The Princess of Wales and Meghan Markle have a distant relationship, despite Prince Harry’s efforts to mend ties with the royal family. The gap between Harry and his brother William has widened, and their wives also seem to lack a close bond.
However, there was a time when Meghan spoke highly of Princess Kate in an interview with Harry. Before the Sussexes’ decision to leave royal duties and go public with their grievances, it appeared that the “Fab Four” would be united.
Meghan and Harry announced their engagement in November 2017, followed by an interview with BBC journalist Mishal Husain. During the interview, Meghan commended the Queen, the Royal Family, and Kate for their warm reception.
In a Netflix documentary post their royal exit, Meghan reflected on her initial meeting with Kate, highlighting a cultural difference in their interactions. Harry later elaborated on this event in his memoir, mentioning the contrasting attire choices between Meghan and Kate at a dinner.
Meghan criticized their engagement interview, likening it to a scripted reality show, and expressed feeling restricted in sharing their own story. Mishal Husain, the interviewer, responded to Meghan’s critique by emphasizing the genuine joy and excitement exhibited by the couple during the interview.
Five months after the interview, Meghan and Harry tied the knot in a grand ceremony attended by royals and celebrities. In a surprising turn of events, the couple announced their decision to step back from royal duties less than two years later.
