Kate Middleton and Camilla Parker Bowles looked bleak Monday – the day after rogue relatives Meghan Markle and Prince Harry toasted the royal family in a jam-packed TV sit-down.
Grim-faced Middleton – who in the special accused Markle of making her cry – was photographed in the morning driving into Kensington Palace in London.
Markle had told interviewer Oprah Winfrey in the chat that aired on Sunday in the US how Middleton, the wife of Harry’s brother, Prince William, “ made me cry, and it really hurt my feelings ” during some sort of dispute over the flower of the Duchess of Sussex girls dresses for her wedding to Harry.
Markle said Middleton later apologized, “and I’ve forgiven her.”
In more footage released Monday, biracial Markle said it was outrageous that the criticism Kate faced while dating William was compared to the racism leveled against her, as she said some members of the royal family have suggested.
“Rude is not racist,” Markle told Winfrey.
As for Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, she didn’t smile with a distant look in her eyes as she was driven through central London on Monday.
She had to put up with stepson Harry telling Winfrey that his father and her husband, Prince Charles, are “trapped” in his royal life. Harry said he feels sorry for his father and brother.
Harry also claimed that his father stopped his calls after he and Markle separated from the royal family.
“I really feel abandoned,” Harry said to Winfrey.
Still, “of course I will always love him,” said the prince of his father.
Charles was “in a state of despair” about the interview, even when Harry previously emailed his father to try to explain why the couple did it, Vanity Fair reported.
