OR Kate Middleton He gave “exams” to the palace and passed them excellently. He proved that she can meet the demands of royal life, discreetly consolidating her position. OR Megan MarkleOn the contrary, it caused tensions and was charged with Prince Harry’s removal from the palace and moving to Los Angeles.
The only common point between Kate Middleton and Megan Markle is that two brothers were married. Otherwise their differences are chaotic.
Former Kensington palace employee argues that Kate Middleton is “Much stronger personality than Megan Markle in many areas”as, despite the fact that both were targets of the same criticism by the “snobbers”, Kate has always been willing to advice, as opposed to Megan.
When, for example, Kate Middleton and Megan Markle entered the royal family, although they came from different parts of the world, they were faced with the same, familiar problems. As both came from middle -class families, they faced malicious comments From the courtyards behind the closed doors, as mentioned in a royal book.
A former member of the palace staff told the royal writer Tom Quinn that, although both women had to manage these difficulties, Kate did better because “it is actually much stronger than Megan in many areas”.
“Kate has always been willing to hear tips, both from the inferior staff, with whom he had excellent relationships, and by the courtiers, even if some of them initially treated it,” He mentioned typically for Quinn Yes’s book, Ma’am: The Secret Life Of Royal Servants, released in March.
“It was the same kind of irony and gossip criticism that Megan faced. But what Megan saw as pressure and devaluation, Kate perceived it as an integral part of being a member of the royal family. “
Why did Kate “tied” and Megan not?
According to the same source, the Megan thought he “knew better” From an institution that has been in a thousand years, while Kate has never adopted this attitude.
According to a person very close to Queen Elizabeth, as mentioned in Quinn’s book, the palace began to worry when it became clear that Megan had her own plans On what her life would be like as a working member of the royal family – plans that did not fit the protocol.
He added that Megan did not seem to understand that when you joined the royal family, “You don’t do whatever you want, but what they tell you.”
A former palace employee claimed that Megan had said: ‘What Diana started, I want to complete itBut adding that he wanted to pursue the charity work of the late princess.
«It really had a “Messiah” cluster “, She said a former Palace member in Quinn, pointing out that the Duchess was focused on how she would become the most beloved and recognizable member of the royal family – but wanted to do so on her own terms.
His attitude ‘Megan knows better’ It seems to have annoyed the staff at the Kensington Palace. “They do not tolerate one coming from the United States and trying to change things – as they are terrible snobs.”
Elsewhere in Tom Quinn’s book, it is described that, although Megan was described by some as “the difficult Duchess”, he also had supporters. Others, more simply members of the staff, appreciated its militant and ambitious nature. Some even suggested that it was more of a “different Duchess”.
He was elegant, an activist, a representative of women in the United Nations and a proponent of gender equality. He also supported the #MeToo movement, encouraging women to “use their voice”.
However, the way she promoted her ideas caused reactions. Quinn describes how Kensington’s staff was divided into two camps – “in favor of Megan” and “against Megan” – and the atmosphere was filled with rumors, gossip and intrigues.
According to the author’s sources, Megan developed a particularly close relationship with a young staff member, which was considered inappropriate by senior members of the royal family. Megan is also alleged to feel bitter, as William, as a successor to the throne, seemed to be better treated by staff than Harry.
The transition from Hollywood to Royal Life was very difficult for Megan. No one said it is easy to get married and find your role in the royal family. Diana was very young, Sarah Ferguson is overly strong and even Kate had difficulty developing a middle -aged girl in a princess.
However, Kate did better as the palace staff told Quinn that she followed a much more careful approach. A former member of the staff stated characteristically: “Kate is Megan Markle without the” Messiah syndrome “.”
Other testimonies from former employees say Megan was focused on becoming the most famous and beloved member of the royal family.
‘It was incredible – He was so confident. He believed very much in “I grab the bull from the horns” – only that the royal family is not exactly a bull, “said a former palace official.
Another added: “Megan believed that she knew better than an institution that has been operating for over 1,000 years.”
These testimonies explain Because Megan had so hard in royal life.
What did Kate did differently and went out to her good
Years ago, and she had a difficult time with the transition. But, according to the palace of the palace to the royal journalist Quinn, Kate approached her new life much more carefully than American Megan.
The staff described Kate as “someone who” slowly “and carefully the atmosphere of a space, the relationships between people and the rules.” They are not one of the people who “rush immediately trying to change everything in their own way of thinking.”
On the contrary, he decided to waits and to noticed First the behavior of others. But perhaps the most important difference in the two women’s approach to the royal life was that Kate was willing to be guided – not only by William, who wanted to protect her from the problems her mother, but also by the palace staff.
Her entry into the royal life was gradual, careful One would say, and at first its role was mainly supportive to Prince William.
Kate also knew when it was not worth fighting for something. He realized that there are things that cannot be changed.
The royal writer also argues that and George, Charlotte and Louis will learn – as their mother learned – that the basic values of the royal family are unchanged.
Megan, on the other hand, seemed determined to change these values when she entered the royal family – something that eventually resulted in failure. He was by the nature of the modernist, a person who wanted to bring changes and shake the establishment.
But when it comes to the royal family, those who follow the rules usually end up in a much better position.
Kate learned this lesson quickly, Megan no.
