It takes one to know one, right? There’s a new book that says when it comes to dealing with some of the tougher things that royals see on a daily basis behind the scenes, it’s Kate Middleton who is “much stronger of a person” than her sister-in-law Meghan Markle in many ways.
At least, that’s what author Tom Quinn reveals in his new book, “Yes Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants.”
He put it this way, “Kate is someone who slowly and carefully absorbs the atmosphere of a place, the relationship between people and the rules. She doesn’t jump in straight away and try to change everything to suit her way of thinking.”
“She bides her time and is very intelligent and intuitive about other people, what they do and how they behave. She was also coached — not just by William, who wanted Kate to avoid the problems his mother had encountered, but also by the staff.
Kate was always happy to accept advice both from the lower staff, with whom she got on very well, and from the courtiers, even though some of them were initially very snooty about her.”
“It was the same kind of backbiting gossipy criticism that Meghan had to put up with, but Kate is actually a much stronger person than Meghan in many ways. Yet what Meghan saw as Kate being pushed around, Kate saw as an essential part of being a member of the royal family.”
The Princess Of Wales Is Tougher
As you can imagine, the internet certainly did have a lot to say about this matter.
Some have even taken to social media to write comments such as, “I think both Meghan and Kate are very strong, but in vastly different ways. Kate knows what she wants and will stop at nothing to get it.”
“She’s figured out a passive-aggressive way to survive in that zero-sum game, she’s near her goal and she’ll step on anybody who gets in the way.
Even with this whole cancer fiasco, she’s coming out of it as St. Catherine because she knows that royals can get away with anything – all she has to do is put her head down and wait and waiting is her superpower.”
Another critic wrote, “So what they’re saying is that Kate was the manipulative one that did whatever it took to cling to the class level she gained with that marriage, not Megan. That’s what they mean by stronger.”
And then there was this comment as well: “I am actually surprised that there are some positive comments about Meghan in this book. The comment saying that the staff did like Meghan except for the old guard kind of explains it all. The traditionalists didn’t want to change and Meghan was disrupting their routine.”
So far neither Kate Middleton nor Meghan Markle have made any comments about the matter just yet.
