In a new video released by the Archewell Foundation, Meghan Markle appears to have taken a subtle ‘dig’ at Kate Middleton’s Royal duties.
The one-minute clip, showcasing Archewell’s global “impact” for 2023, was strategically unveiled just hours after Princess Kate posted a heartwarming video of herself and her three children at a baby bank in Windsor.
As reported by Express, in Kate’s video, viewers witness the Duchess delicately selecting donations and diligently packing boxes for needy children this Christmas, embodying the spirit of charitable efforts. However, the stark contrast arises when we shift our focus to Meghan’s presence in the Archewell video.
The Duchess is depicted engaging in genuine acts of kindness, hugging numerous people, and carrying out benevolent deeds—all while exuding glamour and grace.
The timing of Archewell’s video release has not gone unnoticed, sparking online speculation about whether it was strategically moved up to divert attention from the commendable work showcased by the Waleses at the Windsor baby bank.
Traditionally, the Archewell Foundation releases such impactful videos in the new year, with past releases occurring in January. The deviation from this timeline has fuelled the gossip mill.
Online reactions to the video have been mixed. While some critics accused Meghan of “desperately seeking attention,” others took the opportunity to draw comparisons, implying that Kate meticulously plans her public appearances to maintain visibility. One social media user commented, “You can bet anytime Catherine does something in public she does something to be seen; seriously, she still believes she has a greater voice.”
However, amid the negative comments, there remains a significant amount of support for the Duke and Duchess.
Fans commended the couple’s dedication to charitable causes, with one expressing pride in how they use their celebrity status to make a positive impact. Another admirer remarked, “They’re so easy to love. So proud of these two remarkable souls!” A third added, “Awesome work again by the Archewell Foundation led by Prince Harry and Meghan.”
This development comes on the heels of Princess Catherine sharing a heartwarming video of her taking her children to The Baby Bank in Windsor.
Earlier in the year, she had visited the centre and promised to bring her little ones to lend a helping hand, adding a touch of humor with her comment, “Perhaps my helpful ones and not my unhelpful ones!”
The subtle nuances in the Archewell video raise questions about the dynamics within the Royal family, particularly between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton. As the public dissects every gesture and statement, it remains to be seen whether this is a fleeting moment of rivalry or indicative of deeper tensions within the Royal fold.
The ongoing scrutiny of their actions only intensifies the spotlight on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, making every charitable endeavor a subject of public discourse and comparison.
