Dreaming of Vegan Christmas

a victim of some sort of sick British sport where you put someone on a pedestal then throw as many stones as you can to knock them off.

“All this is happening when she’s expecting her first child and, instead of support, Thomas is horrified that she’s getting nothing but flak.

“He says, ‘They’re nothing but snobs and their behaviour is a disgrace’.”

Stories leaked include alleged rows between Meghan and the Queen, and with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, leaving Kate “in tears”. Yesterday it was claimed Meghan clashed with the Queen after asking for Windsor Chapel to be sprayed with air freshener before her wedding.

It’s time for the complainer­s to back off, says royal biographer Christophe­r Wilson. He said: “Meghan needs time to settle into what for her is a completely alien culture.”

The problem, he said, is that the royal family still has many employees who want things done the old-fashioned way and object to a new broom.

Veteran royal watcher Phil Dampier, author of Royally Suited, Harry and Meghan In Their Own Words, said : “We tend to forget that Meghan is older than Kate, William and Harry and has an inner confidence from her acting career.

“The bottom line is that the royals are like the rest of us and all families have their ups and

downs!” THE DUKE and Duchess of Cambridge could miss out on roast turkey this Christmas after Kate’s mother Carole Middleton revealed she has gone vegan.

William and Kate are expected to leave the traditiona­l royal gathering at Sandringha­m early to join the Middleton family in Berkshire. A friend explained: “It will be a chance for Kate’s baby Louis to spend time with Pippa’s baby son Arthur.”

But there could be drama at the dinner table after Carole, 63, revealed in an interview to plug her Party Pieces business yesterday that she has recently gone vegan and flexitaria­n, where followers eat only ethically and sustainabl­y raised food.

Although the duchess is happy to eat vegetarian, William is said to be a big carnivore. A family friend said: “He was a keen terrier man at fox-hunting, a crack shot at deer stalking and an enthusiast­ic grouse man. A nut cutlet might be a stretch for him.”
