The shade between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle began long before Meghan joined the royal family. Back in 2014, the former “Suits” star had a blog called “The Tig,” where she wrote about all things lifestyle and fashion. In one post on the site, Meghan took aim at Kate. “Little girls dream of being princesses. … I, for one, was all about She-Ra, Princess of Power,” she wrote, according to the Daily Mail. “For those of you unfamiliar with the ’80s cartoon reference, She-Ra is the twin sister of He-Man and a sword-wielding royal rebel known for her strength,” she continued, adding, “We’re definitely not talking about Cinderella here.” She went on to say that “grown women seem to retain this childhood fantasy” before highlighting her point. “Just look at the pomp and circumstance surrounding the royal wedding and endless conversation about Princess Kate,” Meghan wrote. Yikes.

And, as if that wasn’t shady enough, Meghan would later say that she didn’t know much about the royal family at all. The comment came during Meghan’s interview with Oprah Winfrey that aired in March 2021. The Duchess of Sussex claimed that she didn’t Google the royal family, nor did she know much about how things were within the palace walls, making her unprepared for royal life. However, it seems as though she knew something about her in-laws before meeting them. We can’t help but wonder if Kate ever read “The Tig,” which was shut down in 2017.
