Disgusting”: Meghan Markle accused of taking the focus from Kate Middleton as the princess made her regal return

Kate Middleton made her royal homecoming for Trooping the Colour on Saturday, following her cancer diagnosis in March.

The Princess of Wales appeared delighted as she waved to eager supporters on London’s streets. In a statement, she said she was open to attending further royal engagements later this summer.

While the royal family celebrates Kate’s and King Charles’ return to royal duty, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are nowhere to be found. According to reports, they were not even invited to the huge royal celebration, which may not have come as a surprise given what has happened.

Despite their absence, the Sussexes, particularly Meghan Markle, managed to gain attention. Just hours before Kate returned to public, the Duchess released a new product through her lifestyle company, which sparked accusations that she was stealing the Princess of Wales’ attention.

The speculation about Kate Middleton’s likely return to public life began more than a week ago. On Friday, the Princess of Wales announced the joyful news to the globe.

Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle were not great friends while serving as senior members of the royal family. What followed next, when the pair both left the royal family and later accused them of numerous things in interviews, the Netflix series and Harry’s book didn’t exactly improve their relationship, which is now reported to be at its lowest point.

Meghan Markle has been accused of once again attempting to take the attention from her former royal colleague. On Saturday, June 15, only hours before Trooping the Colour, Argentinian polo player Nacho Figuerasa, a close friend of Markle and Prince Harry, shared the Duchess’s brand’s new raspberry-flavored jam on Instagram Story. Many royal enthusiasts expressed their displeasure on social media due to the timing of the announcement.

“Try to steal the spotlight from the RF,” one X, previously known as Twitter, wrote, according to OK! Magazine. “Yet it is still shocking and disgusting.” A second individual commented, “Narcissism at its finest,” while a third said, “No.” Meghan will never outshine Princess Kate, not then, now, or ever.

A fourth individual remarked, “Who buys jam anyway? It is very simple to make at home with fresh fruit and plenty of sugar!”
