The Moment The Duchess Of Cambridge Broke Down.
They’ve vowed to give their son a normal and private upbringing. However, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s controversial decision to break away from royal tradition once again by making Archie’s christening a private affair has caused more tension behind palace walls than ever before.
According to royal insiders, Kate in particular, who has been very busy carrying out her royal duties of late, was less than impressed when learning of the details surrounding her nephew’s christening at a private chapel inside Windsor Castle.
It is understood that Harry and Meghan’s latest move to completely exclude the public from the day further angered the Duchess of Cambridge, who believes the couple are disrespecting the monarchy as they continue to “play by their own rules”.
Sources reveal that it all came to a head during a rehearsal for the christening, when Meghan apparently confronted Kate.
“Tensions have been brewing between Kate and Meghan for a while, so no-one was surprised that it all boiled over at the christening rehearsal,” says a source. “Meghan basically went after Kate while there was a break in the rehearsal – it was very heated and the whole palace is talking about it.
“It started when Meghan asked Kate not to do anything to steal her thunder at the christening. Kate was pretty taken aback and said she would never do that, which only set Meghan off more.”
The insider said Meghan was also upset that Kate went to see her friend Serena at Wimbledon.
“Just a lot of silly and unreasonable things, but Meghan clearly had a lot of things that she wanted to get off her chest,” the source added.
“Kate was very upset after and was visibly shaken. She knows Meghan is emotional at the moment and was taking everything out on her at the rehearsal, but it didn’t make it any easier to take.
