Royal expert thinks Kate Middleton is threatened by Meghan Markle for one reason

Could Kate Middleton feel threatened by Meghan Markle?

We’re not sure there’s any truth in this particular viewpoint but according to one royal expert, Kate Middleton could feel intimidated by the former Suits actress.

Why so?

Well, Carole Malone, a broadcaster and journalist, is of the opinion that the Duchess of Cambridge could have been “put out” when Meghan first started dating Prince Harry.

Carole believes that because Kate would have been the centre of attention before Meghan joined the royal family, she might have been disgruntled when all of a sudden, the limelight was on the Hollywood star.

This is in stark contrast to reports that Kate isn’t a fan of constant public attention and prefers to stay out of the limelight when possible.

Kate V Meghan: Princesses At War? is a Channel 5 programme concentrating on the two women and Carole was one of the royal experts who contributed to the show.

According to The Express, she said:

“I think Kate would very definitely be threatened by Meghan’s presence and her appearance on the royal scene.

“I do think if you had been the top dog, if you had been the young gorgeous girl that everyone had been photographing for the last two or three or four years. You might be a little bit put out when this gorgeous, American, Hollywood star arrives on the scene”.

Carole went on to say that they are very different characters and come from very different backgrounds but again that doesn’t mean that they can’t get along together.

There have been rumours of a feud between the pair for a number of months now but it’s thought that this was put to bed over Christmas, amid reports that the Queen became frustrated with the two women not speaking to each other.

They spend a lot of time together over Christmas including a Christmas Day public appearance and they’re thought to be getting along, just fine now as you’ll see here.
