Tensions between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton appear to be escalating once more, and this time the cause reportedly involves an old flame of Prince Harry. According to a royal insider, the Duchess of Sussex is growing increasingly frustrated with the Princess of Wales for publicly supporting the jewelry line of Chelsy Davy \u2014 Harry\u2019s ex-girlfriend.<\/p>\n
The claim, reported by Closer magazine<\/a>, suggests that Kate\u2019s support of Davy\u2019s brand, Aya, has not gone over well in the Sussex household. \u201cSupporting Chelsy\u2019s jewellery line [Aya] has sparked frustrations within the Sussex household,\u201d an insider revealed.<\/p>\n More:\u00a0Meghan Markle Blasted for \u2018Hypocritical\u2019 Use of Royal Title After Prince Harry\u2019s UK Security Blow<\/a> This gesture, which may have appeared innocent on the surface, is being perceived by some as anything but. \u201cThis move was perceived as deliberate and only fanned the flames rather than help bring the Sussexes and Waleses closer together,\u201d the source explained.<\/p>\n While Prince Harry and Meghan have previously expressed interest in mending fences with the royal family, insiders say that effort hasn\u2019t been reciprocated by Prince William or Kate. \u201cHarry and Meghan have been open to a reconciliation in recent years, [but] it hasn\u2019t gotten past William or Kate,\u201d the source claimed.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201c[William and Kate] feel there is too much water under the bridge and damage done to be able to come back from it,\u201d the insider added, suggesting that the divide between the once-close royal brothers \u2014 and their wives \u2014 remains deep.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the first time Meghan has felt targeted by royal actions. During the release of the Harry & Meghan Netflix docuseries, she spoke candidly about being encouraged to wear muted colors such as \u201ccamel, beige, and white\u201d to avoid clashing with more senior royals during official appearances.<\/p>\n However, some within the royal family reportedly saw the comments as exaggerated \u2014 even humorous. The source recalled that Meghan\u2019s comments \u201cproved to be quite a comedy moment for the women in the royal family.\u201d<\/p>\n More:\u00a0Royal Cousins Quietly Maintain Ties with Harry and Meghan<\/a> As a result, they allegedly responded with a not-so-subtle fashion statement of their own. \u201cBecause of that, they decided to turn up at the next event in the same colour. The move didn\u2019t go unnoticed on the other side of the pond,\u201d the source noted.<\/p>\n While the royal rift shows no signs of healing anytime soon, these subtle choices \u2014 from jewelry endorsements to wardrobe shades \u2014 seem to be carrying significant weight in the ongoing tension between the Sussexes and the rest of the Firm.<\/p>\n You Might Also Like:<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo by Karwai Tang\/WireImage Tensions between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton appear to be escalating once more, and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":80965,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[1500,7709,4044,7721,7719,5686,7718,5681,7720,1281,12,5683,5682,5684,447,7710,519,5685,7711,263],"class_list":{"0":"post-80964","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-british-royal-family","10":"tag-daily-news","11":"tag-duchess-of-sussex","12":"tag-duke-of-sussex","13":"tag-global-news","14":"tag-harry","15":"tag-inkl","16":"tag-meghan","17":"tag-meghan-markle","18":"tag-news","19":"tag-news-app","20":"tag-news-headlines","21":"tag-news-today","22":"tag-prince-harry","23":"tag-royal-families","24":"tag-royal-family","25":"tag-today-news","26":"tag-uk-royal-family","27":"tag-world-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114464741522098478","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80964","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80964"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80964\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80965"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
