The Princess of Wales reportedly became “tense” after realising that she was in constant competition with Meghan Markle.

Prince Harry discussed his sister-in-law in his memoir Spare – and shared how he believed she felt towards his wife, as reported by the Mirror.

He wrote that the 42-year-old found it difficult to be constantly compared to Meghan, who officially joined the Royal Family in 2018.

The royal reflected on a past appearance at the Royal Foundation Forum, writing: “Days later, controversy. Something about Meg showing support for #metoo, and Kate not showing support – via their outfits? I think that was the gist, though who can say? It wasn’t real.

“But I think that it had Kate on edge, while putting her and everyone else on notice that she was now going to be compared to, and forced to compete with, Meg.”
