«Twins». This was the headline on the cover of U Magazine in 2014. The cover girl was none other than Duchess Kate (39), but more on that a little later in this case.
Because we have to start at the beginning, in the autumn of 2016.
When they shared the good news the next year that they were getting married, the newly engaged couple revealed that they were introduced by a mutual friend without knowing each other.
The prince also stated that he had never heard of the “Suits” star before, and that it was definitely a “blind date”. The 39-year-old agreed at the time with what the prince said, and at the same time revealed that as an American she did not know much about him.
– I grew up in the United States without the same relationship to a royal house as you have, Meghan Markle replied.

But now Meghan’s above quote from the engagement goes viral with a picture from 2014. And this is where the front page of Duchess Kate comes into the picture.
In the picture of the Duchess of Sussex, we see her with U Magazine in her hands – something that now makes more people open their eyes. This is exactly what Kate magazine was on the cover of in 2014.

“She has said she did no research on Harry or his family before they got married. Was it because she was more interested in what Kate had? ”Asks a Twitter user, who has also attached a picture of Meghan and the magazine cover.
Another claims that Meghan has “stalked” the royals for years. In the photo from 2014, Meghan poses with the assistant director of U Magazine, Denise Cash.

Although some believe that the Duchess must have known more about the royal family than she expressed, there are others who take the 39-year-old in defense and think one can not conclude anything from the picture.
– And the problem / controversy here is? Kate just happens to be on the front page, one thinks.
What Meghan knew or not is actually only she who knows, but one thing that is certain is that the relationship between the two duchies must have taken a strong hit in recent years.
This was revealed by the former American actor himself during the Oprah Winfrey interview in March. Ever since Harry and Meghan got married in 2018, there have been rumors in British tabloids that Meghan had made her sister-in-law Duchess Kate cry before the royal wedding.

Meghan, for her part, recently claimed that the rumors were not true, and that it was rather the opposite – that Kate made her cry.
– A few days before the wedding, she was upset about something with the dresses for the flower girls. It made me cry. It really hurt me, she said in the interview, emphasizing that there was no confrontation between the two.
According to Meghan, Duchess Kate, who is married to Prince William, apologized for the incident, and Meghan described the sister-in-law as “a good person”.
