hard to stomach.\u201d<\/p>\n And how does King Charles feel about all this ^^^? Another source close to the royal household claimed the King finds the situation \u201cwearying,\u201d adding, \u201cCharles has tried to take a gentle, dignified approach with Harry and Meghan, but when she keeps making digs like this, it chips away at any chance of rebuilding trust. It\u2019s not malicious, but it\u2019s thoughtless\u2014and the royal family sees that as just as damaging.\u201d<\/p>\n Well then!
