Pregnant Kate’s secret: Why is the Duchess silently delighted?
Could the Duchess of Cambridge be secretly delighted that Meghan Markle is so spectacularly stealing the limelight?
Given the current state of affairs, it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to imagine that the Duchess of Cambridge is feeling a little left out in the cold right now, with uber-glamorous Meghan Markle well on track to becoming ‘flavour of the moment’.
The media frenzy surrounding the beautiful American actress – whose ex-husband is film producer Trevor Engelson, the pair having divorced in 2013 – is so strong that we wouldn’t be surprised if a new Netflix series was announced with the working title Meghan: Making A Princess!
Since Kate, 35, was first revealed as William’s girlfriend in April 2004 (the couple were pictured skiing in Klosters), she has been the standout stylish female taking centre stage with the Royal Family. But now – particularly since Meghan’s engagement to Kate’s brother-in-law, Harry, 33, last month – Kate’s got serious competition, in the glam stakes at least, from the charismatic Suits star.
Indeed, Harry and 36-yearold Meghan are currently being touted as the epitome of a contemporary royal couple. They will happily do things like hold hands, indulge in back rubs, steal kisses and generally look lovey-dovey in public.
In comparison, Kate and William, also 35, have behaved in the far more traditional way that we have, so far, expected from our royals.
And it’s inevitable that Kate will be pitted against Meghan from time to time, as the world’s media focuses on the every move (and outfit!) of these two bright, ambitious young women.
Yet, there’s potentially a whole other side to this coin for Kate as the royal wedding approaches.
If recent images are anything to go by, Kate is actually far happier with her lot than people are giving
