Meghan Markle Accused of Trying to Overshadow Kate and William’s Wales Visit
Royal watchers are criticizing Meghan Markle, accusing her of trying to overshadow Prince William and Princess Kate’s recent visit to Wales — their first joint public appearance since Kate’s cancer diagnosis.
The backlash erupted after Meghan posted a behind-the-scenes video promoting her upcoming Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Some social media users claim the timing of her post was a deliberate attempt to steal attention from the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Kate and William were warmly welcomed by crowds during their visit, marking an important moment for the royal couple as Kate continues her recovery. However, online critics quickly accused Meghan of trying to “ruin” the occasion.
Podcast host Stephanie Sidley took to X (formerly Twitter) to suggest Meghan’s actions were intentional, writing:
“Meghan Markle just reposted this cringe video on her Instagram following posting and deletion. She surely intended to spoil the Prince and Princess of Wales’ first joint visit back to Wales following Catherine’s cancer diagnosis,” according to GB News.
Others agreed, saying Meghan’s efforts fell flat. One user commented:
“Nothing she can do will ever upstage Catherine and William.”
Another added:
“I’d rather see the Prince and Princess of Wales walk down a corridor hand in hand. Thanks!!”
Summing up the sentiment, a critic said:
“Meghan could hardly destroy anything the Waleses do. They are advocating for community, while she’s pushing pancake mix.”
The controversy highlights the ongoing tension between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family — and how closely royal fans are watching every move.
