Meghan Markle have the ‘worst judgment of anyone in the entire world’? Following claim by Princess Diana’s former confidante Tina Brown,
When Meghan Markle officially joined the Royal Family by marrying Prince Harry in May 2018, she was tipped as a future star due to her dazzling smile and empathetic nature.
But fast-forward to 2024 and Meghan, along with her husband, who once beat the late Queen in a poll of the nation’s favourite royal, have fled The Firm to live out their lives in increasing insignificance in California.
Tina Brown, the former editor of Tatler and The New Yorker, believes her dramatic fall from grace and relevance is because ‘she has the worst judgment of anyone in the entire world’.
The bestselling author of royal books, who had lunch with Princess Diana in New York two months before her death in 1997, added: ‘She’s a perfectionist about getting it all wrong. She really is.’
‘Her issue is that she doesn’t listen. She hires all these people, asks them their opinion, and then doesn’t follow it. She does what she wants to do. And all of her ideas are total crap, unfortunately.’
Shortly after she became involved with the Royal Family, Meghan courted controversy when it was revealed that her relationship with her sister-in-law Kate Middleton, who is beloved by the public, quickly turned sour.
Prince Harry said in January 2023 that trouble was brewing behind the scenes at Kensington Palace from the offset of his romance with the former Suits actress.
Although the Duke claims the Prince and Princess of Wales were ‘religious viewers’ of Suits, he said it was ‘fair’ to say that his family ‘didn’t get on’ with his wife ‘almost from the get-go’.
He explained: ‘There was a lot of stereotyping that was happening, that I was guilty of as well, at the beginning.’
He said the ‘stereotyping’ of Meghan, in part by William and Kate, was causing a ‘barrier’ to his family, preventing them from ‘welcoming her in.’
But the relationship continued to worsen, and in his book, Spare, Prince Harry detailed how Meghan asked to borrow a lip gloss from Kate ahead of their appearance at the first Royal Foundation Forum event in 2018.
He writes that Kate was surprised, but rummaged around in her bag before offering it to Meghan.
Harry goes on to claim that Meghan applied a little gloss to her finger, and rubbed it across her lips, before Kate made a ‘disgusted’ face.
As People magazine reports, Prince Harry speculated that Kate was ‘on edge’ around Meghan and suspected that she was ‘going to be compared to, and forced to compete with, Meg’.
In traditional royal fashion, Kate and William have refused to comment on their personal relationships, so only Meghan’s side of the story has been heard.
Getting into an emotional conflict with Kate over Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress
In his memoir Spare, Harry backed up Meghan’s claim that her sister-in-law made her cry ahead of their May 2018 wedding.
In October 2018, it was reported that a conflict over Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress had left Kate in tears.
One unnamed friend claimed Kate wanted to follow ‘protocol’, with the bridesmaids, including Charlotte, then three, wearing tights – but Meghan disagreed.
In his book Revenge, Tom Bower claimed unnamed sources told him the Duchess of Cambridge and Duchess of Sussex disagreed over the length of Princess Charlotte’s hemline and the fit of her dress
