Shortly after it was announced that Meghan and Harry were dating a Toronto-based, online gossip columnist who Meghan knew, published a blind saying snobbish Kate had refused to give Meghan lift from Kensington Palace to the shops when she was going shopping also. Although this was written on a no-names basis, it was clear it related to Kate and Meghan, and it was later repeated by Omid Scobie in Finding Freedom - presumably sourced directly from Meghan.
When Meghan left the UK Meghan in early 2020 a story was placed with the Press, and credited to a “friend”, saying:
“[Meghan] said [their last trip back to the UK as working royals] has been a confirmation that they made the right choice in parting ways. There's no warmth between the family members and she wants to raise Archie in a household that is filled with laughter and joy and lots of hugs,' a close friend of Meghan told DailyMail.com. It's still weird to her that no one hugs and that everyone is so uptight, especially Kate“
Meghan said in the Oprah interview about the bridesmaid dress incident that “I would have never wanted that to come out about [Kate] ever, even though it had happened. I protected that from ever being out in the world”. Which was spectacularly ironic given she was indeed now bringing up the incident in front of the global media, when she knew her sister in law could never reply (and brilliantly worded, insinuating that it was something so serious that it needed to be “protected”). The whole “Kate made me cry” story was also repeated in Meghan’s interview in The Cut magazine just before the Queen’s death (and of course featured heavily in Spare).
Meghan also brought up the “Waitey Katey” label in her Oprah interview as mentioned above and insinuated that that was the extent of the mistreatment Katherine received from the press, completely minimising all the harassment, abuse and inversions of privacy her sister in law did have to live through for 10 years.
Meghan said that she wouldn’t let her children go to school in the UK because she is “a good and strong parent protecting her child” the week before the Cambridge children all started a new school in the UK.
In her first podcast she said “You can pretend to be the perfect version like a Stepford wife and still have the exact same outcome as someone who is being authentically truly themselves and wouldn’t you rather live with a version of yourself where you can look in the mirror at night?” - widely taken to be a reference to her sister in law.
Omid Scobie delivered several barbs in Finding Freedom and noted that “the Sussexes don’t want servants, they’ve so relaxed and hands on!” versus the Cambridges who have a home “filled with staff” - and said that the Sussexes looked at their lifestyle and it was exactly what they didn’t want.
In the Netflix documentary we are told Kate was formal and not a hugger, and was cold behind the scenes as well as in public.
And all of this was before Spare and the various anecdotes about Kate in there - again, cold, made Meghan cry over the dresses, was insufficiently enthusiastic about sharing her lipgloss etc etc, etc.
Kate I don’t believe has said a single thing publicly about her sister in law. A poster upthread did noted Kate’s “coldness” towards Meghan during the walkabout, however. In fairness therefore it’s probably worth mentioning there’s several photos of Meghan looking absolute daggers at her sister in law when the Sussexes were working Royals.
Well done Kate for being willing to be seen out with her in public indeed.
