Former Royal Staffer Claims Kate Middleton Stronger Than Meghan Markle

A new book, 'Yes, Ma'am,' by Tom Quinn, highlights differences in how Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle adapted to royal life, with former staffers suggesting Kate is a 'much stronger person' than Meghan. According to insiders, both women faced criticism from courtiers, but Kate's willingness to accept advice and her respectful approach helped her navigate the challenges more effectively. Meghan's assertive attitude, described as a 'Meghan-knows-best' complex, sometimes clashed with royal traditions, leading to tension within the institution. The staffers noted that while Meghan sought to make a significant impact, Kate's understanding of the royal role as one of collaboration allowed her to thrive. This contrast underscores the different paths both women took in their journeys within the royal family, despite coming from similar middle-class backgrounds. The insights reveal a complex dynamic between the two duchesses, shaped by their individual responses to the rigid structures of royal life.
