In a recent interview, royal expert Christopher Andersen suggests that Meghan Markle may be experiencing conflicting emotions as she observes the way the palace has handled the latest drama surrounding Kate Middleton. Andersen points out that while Meghan may feel an "I told you so" moment about the palace's handling of the situation, she also empathizes with her sister-in-law, considering their shared experiences within the royal family.

Meghan, who has openly criticized the royal institution in the past, understands the pressures and scrutiny that come with being a member of the monarchy. In March 2021, she revealed to Oprah Winfrey that she had struggled with suicidal thoughts due to the immense stress of her royal responsibilities. Andersen highlights that Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, can relate to waking up to tabloid headlines targeting them, just like Middleton now faces.

The expert further highlights the public's growing distrust of the monarchy and the royal family as a result of the perceived lack of transparency. Andersen criticizes the "uncalled-for secrecy" surrounding Middleton's recent health issues, asserting that it has only fueled conspiracy theories and intensified the public's doubts.

Kensington Palace had previously confirmed that Middleton underwent "planned abdominal surgery" in January and would need time to recover before resuming her royal duties. However, her limited public appearances and controversy surrounding a heavily edited photo she released with her children have raised questions about the validity of the information provided.

Middleton recently apologized for the confusion caused by the photo, stating that she occasionally experiments with editing like many amateur photographers. However, some reports suggest that the decision to release the edited image was a collective one, leading to further speculation and conspiracy theories about Middleton's whereabouts.

While Meghan and Middleton have had their differences in the past, including an alleged incident at Meghan's wedding in 2018, it is reported that both Meghan and Harry have sent "get well messages" to Prince William's wife. Andersen emphasizes that both Meghan and Middleton can now relate to each other more than ever, as they each face challenges within the palace and the media's scrutiny.

As the palace continues to face criticism for its handling of the situation, Middleton is said to be hoping for the controversy to subside soon. An insider revealed that this has been one of the most challenging months for Middleton as a royal, and she is praying for the situation to calm down.

Ultimately, the ongoing controversies surrounding Middleton's health and the palace's response highlight the tensions and struggles within the royal family. The public's trust in the monarchy hangs in the balance, as the palace's reputation continues to be questioned.
