Royal Rift: Kate's Alleged Lip Gloss Snub Sparks Feud
5 Aug
Summary
- Kate Middleton allegedly grimaced when Meghan Markle asked for lip gloss.
- The incident may have contributed to the widening rift between the couples.
- Harry misses his close relationship with Kate, viewing it as a great loss.
Royal expert Robert Jobson's 2024 biography, 'Catherine, the Princess of Wales: A Biography of the Future Queen,' details the evolving dynamics between the Prince and Princess of Wales and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Jobson suggests that as Meghan garnered significant public attention starting in July 2016, it may have caused discomfort and a sense of competition among William and Kate.
The expert recounts a specific incident where Meghan requested to borrow lip gloss from Kate. According to Jobson, Harry perceived Kate as reluctant to share, noting that she "grimaced" after Meghan applied the gloss. This alleged slight is presented as a symptom of growing discord.
These interpersonal tensions reportedly contributed to the estrangement between the royal brothers, Harry and William, and the women. Prince Harry is said to deeply regret the loss of his close relationship with Kate, a sentiment royal author Tom Quinn described as his "second great loss after losing his mother."
As of July of an unspecified year prior to the current date, the foursome remained estranged. Harry, Meghan, and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, visited the UK during this period, but no reunion occurred.
