Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has been navigating life outside the royal family since leaving her royal duties with Prince Harry, but reports suggest she remains haunted by palace tensions. Sources claim ongoing friction with Princess Kate Middleton has fueled a broader sense of isolation and frustration for the former actress.
Alleged Palace Campaign Against Meghan
Insiders allege that Meghan believes the Palace, particularly Kate, has orchestrated media narratives to undermine her projects. A source told Radar Online, “Meghan is beyond furious. She’s certain there’s an organized effort to bring her down, and she’s convinced it’s coming straight from the Palace.”

The tensions reportedly intensified following incidents like:
- Meghan’s comments about Princess Kate’s hormones after childbirth, jokingly referred to as “Baby Brain”, which are said to have ignited friction between the two.
- A disagreement over Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress fitting, with Kate reportedly upset about the dress’s length and fit.
Differences in Upbringing and Personality
Royal commentators and historians suggest that Meghan and Kate’s differing upbringings and personalities may have contributed to their strained relationship. The source added, “She’s been telling friends that the royals – particularly Kate Middleton – are using their media connections to quietly undermine her work. In her mind, none of this is happening by chance.”
Meghan’s Career Frustrations
The reports come after Meghan’s high-profile Netflix show failed to break into the Top 10 in the US or UK, despite significant effort. The source claims Meghan sees the same pattern of palace-driven negative coverage influencing public reception: “She’s convinced it’s the same royal machine at play – planting stories and fueling negative coverage.”
Life Outside the Palace
While Prince Harry adjusts to life in the US, Meghan continues to navigate challenges as a former royal. The ongoing rift and alleged palace interference highlight the persistent scrutiny she faces and the complexities of leaving royal life behind.
