New photos have emerged that allegedly sparked a feud between Meghan Markle and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall. The pictures were taken during Markle's visit to London's National Theatre in March 2020, shortly after she and Prince Harry left their royal duties behind. The tension reportedly arose when Markle insisted on posting the photos online, despite being asked by senior royals to wait and not overshadow Camilla's planned speech on domestic violence. The incident has once again highlighted the ongoing clashes between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family.
The photos that ignited the feud
The images in question show Meghan Markle in a white blouse with chiffon puffed sleeves and a pencil skirt, as she explores the National Theatre's Immersive Storytelling Studio. According to reports, Camilla was said to be "very upset" by the photos, feeling overshadowed by Markle's presence.
Defying the request
Despite being asked by senior royals to wait, Meghan Markle insisted on uploading the photos to her Sussex Royal account on the same day as her visit. The move was seen as a direct snub to Camilla, who was scheduled to give a speech on domestic violence. The incident highlights the ongoing clashes between the Sussexes and other members of the royal family.
Expert weighs in
Royal expert Duncan Larcombe commented on the situation, stating that it is understandable why Camilla would be "miffed" by the photos. He explained that there is an effort within the royal family to avoid diary clashes and members outshining each other on the same day. However, Larcombe also noted that clashes like these are bound to happen as Harry and Meghan continue to pursue their own work without considering the impact on the rest of the family.
Instagram controversy
Following the closure of the Sussex Royal Instagram account, Meghan Markle has been rumored to be making a comeback to social media. A suspected new Instagram account associated with her has already gained over 100k followers, despite not sharing any posts. Markle deleted her personal account when she became part of the royal family and later created a joint account with Prince Harry. However, they shut it down when they left the UK.
Surprise announcement
Harry and Meghan's decision to step down as senior royals took the rest of the family by surprise. The couple did not inform anyone about their plans, leaving the late Queen "disappointed." This incident, along with the recent feud over the National Theatre visit, further highlights the strained relationship between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family.
