More than ever at the forefront of the British monarchy, Kate Middleton does what it takes to make the Firm do well. Adored by her father-in-law Charles III, the Princess of Wales is considered one of the public’s favorite members of the royal family. A perfect and committed image that the journalist Omid Scobie has somewhat scratched with the Sunday Times and relayed by The Mirror, this Sunday, November 26. In this interview, the relative of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle assured that the wife of Prince William was “too terrified to do anything other than smiling photo shoots”. “In the media coverage of Kate, we massively infantilize itso the bar is always lower”said the author of the book Endgameavailable in bookstores from December 1st.
During this interview, Omid Scobie then described the commitments of the mother as “small achievements”. Actions “greeted” by the British press Who “might not have been noticed if they were from another member of the royal family.”said the journalist in his new book. “But with Kate, it’s like, ‘Wow!’”, he added. An opinion that Robert Lacey will most certainly contest. In an interview given to Madame Figaro in September 2021, the historian assured that Kate Middleton has “a decisive role in the actions of the royal family”.

Kate Middleton “cold” towards Meghan Markle? These shattering revelations
In his latest work, Omid Scobie multiply the blows towards Kate Middleton. After having criticized the role of the Princess of Wales within the royal family, the journalist pointed the finger his unfriendly behavior towards his sister-in-law, Meghan Markle. As soon as the Duchess of Sussex arrived within the Firm, the mother of George, Charlotte and Louis almost immediately adopted an attitude “cold” from his view.
To support his remarks, Omis Scobie argued that the future heir to the throne made fun of Lilibet and Archie’s mother by calling her “Royal Stepford Wife” (a dig in reference to the book The Stepford Wifes, editor’s note) and “the last flashy thing from the monarchy for many years to come.” Unlike Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton would have been appreciated by Elizabeth II because of her ease of being coached and because she “never challenged the system with public struggles or excessive aspirations”. New statements which, a year after the release of Prince Harry’s memoirs, risk shake the walls of Buckingham Palace.
