A new book has shed light on a heated confrontation between Meghan Markle and Prince William, offering fresh insights into the fractured relationships within the Royal Family. According to royal author Robert Jobson, tensions between the Duchess of Sussex and the future king escalated during a dispute involving Kate Middleton, now the Princess of Wales.
The Incident: “Get Your Finger Out of My Face”
The incident reportedly took place after Meghan allegedly made a comment about Kate having “baby brain” shortly after the birth of Prince Louis. The remark, which referred to Kate’s hormones, did not sit well with the Princess of Wales, who felt the comment was inappropriate given their lack of closeness. During a subsequent meeting to clear the air, Kate demanded an apology, saying, “We are not close enough for you to talk about my hormones.”
When Prince William intervened, accusing Meghan of being “rude,” the situation became even more heated. According to Jobson, Meghan snapped back at William, saying, “Take your finger out of my face.” This intense exchange highlighted the growing discord between the once closely-watched “Fab Four.”
Parallel Accounts: Echoes from Harry’s Memoir
The account in Jobson’s book mirrors a similar story shared by Prince Harry in his memoir, Spare. Harry recounted that Meghan and Kate had struggled to get along and that the situation worsened during their discussion. He described how Meghan had apologized for the “baby brain” comment, explaining that it was the way she spoke with her friends. However, the conversation soured when William pointed his finger at Meghan, prompting her sharp retort.
Harry’s “Olive Branch Trip” Without Meghan
As tensions within the Royal Family continue, Prince Harry is reportedly planning an “olive branch trip” to the UK in an attempt to mend his relationship with his family. However, Meghan is expected to remain in the United States, focusing on her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, and other commitments. Sources close to the couple suggest that Meghan is hesitant to return to the UK due to past negative experiences and fears of public backlash.
“Harry is very anxious to go home and see his dad, catch up with his friends for his birthday in September, and also pay a visit to his aunt, Princess Anne,” a source told Closer. “But the situation hasn’t changed for Meghan. She’s got way too much on her plate with the brand and her new cooking show, as well as looking after the children.”
Meghan’s Return to the UK: Uncertain Amid Security Concerns
Meghan’s return to the UK remains uncertain, as Harry has expressed concerns about their safety in the country. The couple has paused their search for a new UK home amid a legal dispute with the Home Office over their security arrangements, which were revoked when they stepped back from royal duties.
In a recent ITV documentary, “Tabloids on Trial,” Harry voiced his fears of Meghan becoming a target of violence, citing the potential danger posed by a “knife” or “acid” attack. “It’s still dangerous, and all it takes is one lone actor,” Harry said, emphasizing his reluctance to bring Meghan and their children back to Britain.
King Charles: Caught in the Crossfire
The ongoing rift between the Sussexes and the Waleses has left King Charles deeply saddened, according to royal expert Hardman. Despite his efforts to mediate, Charles has found himself increasingly frustrated with the situation, especially as he navigates his own health challenges.
“Of course, the king is extremely sad about Harry and Meghan, but there is a sense of exasperation,” Hardman told The Mirror. “He has done what he can and now, as king, there are many more things to think about.” Charles, it seems, has reached a point where he is stepping back from the family drama, choosing to focus on his duties as monarch.
A Family Divided
The revelations in Jobson’s book add another layer to the ongoing saga of the Royal Family’s internal struggles. As Harry prepares for his solo trip to the UK, the question remains whether any reconciliation is possible or if the divisions within the House of Windsor will continue to deepen.
