In recent weeks, Kensington Palace has been a whirlwind of drama surrounding Kate Middleton and Prince William.
The UK media’s double standards and hypocrisy are glaringly evident, especially when it comes to their treatment of Meghan Markle.
A striking example is a recent article from the Mirror that calls on Meghan to defend Kate amid a family photo crisis.
This raises eyebrows—why would Meghan, who has faced relentless bullying from the press, be expected to come to Kate’s aid now?
Consider this: Kate has never publicly defended Meghan during the years of harassment she endured.
So, why the sudden demand for Meghan to step in?
It appears that Kate has recently faced only minor criticism, and one can’t help but wonder if the apology issued was genuinely hers or merely a move orchestrated by William.
When the situation turned sour, it seemed William was quick to throw his wife under the bus, leaving Meghan to pick up the pieces of a royal mess she had no part in creating.
The irony here is palpable.
Meghan, who has been vilified by the UK media for nearly eight years, is now being asked to quell rumors about Kate’s situation.
It’s as if the press is trying to deflect attention from the real issues at hand within the royal family.
William, in particular, seems to be evading accountability, opting instead for deflection rather than facing the truth head-on.
Why should Meghan have to defend someone who stood by while she was attacked?
The hypocrisy runs deep.
Kate has been complicit in the media’s portrayal of Meghan, failing to correct false narratives that painted her sister-in-law in a negative light.
How can anyone expect Meghan to stand up for Kate, the same person who didn’t lift a finger when Meghan was bullied throughout her pregnancy?
It’s a classic case of turning the tables, asking the victim to defend the perpetrator.
Moreover, where are the voices of those closest to Kate?
Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and even King Charles have been notably silent during this turmoil.
If Kate’s family is so concerned, why aren’t they stepping up?
Instead, it seems the burden falls on Meghan—who has already been marginalized by that very family—to speak out.
William himself has previously stated that he won’t be bullied into defending Kate.
So, the question arises: why is there an expectation for Meghan to say something now?
If she were to comment, it’s likely she’d face backlash, accused of using the situation for her own public relations gain.
It seems a no-win scenario for Meghan, who might be better off remaining silent, just as the royal family did when she was under fire.
Let’s not forget Kate’s past remarks about walking alongside Meghan during the Queen’s funeral, which she described as the hardest thing she had ever done.
Now, with the tables turned, Kate seeks support from the very person she once allowed to be vilified.
This is a stark reminder of the complexities within royal relationships and the media’s role in shaping public perception.
Just days later, the Mirror published another article suggesting that Meghan and Harry have a golden opportunity to heal the rift within the royal family.
It’s almost comical how quickly the narrative shifts.
One moment, the Sussexes are unwelcome; the next, they’re seen as potential peacemakers.
It’s as if the media is scrambling to find a solution to the chaos that has enveloped the Windsors.
The reality is that the Sussexes have no obligation to step in and resolve the royal family’s issues.
The drama that has unfolded is a product of the Windsors’ own making.
They must confront their challenges without expecting Meghan and Harry to play the role of saviors.
The constant calls for Meghan to intervene seem less about Kate and more about protecting William, who has undeniably stirred the pot.
It’s worth noting that William has historically been the catalyst behind much of the turmoil.
His actions led to Meghan feeling isolated and ultimately leaving the UK.
Now, he wants the very individuals he pushed away to come back and defend him.
The hypocrisy is staggering, and it’s clear that Meghan has no reason to come to the aid of those who treated her poorly.
In the end, the royal family must grapple with the consequences of their actions.
They have created a narrative filled with conflict and resentment, and now they must navigate the fallout.
Meghan and Harry have moved on, and it’s time for the Windsors to do the same without dragging them back into the fray.
The Sussexes deserve the space to live their lives free from the burdens of royal drama.
