IN the Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, Meghan recalls the first time she met Princess Kate and her husband, Prince William, during the early stages of her romance with now-husband Prince Harry. “They came for dinner,” Meghan recalled. “I remember, I was in ripped jeans and I was barefoot. I was a hugger, always been a hugger. I didn’t realize that that is really jarring for a lot of Brits,” she said, adding that it was a quick lesson in royal etiquette. “That formality carries over on both sides, and that was surprising to me.”
That’s where the trouble started. Kate was more than happy to show Meghan the royal ropes, a source tells Star, but the former Suits actress wasn’t interested. “Everyone who marries into the royal family has to adapt, but Meghan didn’t feel like she needed to change her ways, and that infuriated Kate,” says the source. It was only time before Meghan, 41, and Harry, 38, chafing under The Firm’s protocol, ditched their royal duties and moved to the U.S., leaving William, 40, and Kate, 41, and the late Queen Elizabeth II (who died at age 96 in September 2022) to pick up the pieces. “It broke the Queen’s heart,” says the source. Even more, it convinced Kate that Meghan tried to bring the royal family down. “And she will never forgive her for it.”
