Kate & Megs on the Outs?

- ANNE MARIE SCANLON

Royal news now. The bit between “the wedding” and “the royal birth” has traditiona­lly been filled with tales of royals at handbags. And as tradition demands, the tabloids are full of “the feud” between Kate and Meghan, and the wedge they’ve apparently driven between Wills and Harry.

Whether or not there is any truth to the rumours, it would be surprising if Kate & Megs were best buds.

They are two very different women with little in common. Kate has spent her entire adult life as a royal WAG. Meghan, meanwhile, was very much the star of her own show. To suddenly become part of a ‘pecking order’, and not at the top either, must be difficult.

Then there’s the families. The middle-class Middletons have held their respective tongues and (apart from Uncle Gary), kept the side up. The Markles, on the other hand, cannot shut up and could lower the tone on The Jerry Springer Show.
