Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex isn’t holding back when it comes to lifting the lid on her time with the royal family in her and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex’s Netflix documentary series, “Harry & Meghan.” In it, Meghan discussed the first time she met William, Prince of Wales’ wife, Catherine, Princess of Wales, and suggested she maybe didn’t make the best first impression.
“Even when Will and Kate [Middleton] came over and I was meeting her for the first time I remember I was in ripped jeans, I was bare foot, like, I was a hugger, I have always been a hugger I didn’t realise that is really jarring for a lot of Brits,” she explained (via Daily Mail), suggesting Kate was taken a little aback by her forwardness and casual attire. She also added that she began to quickly realize that, for the royals, the formalities they abide by outside the home still apply behind closed doors. “That was surprising to me,” she said.

This is hardly the first time Meghan has spoken publicly about what goes on behind closed doors in the royals’ homes, something that has reportedly ruffled Harry’s family’s feather’s before. Katie Nicholls admitted Meghan’s in-laws have been particularly hurt by her claims, telling OK! in March 2021, “Kate and William both feel they were hugely welcoming to Meghan and Harry. Any accusations against the monarchy are accusations against their family.”
