Previous comments made by Meghan Markle about Princess Kate have resurfaced, on the day the duchess has announced some big business news.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, used to write a blog called The Tig – and had a lot to say about her future sister-in-law back in 2014.
Meghan Markle’s comments on Princess Kate on her blog The Tig
11 years ago, Meghan didn’t exactly have the highest of praise for future sister-in-law Kate.
The Duchess of Sussex was writing about her childhood dream of being a princess when she mentioned Kate.
“Little girls dream of being princesses. I, for one, was all about She-Ra, Princess of Power,” she said.
Just look at the pomp and circumstance surrounding the royal wedding and endless conversation about Princess Kate.
“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. We’re definitely not talking about Cinderella here.”
“Grown women seem to retain this childhood fantasy. Just look at the pomp and circumstance surrounding the royal wedding and endless conversation about Princess Kate,” she then added.
Meghan’s comments came two years before she met Prince Harry in 2016.

In the video, Meghan explained the name change too. “‘As Ever’ essentially means as it’s always been, and if you’ve followed me since 2014 with The Tig, you know I’ve always loved cooking and crafting and gardening – this is what I do,” she said.
