Kate Middleton is allegedly seething at Sophie, Countess of Wessex following the latter’s recent interview.
According to Woman’s Day, Sophie allegedly revealed during the interview that she and Meghan Markle had the chance to bond while the latter was still living in the United Kingdom.
Prince Edward’s wife also allegedly became a close confidante to Prince Harry’s wife during the 18 months that she carried out official duties for the royal family.
An unnamed source told the tabloid that Middleton was shocked to hear what Sophie said about Markle during her interview. After all, she and Sophie used to be very close.
“Kate was quite shocked by the soft tone Sophie took with Meghan, given how she treated the family. As far as Kate knew, Sophie was just as frustrated over having to take on more royal roles since Meg and Harry quit, so to hear about this sympathy was a little jarring,” the source said.
However, the claims made by the tabloid are incorrect. During her interview, Sophie didn’t say anything about Markle. Rather, she simply talked about her own experiences when she first joined the royal family.
For instance, the mom of two said that it took her five years to completely adjust to her life as a royal. Sophie also revealed that for her and Prince Edward’s six-month engagement, she was even staying at Buckingham Palace.
When Sophie was asked to comment on Prince Harry and Markle’s decision to quit and the claims that the Sussexes didn’t get any support from the royal family, she said that this isn’t the case.
According to Lady Louise’s mom, she and the other members of the royal family usually help any member of their clan.
While it is true that Middleton and Sophie are close, it is unlikely for the latter to publicly meddle in the former’s alleged feud with Markle. After all, Sophie has been staying out of the limelight since she married Prince Edward.
Even though she’s a senior working royal, she has been doing her royal duties quietly like her husband.
Meanwhile, Sophie also has a close relationship with Queen Elizabeth. According to E! News, one of the most obvious indications that the queen was fond of Sophie was the fact that she allowed her to stay at Buckingham Palace.
Years ago, Sophie told BBC that it was nerve-wracking to think that she would soon join the royal family. But she also she’s aware of her responsibilities, and she’s ready for what is to come.
