Kate Middleton Has Reportedly Been ‘in a Panic’ Since Harry and Meghan Stepped Down
Since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped down as senior royals, we haven’t heard much about how things are going between them and Kate Middleton…until now. Unfortunately, if you believe Us Weekly, it’s not such a positive update. According to the publication’s sources, Markle and Middleton haven’t spoken since the news and “couldn’t be further apart.” Oof.
Perhaps that’s because Markle and Prince Harry’s (justifiable) exit means a lot more work for the Duchess of Cambridge. On top of being a mother of three, Middleton is reportedly working 18-hour days. For context, that’s 10 hours more than us 9-to-5-ers. (Sorry about the math.)
“Kate’s in a panic and has been having bouts of anxiety,” the source tells Us Weekly. “She barely has time to rest, and when she does try to sleep, her mind is constantly racing.”
With Middleton’s philanthropic work, royal duties, and photography side hustle, she’s got a lot on her plate. “She’s already stretched pretty thin,” the insider continued, “and now she’s really worried about how she’ll juggle the extra workload on top of her family life.”
To be fair, the grass isn’t so green on the other side for Markle and Prince Harry. According to TMZ, the couple’s stepback has come with unforeseen consequences. The two are reportedly “shocked” that they’ve lost their roles as youth ambassadors to the commonwealth (this was, allegedly, part of the deal they made with Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles as part of their stepping down).
Markle and Prince Harry were prepared to stop using their royal titles when they moved to Canada, but the ambassadorship was apparently very important to the couple. Meghan picked up the role before the wedding and had flowers of all 53 commonwealth nations embroidered on her wedding dress. Still, the queen supposedly “drew a hard line in the sand,” and the pair ultimately agreed.
I don’t know about you, but I’m hoping when the dust settles, Kate Middleton, Prince William, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle can put all this behind them. In a perfect world, they will form a family band and tour the countryside, and all the haters won’t. Be. Invited.
Yup!
