Meghan Markle's scathing comments on Kate Middleton's wedding years before they met

Meghan Markle dismissed future sister-in-law Kate Middleton’s wedding as a “childhood fantasy” in a scathing post in her now defunct blog.

The then Suits star was far from polite when discussing the Prince and Princess of Wales’ 2011 nuptials at Westminster Abbey.

Although millions of people around the world were in rapture at the royal affair, it seems the American was far from impressed judging by her comments in The Tig, the lifestyle blog she gave up in 2017.

Writing in 2014 she said Kate’s wedding was “far from Cinderella” and that little girls dream of being princesses while she wanted to be a superhero.

The MailOnline reported the post as saying: “Little girls dream of being princesses. I, for one, was all about She-Ra, Princess of Power,...the twin sister of He-Man and a sword-wielding royal rebel known for her strength.

'We're definitely not talking about Cinderella here.

“Grown women seem to retain this childhood fantasy. Just look at the pomp and circumstance surrounding the royal wedding and endless conversation about Princess Kate.”

Years later, the Duchess of Sussex told Oprah Winfrey she had not researched her future husband and how she "didn't grow up knowing much about the royal family".

Royal biographer Andrew Morton also previously said when Meghan was 16, she watched the funeral of Princess Diana with "tears coursing down her cheeks".

The Duchess of Sussex ran the popular lifestyle blog before entering the royal family, posting her favourite recipes, fun photos and her inner-most thoughts.

It was named after her favourite wine Tignanello, and shared her thoughts on feminism, travel, the arts, design and wellness.

In some of her most memorable posts, Meghan opened up about her younger years before she shot to international fame .

The former Suits actress reportedly deleted The Tig to minimise the level of media scrutiny ahead of her wedding to Harry in 2018.
