Royals Are Separated! Princess Catherine’s AWKWARD Moment Leaves Her In Heartbreaking Tears
Royals Are Separated! Princess Catherine’s Awkward Moment Leaves Her in Heartbreaking Tears
The British royal family has been the subject of numerous media reports, with their every move closely watched by the public. Over the last two years, the rift between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the rest of the royal family has grown deeper, with events like TV shows, court cases, a near-catastrophic car chase, and personal revelations from books amplifying the tension. With so much public drama, one quiet, yet significant, interaction between Princess Catherine (Kate Middleton) and Meghan Markle might have slipped under the radar.
The Last Public Appearance Together?
Many believe that Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral marked the final time Princess Catherine and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, will ever appear side by side in public. The two women, once linked by their royal titles and family connections, now seem worlds apart, both figuratively and geographically. The tension between the two was evident, as they barely interacted. Some speculate that this may be the last photo of the two women together.
With Meghan having stepped back from royal duties and embraced a life in the U.S., it’s hard to imagine when they would next meet in public. Some wonder if the only event that could bring them together again is King Charles’ eventual funeral. But even that seems unlikely, given recent royal events where Harry and Meghan were placed further from the main royal group, both physically and symbolically. At Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, Harry sat in the second row, and at King Charles’ coronation, he was seated even further back, raising questions about his position within the family.
A Surprise Move by William and Catherine
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Prince William and Princess Catherine are expanding their efforts in the U.S. They have lodged a bid to secure a trademark focusing on mental health projects. This move could potentially overlap with the work Meghan and Harry have been doing through their Archewell Foundation, which also champions mental health.
Sources close to Meghan suggest that she was “shocked” upon hearing this news. The Sussexes have carved out a space for themselves in the U.S., and Meghan reportedly feels that William and Catherine are now stepping onto their turf. However, palace insiders have downplayed these concerns, calling the trademark move “internal housekeeping” and emphasizing that it has no bearing on Meghan and Harry’s projects.
While this development may signal a growing presence for the Prince and Princess of Wales in America, it also comes at a time of personal recovery for Catherine, who has faced a challenging few years amid the ongoing family tension.
Revisiting Old Wounds: The Tears Before the Wedding
To understand the current state of affairs between the royal women, it’s essential to look back at the rumors that have swirled for years. One of the most prominent stories involves Meghan allegedly making Catherine cry ahead of her wedding to Prince Harry. The details of the incident have been debated, but it’s clear that this moment marked the beginning of their strained relationship.
The last time the two women were seen attempting to put on a public display of unity was in July 2019. Since then, their relationship has only grown colder. By March 2020, during the Commonwealth Day service, they didn’t even look at each other, let alone speak. The once united front the royal family tried to present to the world was starting to unravel, and this event made it clear that the distance between the two women had grown.
A Subtle, Awkward Moment at Queen Elizabeth’s Funeral
One of the most telling moments of the current rift occurred during Queen Elizabeth II’s committal service. As the royal family approached their seats, a small but significant incident played out between Catherine and Meghan. Prince William, leading his family, directed his eldest son, Prince George, to pause as they waited to take their seats. However, Princess Catherine, seemingly unaware of the need to wait, began walking down the aisle before being stopped by William.
At this moment, Catherine had to step back, allowing Prince Harry and Meghan to pass. The princess’s brief hesitation and subtle shuffle to let Meghan through did not go unnoticed by the public. Social media buzzed with comments on the awkwardness of the moment, which highlighted the tense atmosphere surrounding the royal family during the event. In the polished and regal setting of the funeral, this awkward interaction between two of the most prominent royal women stood out.
The Consequences of Public Criticism
Since Meghan and Harry stepped back from royal duties, much of their public commentary has been critical of the royal family, particularly in interviews and documentaries. Meghan’s revelations about the difficulties she faced as a member of the royal family, including her strained relationship with Catherine, have had lasting repercussions.
The once-close bond between the brothers, William and Harry, is now fractured, and the tension between their wives only deepens the divide. Reports suggest that King Charles is more open to rebuilding his relationship with Harry than William is, though it remains to be seen how this will play out in the future.
Emotional Message from Princess Catherine
In a poignant moment this week, Prince William shared an emotional message from his wife, Princess Catherine. The timing of this message coincided with Prince Harry’s brief return to the U.K. for a charity event, further highlighting the contrasting paths the brothers and their families are taking.
While Harry was attending an awards ceremony honoring seriously ill children and their families, Catherine’s message reflected the emotional toll the ongoing family rift has taken on her. The royal family may present a united front during public appearances, but beneath the surface, the emotional impact of these fractured relationships is evident.
What Lies Ahead for the Royal Family?
As the royal family continues to navigate their new roles and relationships, it’s unclear whether reconciliation is possible between Prince Harry and his family, or between Catherine and Meghan. What is clear, however, is that the ongoing tension shows no signs of easing. The public may never see the two women in the same room again, and the awkward moment at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral may remain one of the last glimpses into their fraught relationship.
