00:00 A company had approached me and they basically just wanted to do MeghanMarkle.com.
00:05 Insiders are saying that Meghan Markle felt she was more qualified than Kate Middleton
00:09 to speak on charitable matters.
00:11 Yep, that is quite the claim.
00:13 Yeah, extraordinary.
00:14 I'm sure you're experiencing the same.
00:16 Source tells The Telegraph that Meghan believed her background in philanthropy granted her
00:20 a greater authority to address certain issues compared to Princess Kate.
00:24 For me, it's very important to meeting with the right organizations behind the scenes
00:28 quietly.
00:29 One insider added that upon joining the royal family, the Duchess of Sussex felt she could
00:33 share her wisdom and teach the royal family a thing or two about charity.
00:37 Meghan was also allegedly uncomfortable with the Prince and Princess of Wales holding a
00:41 higher status in the palace hierarchy.
00:44 You'll often hear people say, "Well, you're helping women find their voices."
00:48 And I fundamentally disagree with that.
00:50 So now this is where the claims get even nastier.
00:52 As we know, Meghan was an actress prior to joining the royal family.
00:56 So sources say that Meghan felt like she was a self-made woman, having built a career for
01:00 herself before Prince Harry.
01:02 Whereas she felt Kate hadn't really had her own career.
01:05 So the source said, "She seemed to feel like she had more of a right to speak than her
01:09 sister-in-law, who had married into the family as an unknown, whereas Meghan regarded herself
01:14 as a philanthropist."
01:15 Wow, you're pretty.
01:16 Good.
01:17 You hit on me.
01:18 We can get it out of the way that I'm not interested.
01:20 No, I'm sorry.
01:21 I wasn't hitting on you.
01:22 Trust me.
01:23 I hope these comments are true.
01:24 It shouldn't be a contest for who's more charitable, and that's kind of what it feels
01:28 like.
01:29 And second, I think it's unfair to discredit someone's success like that, especially considering
01:32 Prince William and Princess Kate met in college.
01:34 So majority of her adulthood has been spent with him.
01:38 Not to mention, success means different things to different people.
01:40 However, these allegations are simply from a royal insider and not the royal family.
01:45 Who knows what was really said, if anything at all.
01:48 Now we know there's been rumblings about a feud between Meghan and Kate over the years.
01:52 Omid Scobie previously wrote in his book, Finding Freedom, that Kate did not establish
01:56 a meaningful relationship with Meghan.
01:59 Reports also suggested that Meghan received a lukewarm reception from a more formal William
02:04 and Kate as a relationship with Prince Harry became serious.
02:08 So in Harry's book, Spare, he mentioned that when he first introduced Meghan to his brother,
02:13 Kate remained in the garden.
02:14 So that wasn't exactly the warm welcome that they had anticipated.
02:17 Of course, Omid's latest book, Endgame, Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy's Fight
02:22 for Survival, makes even more comments about the apparent royal rift.
02:26 Harry and Meghan are currently facing a lot of backlash as they stay silent on some of
02:30 the more explosive accusations published, specifically regarding the comments two royals
02:35 allegedly made about their son, Archie.
02:38 So Meghan and Harry previously made these claims to Oprah during their 2021 Tell All
02:42 interview.
02:43 Meghan said there were conversations in the palace about Archie's skin colour.
02:51 However, they did not mention by name who made these comments.
02:55 But the Dutch version of Scobie's book revealed that the two royals were King Charles and
02:59 Kate Middleton, allegedly.
03:01 This allegation was only in the Dutch version and since it was released, Omid has apparently
03:05 insisted that he did not include the names.
03:08 So I'm not exactly sure what happened there, but these are some serious accusations.
03:11 The Royal Family has yet to publicly comment on any of the stories in the Endgame, which
03:16 is a business as usual approach for the firm, but apparently legal action is not off the
03:21 table.
03:22 According to sources, the final decision to take legal action lies with King Charles and
03:26 he apparently will not act hastily.
03:28 Sources close to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex tell the Daily Mail that Meghan never intended
03:33 for King Charles and Princess Kate to be identified in the book.
03:37 So what are your thoughts?
03:38 Is it time for Harry and Meghan to address these allegations?
03:41 And do you think the backlash that they're getting is warranted?
03:43 Let us know in the comments below.
