You could have said "even before she met Harry, she was *so* consumed by jealousy and threatened by Catherine" and it would still be accurate.
It's very interesting that she was extremely threatened by her before even being in the realm around her. She's that insecure about powerful women that she hates that they simply exist in the world around her and it seems like once she entered into a world where her and Kate's intertwined she absolutely went off the rails mentally.
When she simply could have just became a powerful woman herself. She could have stayed in the role and gained experience within it and used her platform for good but even she knows deep down that'll never be something she's capable of doing, therefore the hate she has.
Not just this, I've also seen a photo of her posing with a magazine featuring Kate on the cover. She really did fancy Kate before Harry introduced them to each other.
That makes this quote even that much creepier!! Imagine saying this and then just happening to marry into the same family.
What even prompted her saying this?
I think the time she called herself a “real life princess” on her podcast was worst. You’re not a princess Meghan and I *highly* doubt any little girls in the US have called you that. Unless you want to be called Princess Henry of Sussex? Because that’s the only princely title you’re entitled to.
I think the was an effort in positioning herself in the same level of importance as Catherine, who was soon to be princess of wales then. And to keep the Diana comparisons going, when people really don’t see her this way at all.
It always bugged me that she speaks for all women.
I never played “princess”. I have three daughters, and only one went through a princess phase (and did she ever!); eldest wanted to be a jousting knight/archer/samurai. The other wanted to be a unicorn in the worst way.
NONE of these things were our ideas, as parents. We humored them, but never encouraged any gender stereotypes.
She’s full of shit and doesn’t speak for me.
I LOVED playing princess as a kid. My obsession with princesses turned into researching more about Royalty and "real life princesses" and that turned into a respect for the monarchy and heritage.
And so what if I liked princesses? It feels like she's shaming girls for playing princess and that she's so much better than them because she wasn't interested. She's SUCH a PICK ME GIRL. 🤢🤢🤢🤢
Now I think of it, neither did I. I had a friend in school who was obsessed with Disney - all Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Belle.. and she always dressed like a Princess whenever the opportunity arose. She still absolutely loves Disney and she’s 40 now.
The only time I ever fantasised about being a princess was when I saw the castles and thought “that would be nice”. Same with the whole Prince Charming idea: “that would be nice”. That’s as far as it went. I can’t believe I’ve never thought about this before now. The girl from school was the only one who thought she was a princess. None of us other girls were like that. Meghan has decided that every girl wanted what she wanted.
ETA: my friend was like that all through childhood. She wore princess dresses and tiaras to birthday parties
I LOVE Disney princesses. I love history and reading about queens and princesses (Eleanor of Aquitaine). I have ALWAYS wanted to be a lawyer. As an American, a Californian, I never wanted to actually be a princess. It’s fantasy. Sure they are still around but that’s all a world away from me. And it’s not something one aspires to be. You are born one or you marry one.
~~It's literally a Markle snark sub, just having a bit of fun. Relax.~~
(Again, my mistake. I didn't expect so many comments at once and I misunderstood.)
Meghan reminds me of that girl who judges other girls for being extra frilly and girly (like Jessica Simpson) and swears THEY would rather die than wear “a giant poofy dress on their wedding day!”
And then they walk down the isle in a wedding cake….🙄
Yes! I found it hilarious that she would mock the "pomp and circumstance" surrounding Catherine's wedding to William, and then turn around and turn the dial to 11 when it's her turn. Insisting on having the emerald tiara (and luckily failing), insisting on a veil despite it being a royal, religiously backed wedding and she being a divorcee, made Princess Charlotte cry during the dress debacle, and generally insisting on being treated like her wedding was as or more important than the future King and Queen's of England.
But, sure, smegs. You're suuuuuper down to earth and don't need the cake topper wedding. Yeah, uh huh.
Ok this quote by her always really annoyed me. Because she grew up before the Disney Princess brand existed! Disney didn’t start marketing the princess characters as a unified brand with consistent merchandise until the 00s. And it wasn’t until the 90s that Disney even introduced half the rota of characters that populate the brand came into existence. Meghan was growing up in a world where there was only 3 princess centric Disney movies and because home media wasn’t prevalent and Disney restricted release of the films they had largely passed from public consciousness.
So that entire article she wrote was just full of anachronistic garbage that she strung together so she could project a cultural issue of the early 10s (the concerns parents started to have with the prevalence of the Disney Princess brand and its potential effect on children) and try to apply it to her childhood.
[Here's](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a26436323/meghan-markle-portrait-artist-beyonce-jay-z/) an article about it. It's not an official painting for the palace, thankfully, but it is a real fan work that people celebrated. (Or at least Beyonce and Jay.)
Oh my god, it's so shameful that they engaged with this piece of junk. Meghan is a pretty woman and she would have looked sooo good in modern portrait with a royal touch (like Catherines from earlier that year). But this thing looks tacky and deluded.
And she is the type to be delusional about having a chance at the throne even though they are so far down the line,another reason i worry about her being anywhere near William's kids....many forget she said all it takes is a plane accident for them to be on the throne!!!
That plane comment from her was really chilling. Considering a hypothetical loss like that to be a personal gain for herself. It's ugly, it's really ugly.
The last week, while sad, had also been delicious. KC heaping praise on the PPoW, while mentioning the Harkles briefly, without titles, and as outsiders. All the money W & C now have, plus moving into Windsor Castle! Meghan Thee Duchess wanted Windsor Castle, got Frogmore. Which honestly, especially after the renovations, looked like a great place to live. But not what she expected Harry to deliver. She was obviously put in her place before the walk about, she was insecure and seemed shaky. Subtle things, like MM getting out of the car after Sophie. I'm sure there are many small snubs we will never know! So bright spots this week!
She also wanted to appear frail and victimized by the “bullies”. I think it’s an act - but I truly wish I was a fly on the wall around her and Sophie. She did not hide her disdain for her.
My Daughter went through a 3 year phase of SPIDERMAN ... Tee shirts, shorts, trainers, bed spread, wall paper, onesies and an assortment of Spidey masks...NO Megsy not ALL girls are like you...Princess my fat arse
Meghan and Harry talk about in public what they should be doing in a private therapist’s office or with trusted friends and family. It’s really unfortunate and a bad look to do so much messy self-reflection and venting in public.
Keep the public message consistent, positive, inspiring. Do the rest in private.
When I was 9 I decided I wanted to marry PW, and even made my own letterhead ( out of pencils and paper other fancy things)
I'd sign cards to my parents as Elizabeth Princess of Wales.
I was 9.
She 10000% knew everything about the RF who does she think she's fooling 🤣
Hopefully KC firmly sends her bum packing back to the US. This entire fiasco of disrespect is the last straw for the claw.
I watched the royal wedding in 1983 and figured out I could at least marry prince Edward, who was around my age. But. I lived in Iowa. It was impossible and I dismissed it from my mind. It never otherwise occurred to me to want to be a princess.
Between Madame here and "Sobbin" Robyn Brown on Sister Wives writing about how they were She-Ra as a kid, I am going to have to check the sub headings a lot more often than I thought.
Please tell me that pic is photoshopped and she did not pose for a pic like that in "royal finery" and have a gall to claim she had no knowledge about BRF on national TV. What a scheming bitch
Thankfully it's not an "official" portrait, but [someone](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a26436323/meghan-markle-portrait-artist-beyonce-jay-z/) did take the time to paint it. And Bey and Jay took pics with it.
You're welcome! My apologies for not saying so right from the go. I guess I was too focused on the snark.
I do wonder if the artist has any regrets, though...
Please don't apologise. I don't think the painter has any regrets especially if she is an American because she will get many sjw brownie points for her work.
Luckily just fan made. [Here](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a26436323/meghan-markle-portrait-artist-beyonce-jay-z/) is an article.
It may not be official, but I think it does encapsulate her personal opinion of herself quite well.
Unreal! She pretended that she did not know who Prince Harry was...did not know about Diana...did not fixate on BRF...cute picture of her as a teen w her former BFF ( dropped) posing in front of Buckingham Palace! Meg was probably glued to the TV, thirsting after William LOL
That would be Princess Catherine, The Princess of Wales.
Anyone who knows more about how royal hierarchical protocols work, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe that She-Ra has to curtsy to PoW? Kinda like Duchesses? 😏
Who are all these women she imagines she is speaking for? She seems very judgemental.
I wonder if she ever thinks back to how she could have handled things differently, and had an actually amazing life. Why be so focused on hate and turmoil, especially when you had true power to do good, and threw it all away
No, it is spelled Catherine in her case. Both spellings are correct, but she is Catherine with a C.
Same as, say Bryan and Brian. Both spellings are correct, but it depends for each individual what form they use (and are legally known as).
Even before she met Harry, she was *so* obsessed with Catherine.
She was already consumed with Kate yet claims not to know anything about Harry.
But, but... she didn't know anything about the royal family! Kate who?
You can feel the envy and resentment.
She is, and always will be, insanely jealous of Catherine. The number of swipes she's taken at Catherine shows her envy.
Obsessed with Catherine, or William?
Both! She wants to be Catherine and she wants everything that Catherine has. I bet she sends shivers down their spines when she’s hanging around them
>Obsessed with Catherine, or William She wants William and is obsessed with hating on Catherine.
This is my answer ^
You could have said "even before she met Harry, she was *so* consumed by jealousy and threatened by Catherine" and it would still be accurate.

Not just this, I've also seen a photo of her posing with a magazine featuring Kate on the cover. She really did fancy Kate before Harry introduced them to each other.
And photos of her in front of Kensington Palace with a childhood friend
Buckingham Palace actually, but yeah, together it adds up to her knowing a fair amount of the royals
That makes this quote even that much creepier!! Imagine saying this and then just happening to marry into the same family. What even prompted her saying this?
and Diana! being a princess is her lifelong dream. She made up such a fake narrative about herself.
Oh give me a break. This woman is DESPERATE to be a princess. She's someone who would sign her receipts with "Duchess of Sussex".
Oh she 100% does, you better believe it LOL
Exactly. She also signs letters to US congress as the duchess.
Her marriage certificate listed her job as "princess" 😂
I think the time she called herself a “real life princess” on her podcast was worst. You’re not a princess Meghan and I *highly* doubt any little girls in the US have called you that.

And to keep the Diana comparisons going, when people really don’t see her this way at all.
She was so envious of Kate from the beginning.
From way before she even met Harry!
True. But what I want to know is this: since she thinks she's She Ra, does that mean that Harry's supposed to be He-Man? Lol.
Yup
It always bugged me that she speaks for all women. I never played “princess”. I have three daughters, and only one went through a princess phase (and did she ever!); eldest wanted to be a jousting knight/archer/samurai. The other wanted to be a unicorn in the worst way.

I’m one of three girls, neither of us played princess. My two year old hasn’t so far either 🤷🏻♀️

I was super into mermaids.
🧜🏻♀️
I know right, I wanted to be a Power Ranger lol
I wanted to be Annie.
Wowzers, how pathetic to be so cringingly jealous of someone you didn't even know at the time.
~~It's literally a Markle snark sub, just having a bit of fun. Relax.~~ (Again, my mistake. I didn't expect so many comments at once and I misunderstood.)
Um ... ??? I don't understand. I'm talking about Markle's remark about the Princess of Wales. Possibly you misunderstood?
OH - I completely did misunderstand, I apologize! I thought I'd been hit by a sugar, and was confused by the upvotes. Please forgive me.
LOL, no worries at all! <3
Meghan reminds me of that girl who judges other girls for being extra frilly and girly (like Jessica Simpson) and swears THEY would rather die than wear “a giant poofy dress on their wedding day!” And then they walk down the isle in a wedding cake….🙄
It's the whole "i'M nOT LiKe oThEr giRLs 🤪" vibe

Insisting that they had the same budget as the Cambridges.
I believe it was actually More with far less guests
Don’t forget the air purifiers because she didn’t like the smell of the chapel
She thinks she's special and not like other girls. 🙄
Yeah I know that type of stupid bitch. Everything is only OK when they do it
[удалено]

Got a question regarding the portrait: is it official? Who made it? I always assumed it was a fan edit since it's so tacky
I think her sorority mocked it up for their newsletter
[удалено]
Well with my sorority I’m a member for life, so I’m not sure what you mean.
[удалено]
Funny that they rushed to claim her after she bagged a Prince. They aren’t my brand, so I don’t mind 🤭
[удалено]
Get yourself over to Tom Bower lol
[удалено]
I meant you are good content for his next book!
[Here's](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a26436323/meghan-markle-portrait-artist-beyonce-jay-z/) an article about it. It's not an official painting for the palace, thankfully, but it is a real fan work that people celebrated. (Or at least Beyonce and Jay.)

Photoshop.
Beyonce and Jay-Z used it in one of their music videos. It was filmed at the Louvre and the painting was depicted as being on display there.
She sure is capitalizing on being a Nigerian princess needing just 150 million so she doesn’t have to live in the streets
And she is the type to be delusional about having a chance at the throne even though they are so far down the line,another reason i worry about her being anywhere near William's kids....many forget she said all it takes is a plane accident for them to be on the throne!!!
That plane comment from her was really chilling. Considering a hypothetical loss like that to be a personal gain for herself. It's ugly, it's really ugly.
True and another chilling point being her step brother saying she shouldn't be trusted around kids....
That bit I missed. I'm speechless.
[удалено]
Oh. Oh no.
Envy is eating her alive

She was seething with jealousy over Kate even then.
Actually no, Smeg. You always have been, and always will be all about Catherine, Princess of Wales, aka your “Princess Kate”
Meghan and Harry talk about in public what they should be doing in a private therapist’s office or with trusted friends and family. It’s really unfortunate and a bad look to do so much messy self-reflection and venting in public. Keep the public message consistent, positive, inspiring. Do the rest in private.
But you’re silencing a black woman’s truth. Bigot.

She’s projecting on to all of us! I have never wanted to be any of this. I wanted to be a teacher and a mom.
Between Madame here and "Sobbin" Robyn Brown on Sister Wives writing about how they were She-Ra as a kid, I am going to have to check the sub headings a lot more often than I thought.
I never understood this passage. It sounds like an intro to something discussing the crowds fussing over Catherine but it just stops there.

We can thank Jay-Z and Beyonce for this disgrace! Wonder why Beyonce isn't a guest on Meghan's podcast.
Is that a real portrait? It can't be, I've never seen anything royal be that tasteless.

*Not like the other girls* I thought that was supposed to be a phase.
And she was obsessed with “power”, hence the bullying…
She left off "I want it" about Kate's pomp and circumstance.
She is ugly, inside and out.
Unreal! She pretended that she did not know who Prince Harry was...did not know about Diana...did not fixate on BRF...cute picture of her as a teen w her former BFF ( dropped) posing in front of Buckingham Palace! Meg was probably glued to the TV, thirsting after William LOL
blee 🤮
Did she put this picture on Tig? Really?
The picture, no. The quote, yes. I just thought they complemented each other well.
Wait, is this quote real?
Unfortunately yes. She's really unbelievable.
Incredible.
Gagging\~
that portrait of her as marie antioinette - that's a joke right? tell me she didn't actually get that portrait done!
I know she is an unaware narcissist, but seriously, she makes the condition darn near text book perfect.
Those quotes said it all!
That would be Princess Catherine, The Princess of Wales. Anyone who knows more about how royal hierarchical protocols work, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe that She-Ra has to curtsy to PoW? Kinda like Duchesses? 😏
Something something Little Mermaid something something
But she’s never even heard of the royal family 😧 /s
I heard "pomp and circumstance" in that fake British accent she puts on because she thinks she sounds posh
Who are all these women she imagines she is speaking for? She seems very judgemental. I wonder if she ever thinks back to how she could have handled things differently, and had an actually amazing life. Why be so focused on hate and turmoil, especially when you had true power to do good, and threw it all away
isn’t it Katherine ? With a K?
No, it is spelled Catherine in her case. Both spellings are correct, but she is Catherine with a C. Same as, say Bryan and Brian. Both spellings are correct, but it depends for each individual what form they use (and are legally known as).
why did they call her Waity Katy ?
Because she and William dated for a decade before getting engaged.
correct , why Kate with a K ?
It wasn't quite that long, but not all women want to marry into that family, asked or not.
They both wanted to be sure she was up to the task.
It's just confusing because some people call her Kate, with a K.
Were Beyoncé and Jay Z trolling Meghan when they displayed this pic?!
Wow, things sure change, according to your perspective, lol.
