Former Friend Calls Meghan Markle Bitter Over Kate Middleton's Public Affection

Meghan Markle has faced sharp criticism from her former friend Lizzie Cundy, who claims Meghan is "fuming" and bitter over the public's affection for her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton. Despite Meghan's efforts through her lifestyle brand and Netflix series "With Love, Meghan," critics have harshly reviewed her show, with some calling it "confounding" and "ghastly," which has added to Meghan's frustration. Cundy urges Meghan to stop pretending to be someone she is not, specifically telling her she is "not Martha Stewart," and to focus on authenticity rather than rivalry. The former friend recalls Meghan's initial charm but notes a change after Meghan's relationship with Prince Harry, suggesting Meghan should take a leaf out of Kate's book by being more genuine and less bitter. Meghan has expressed feeling "inauthentic" when conforming to royal expectations, such as wearing nude pantyhose, highlighting her ongoing struggle with royal life and public perception. Overall, Cundy advises Meghan to let go of jealousy and bitterness to win back public support and find peace with her identity.
