Meghan Markle has just found herself being put on blast for her lack of ‘grace’ when compared to Kate Middleton who even pushed back her cancer admission in order to ensure her children were not in school when the news broke.

Showbiz Reporter Fran Winston said all this in a piece for the Express UK.

In her eyes Prince Harry is the same way, because they allegedly don't seem to understand that “having one foot in and one foot out of that privileged world isn't endearing them to the public.”

The author also highlighted how time and time again “they have insisted their children Archie and Lilbet are styled as Prince and Princess despite the fact that they are growing up in America and they have no desire to share them with the public.”

There are even instances, like the most recent Disney trip where Meghan posted images of the kids with their faces hidden. To Winston, it “seems a ridiculous dichotomy when she clearly aspires for them to have a public and royal life.”

The conversation didn’t end there though, because instead the author highlighted the vast difference between Meghan and Kate, given their status as private citizens before marriage to princes’ of the Royal Family.

“Yes, William and Catherine have security - as is proper for the future monarch and his family - yet they have always been family-oriented and down to earth, putting their children first in everything,” Winston pointed out.

But, “I can't imagine Meghan or Harry doing the same. Indeed, I feel if either of them had so much as stubbed a toe, they would sell the story to Netflix so they could cry about it and complain it was someone else's fault - while they pocket the money for their tell-all,” they added before signing off.
