How Kate Middleton & Meghan Markle ‘are on VERY different paths’ amid fallout & contrasting ways they use star power
The former BBC royal correspondent shared how the two women are using their star power in very different ways, particularly following Megxit and the Sussexes moving to California.
Jennie told Bella: “Catherine and Meghan are indeed two very different women and are now on very different paths.
“Everything Catherine does is to help others, the disadvantaged, the young, and now those suffering from cancer.
“It’s not for money, or fame or self-aggrandisement. It is to help people who are in trouble or difficulty and to do good.
“I believe Meghan is also using her star power to bring attention to certain causes and people who need help.
“The campaign that she and Harry have started to limit the dangers of the digital world to our children is admirable. But she is also very active in the commercial world.”
During her September announcement that she has finished her chemotherapy treatment, Kate said that she will be “undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months.”
The Princess of Wales has undergone two recent official visits following her announcement that she has finished her chemotherapy treatment.
The first was meeting cancer-stricken 16-year-old Liz Hatton, and the second was sitting down with victims of the Southport attack.
Meanwhile, we saw the Duchess of Sussex looking glamorous in a recycled red dress on the red carpet at the LA Children’s Hospital gala earlier this month.
The swanky appearance was Meghan’s first solo venture in months.
Meanwhile, Meghan’s upcoming ventures include a Netflix cooking show about friendship and her lifestyle brand American Orchard Riviera.
Jennie insisted that there was nothing wrong with Meghan pursuing a more commercial route following stepping back as a senior working royal in 2020.
The royal commentator added: “There is nothing wrong with that – Harry and Meghan were quite transparent when they left the royal family that they wanted the freedom to earn their living in the commercial world, so we should not be surprised when we see her building her brand.”
Tense friendship
The royal wives have had a number of alleged moments of tension of the years, including Meghan telling Oprah Winfrey Kate that made her cry just days before her wedding.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry recalled in his bombshell memoir Spare that the women had a bust-up after Meghan made a comment about Kate’s hormones.
During an interview with The Cut, Meghan was asked if she thought there was hope of a reconciliation between her and the rest of the royal family.
Meghan said: “I think forgiveness is really important. It takes a lot more energy to not forgive.
“But it takes a lot of effort to forgive.
“I’ve really made an active effort, especially knowing that I can say anything.
“I have a lot to say until I don’t. Do you like that? Sometimes, as they say, the silent part is still part of the song.”
