'Ruthless' Kate showed real opinion on Meghan with Oprah demand expert claims

The Princess of Wales is said to have seen her troublesome sister-in-law Meghan Markle as a "disruptor" of Hollywood according to a royal expert.

The two royals have long been compared against each other with an alleged feud between the two having been brewing ever since Meghan married into the British Royal Family.

However, an expert has now spoken of the completely different lives the two women led prior to marrying into Royalty as she claims that Kate likely viewed Meghan as a "Hollywood disruptor" who was "trying to bring down the institution that the Princess of Wales has staked her entire identity on".

Discussing the rumoured feud between the sister-in-laws, royal expert and author Tessa Dunlop claims that the initial speculation of a rift between the pair were "depressingly gendered" in regards to how it played out worlds away from the modern monarchy and that "fab four" that the public desired, the Mirror reports.

Dunlop claims: "It turned out that the bridesmaid squabble was just the tip of the iceberg".

She added that since stepping down from the Royal Family in 2020, the Sussexes' have "hurdled numerous incendiary accusations at the Royal Family, none worse than suggestions of racism in the 2021 Oprah interview".

She continued: "And now we discover it was Kate who doggedly insisted Buckingham Palace punch back with that famous phrase: 'some recollections may vary'."

"While it is unclear which private secretary inserted the vital line, Kate pressed for its retention, insisting 'history will judge this statement'.

"She claimed that to say nothing would add weight to Harry and Meghan's bombshell interview. This unequivocal stance should not surprise us."

Tessa then compared the differences between Kate's and Meghan's "training for the institution of monarchy" as Kate was more experienced having been "raised in some of Britain's finest public schools and had dated William for nearly a decade".

She went on: "Kate speaks the same cultural language as the royal household she works alongside". However, Meghan's American background was very different and "in stark contrast".

The expert then spoke of how the former Suits actress comes from "sharp-elbowed Hollywood, where ambition and celebrity went hand in hand.

"In Harry's words: 'Meg: ripped jeans, barefoot. Kate: done up to the nines.' The only thing the two women had in common was the royal family they married in to," she noted.

She then added that Prince William's wife Kate was "always destined for the top job" regardless of how much Meghan shone.

"She [Kate] clearly saw Meghan as a Hollywood disrupter trying to bring down the institution that the Princess of Wales has staked her entire identity on.

"Kate, one day our future Queen, knows how to play the long game. Quiet, canny and [sic] considerate , Harry and Meghan have discovered their clothes-loving sister-in-law with her 'heavily disguised silly side' (according to Spare) also has a ruthless streak.

"An essential ingredient for any royal incomer who plans to stay the course," Tessa concluded.
