The ongoing drama engulfing the British royal family has taken another turn, with sources close to Kensington Palace revealing a former employee’s outrage over the alleged impact the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s actions have had on Catherine, Princess of Wales.
Many remember Kate Middleton as the ever-smiling, poised figure who seamlessly transitioned from commoner to future queen. However, whispers within royal circles suggest that behind the facade lies a woman increasingly caught in the crossfire of the ongoing feud between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and the institution she represents.
“The staff are heartbroken,” confided our source, echoing the sentiments of many former employees. “They see how much Kate has given to the monarchy, how tirelessly she works for it, and now she is being collateral damage in this war.”
This isn’t just mere gossip; there’s data to back up these claims. A recent study by British social research institute YouGov found that public perception of Catherine has taken a dip since Harry and Meghan’s departure from royal duties.
While the Duchess of Cambridge enjoys consistently high approval ratings, experts suggest this decline – however slight — could be attributed to the ongoing negative press surrounding the Royal Family, stemming partially from the Sussexes’ criticisms.
The source further elaborated: “Kate has always been incredibly private and dedicated to her family and charitable work. She never wanted to be dragged into any public feuds. It’s deeply unfair that she’s being targeted simply because of who she married.”
Indeed, much of the criticism leveled at Kate revolves around comparisons drawn by the Sussexes – often subtly, sometimes overtly – between Catherine’s experience as a royal and Meghan’s. This has led to speculation that Kate’s initial reluctance to speak out against the accusations may be perceived as tacit acceptance or complicity.
What does this mean for the future of the monarchy? Can Catherine continue to navigate this treacherous landscape while maintaining her own dignity and public image?
