"Kate's Rebranding Masterclass May Finally See off Meghan"

639 replies

"Five months since she moved up to the second tier of the monarchy, the Princess has started beefing up her top team to make sure she succeeds not only with her “life’s work” on child development, but also with the task of besting Meghan Markle."

Why does Meghan have to look bad for Kate to look good? Why does Meghan need to be bested or seen off? Why is it a competition?

You tell us - your knowledge of Meghan is quite awesome.

SingingSands · 08/02/2023 14:16

Journos touting the same old narrative of "woman vs woman".

Sigh.

I am not sure what they are trying to achieve with this but it's a bad look for Kate.

If it's a competition then it's rather one-sided, Meghan left ages ago!

It's like Kate's only just realised she's got to do work.

I don't think it's intended that way but this makes it look as though Meghan is the standard, which is quite embarrassing for Kate given that Kate was in the family for more than 10 years before Meghan joined, Meghan was there for all of 24 months, and, more importantly, as you say, she has left.

Equally, why does Kate have to look bad for Meghan to look good in some people’s eyes. The whole thing is silly 🤷‍♀️

MoChridhe · 08/02/2023 14:32

Meghan is THE list

WhatAmIDoingWrong123 · 08/02/2023 14:34

Meghan and Harry have character assassinated her. What did you expect her to do?

PerfectYear321 · 08/02/2023 14:36

Embarrassing and pathetic

Ponderingwindow · 08/02/2023 14:36

Only journalist spin is presenting this as a competition.

Could it not be the kids ages?

The youngest is 4 now so I think started school -and I know she has help but I also think she was more hands on than others in that family and IRL I know many mothers who waited till youngest were settled at school to start new jobs up hours or add re-training.

i missed that apart from the lip gel. what did they say?

BellatrixLestrangesHeatedCurlers · 08/02/2023 14:44

Wow Duchess Dolittle (the queen's nn, not mine) is finally going to do some work? Yeah right.

MrsMaxDeWinter · 08/02/2023 14:47

One of the reasons I am happy Harry and Meghan are out of the Royal Family is that if they had not left, their children would have become the scapegoats of the next generation.

The press would have pit them against their older cousins, especially Charlotte and Lili, so they are well out of it.

Catherine is going to be Queen - she doesn’t need to worry about meagain - if the worst they have is she wasn’t keen to share her lip gloss or go shopping with the blow in

Rhondaa · 08/02/2023 15:06

You mustn't be believe everything you read in the papers. As if Catherine needs to try and 'best' anyone, especially someone who predominantly works for Netflix. It's a non starter.

Scapegoats? I think Harry should have asked Auntie Anne to give Meghan some insight as to how she should behave. I have some respect for her, and for Sophie who married a younger son. They know they’re privileged, work hard (and often quietly) and do not behave like spoiled children. Their children have good lives, mainly out of the royal spotlight.

Harry & family could have had the same.

shard5 · 08/02/2023 15:16

It's more the fact that all three children are now in school so she has more time for engagements without the mum guilt.
Don't believe everything you read in the papers.

Agree. They're going to do it anyway, wait till the girls start hitting around 15. I just hope the girls become friends.

pristinesurfacesGBTD · 08/02/2023 15:38

So long as Catherine doesn't write twee messages on banana skins she'll be fine

That seems the most rational explanation, unfortunately lots of people seem irrational when it comes to the RF. That's on both sides by the way.

Why would they? Have they ever pitted William against Peter or Eugenie against Zara.Did they ever pit Anne against Princess Margaret's daughter (Sarah I think) not sure why it is so crazy about this generation.

Why do people read OpEds basically about gossip and treat them as truth?

but that was already out there.
I thought maybe there was something new as the word "assassination" was used
