Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s relationship with The Firm was frayed long before they sensationally stepped down as senior working royals and did their bombshell Oprah interview, during which the Duke and Duchess of Sussex opened up about the unfair racial prejudice Meghan suffered at the hands of select members of Harry’s family and the British tabloids. While the couple’s falling out with the Prince and Princess of Wales, including Harry’s memoir claim that his brother, Prince William, physically fought him over a disagreement about Meghan, has been long known and discussed, the conditions of the Sussexes’ relationship with Zara and Mike Tindall haven’t been as widely covered. But it seems they’ve grown distant.
In fact, according to Express, Zara might have subtly attempted to downplay Meghan’s claim in Netflix’s docuseries “Harry & Meghan” that she wasn’t allowed to wear vibrant colors due to royal protocol. “To my understanding, you can’t ever wear the same color as Her Majesty if there’s a group event,” Meghan claimed. “But then you also should never be wearing the same color as one of the other more senior members of the family.” Soon after, however, Zara seemingly coordinated with Kate Middleton and other members of the royal family to wear matching burgundy and black outfits, in a subtle maneuver seemingly designed to discredit Meghan. Although this could be a royal reach, it isn’t the only reason to believe there’s tension between the former acquaintances.
