Kate has 'built up resentment' towards Meghan after Queen's death, says new book
ok.co.ukKate Middleton stayed behind in England as other members of the royal family rushed to Balmoral to be by the late Queen Elizabeth's deathbed in September last year.
Now royal biographer Robert Jobson has claimed that Kate had no choice but to remain behind in a bid to ensure that Meghan Markle would not join her husband Prince Harry at the Scottish estate.
In his new book Our King: Charles III: The Man and the Monarch Revealed, Robert writes that the Duke of Sussex was adamant that his wife would join him in Scotland, causing Charles to intervene and prevent this.The biographer claims that Charles asked Prince William not to bring Kate, telling him: "If Catherine doesn’t come, Meghan can’t either, it’s not appropriate for wives to attend." The segment of the book discussing this turn of events, reads: "Privately, he wanted to say Meghan was not welcome but he couldn’t say that to Harry so he personally intervened and asked Kate to stay back so that it was fairer on Meghan. "Kate deliberately stayed away but she desperately wanted to be there with the Queen in her last moments.That’s eaten Kate up and has built up resentment towards Meghan." In spite of this reported growing resentment, two days after the Queen's death the Waleses and the Sussexes made an appearance altogether to greet well-wishers and view the flowers left outside the gates of Windsor Castle.
At the time, the couple's joint appearance was reportedly said to have been William's idea to put on a united front which gave the impression that there was a sense of reconciliation.
