Meghan Markle made some comments in her old blog The Tig about Prince William and Princess Kate’s wedding years before she met her husband, Prince Harry.
The Duchess of Sussex used to run her lifestyle blog and in an old post, she mentioned the “endless conversation about Princess Kate” and the “pomp” around the royal wedding when the now Prince and Princess of Wales were tying the knot in 2011, writes The Mirror.
After interviewing Princess Alia Al-Senussi, who is a member of Libyan royalty, Meghan wrote in her blog: “Little girls dream of being princesses. I, for one, was all about She-Ra, Princess of Power.
“For those of you unfamiliar with the ‘80s cartoon reference, She-Ra is 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.”
However, at that time, Meghan didn’t know that seven years later she would be having a royal wedding of her own. Sharing her thoughts in her controversial interview with Oprah in 2021, Meghan said she went into the royal family “naively” when she started dating Harry in 2016 and they went on to get married two years later on 19 May, 2018.
Speaking during the explosive interview, Meghan said: “I didn’t grow up knowing much about the royal family. It wasn’t something that was part of conversation at home. It wasn’t something that we followed.
“I didn’t fully understand what the job was. So much so, in fact, that Meghan admitted that she had to swiftly perfect the art of curtsying before she met Queen Elizabeth II for the first time at the Royal Lodge in Windsor.”
It comes as Kate has been at the centre of public attention and was forced to issue a public apology for digitally editing a photo of herself and her children released to mark Mother’s Day last week.
