For one, the press thoroughly dissected the differences between Meghan and any other womanHarry had dated.
In reality, the ladies had quite a bit in common.
To begin with, they’re just five months apart in age (viaCheatsheet).

Admittedly, it seemed like the two got along pretty well at the beginning.
Meghan was initially welcomed into the royal family with open arms, as far as the public knew.
All of it came to a head with claims of a confrontation between Meghan and Kate.

The women allegedly got into an argument about flower girl dresses for the royal wedding.
Kate’s daughter, Princess Charlotte, was a flower girl.
[I didn’t make Kate cry]," she told Oprah during the interview (viaElle).

“No, no, the reverse happened.
To just take accountability for it.”
“[Kate’s] a good person.

And if you love her, you don’t need to hate me.”
Still, there was a definite feeling of iciness between the once-beloved “Fab Four.”
She rode in a carriage with Harry, Kate, and Camilla (viaMarie Claire).
“Kate is furious about the larger workload.
Certainly, Kate and William seemed cold toward Meghan and Harry during their very last royal engagement together.
At the March 2020 Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey, the couples arrived and left separately.
There was an awkward greeting, and no other talk between the couples (viaInsider).
These days, it seems the issues are more betweenHarry and Williamthan Meghan and Kate.
