Princess Kate and Prince William’s lives remain untouched by Meghan Markle’s recent activities, according to a prominent royal commentator. Despite ongoing media speculation about the dynamics between the Sussexes and the Waleses, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams believes that the Prince and Princess of Wales are not influenced by Meghan’s actions.
On New Year’s Day, the former Suits actress surprised millions of royal fans by launching a new Instagram account under the handle @meghan. This move reignited discussions about her and Prince Harry’s evolving public image, but Fitzwilliams is confident that this development holds no sway over William and Kate’s priorities.
In an exclusive interview with GB News, Fitzwilliams shared his insights on the Sussexes’ latest venture and dismissed the notion that the Waleses would respond in kind. “The last thing that William and Kate are interested in just at this moment are the activities of the Sussexes,” he stated. “Following Meghan on Instagram may have been possible, but they’re not in competition with the Sussexes.”
The duchess’s new Instagram account, which notably follows no other profiles, has not attracted a follow from the Prince and Princess of Wales. This lack of interaction further underscores Fitzwilliams’ assertion that the Waleses are charting their own course, distinct from the Sussexes.
According to Fitzwilliams, William and Kate remain steadfastly focused on their royal duties and initiatives. The couple has dedicated their efforts to promoting key causes, including mental health awareness, environmental sustainability, and support for young people. This commitment leaves little room for distractions or comparisons with the Sussexes’ endeavors.
Fitzwilliams further emphasized that the Sussexes’ activities, while often grabbing headlines, do not interfere with the Waleses’ responsibilities. “Their focus is on their royal roles and the causes they champion, not on social media dynamics or perceived rivalries,” he explained.
The launch of Meghan’s Instagram account marks her latest attempt to establish a distinct platform, but for William and Kate, their primary concern remains serving the British public and the monarchy. Fitzwilliams’ comments highlight the growing divergence in priorities between the two royal couples, with the Waleses firmly grounded in their traditional royal roles.
