A Kensington Palace insider has disclosed that when Meghan Markle and Prince Harry engage in disagreements, it is on a grand scale, according to insights shared with author Tom Quinn during an exclusive interview with Daily Express US.
The palace source revealed intimate details about the dynamics within both the Sussexes and the Waleses' relationships, highlighting that while Prince William and Kate Middleton have their share of arguments, they tend to handle them differently compared to Harry and Meghan.
Quinn, the author of Gilded Youth: An Intimate History Of Growing Up in the Royal Family, conveyed that the Waleses have their fair share of “terrific rows,” but their conflicts are managed in a more controlled manner, often involving playful actions like throwing cushions instead of escalating tensions with heavier objects.
In contrast, the insider alleged that Harry and Meghan's disputes take a more intense turn, with both parties deeply involved in the disagreements, leading to what was described as dramatic fallout by the source.
The palace aide hinted that William and Kate's composed approach to conflicts could be attributed to the influence of Queen Elizabeth II's legacy, who famously adhered to the principle of “never complain, never explain,” a philosophy that the Cambridge couple appears to follow closely.
On the other hand, Harry and Meghan, having distanced themselves from the royal institution, may not have been instilled with the same values, allowing their arguments to potentially escalate further due to differing beliefs and practices.
Quinn suggested that William and Kate's reluctance to publicly address their grievances has shielded them from intense scrutiny, unlike Harry and Meghan, who have faced heightened attention following their decision to step back from royal duties in 2020 and pursue lucrative deals with media platforms like Netflix and Spotify.
By maintaining a low profile and adhering to the traditional royal decorum, the Cambridges have managed to navigate conflicts discreetly and avoid excessive public scrutiny, showcasing a stark contrast to the Sussexes, whose public image has undergone significant transformation post their departure from official royal roles.
As the dynamics within the royal family continue to captivate public interest, the contrasting approaches adopted by the two couples shed light on the intricacies of their relationships and the varying responses to marital conflicts.
