Royal watchers and fans of Kate Middleton were left stunned as royal expert Jennie Bond named the two biggest “divas” within the royal family during a recent podcast on The Sun.
Bond’s remarks sparked controversy and discussion among royal enthusiasts, particularly regarding her choices.
According to Bond, Princess Margaret, the younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II, held a reputation as a true diva due to her charisma and occasional bluntness.
“I think historically, probably Princess Margaret was [the biggest diva]. A real diva,” Bond commented, highlighting Margaret’s assertive personality and sometimes blunt interactions with others.
Bond’s statement didn’t end there. She also suggested that Meghan Markle, now Duchess of Sussex, exhibited “diva qualities” during her time within the royal family.
This comparison drew immediate reactions from fans of Kate Middleton, who took to social media to express their disbelief and defend their favorite royal.
One fan reacted passionately, stating, “There’s only one royal who possesses all the qualities to win hearts and respect, and she’s Catherine,” emphasizing their support for the Princess of Wales amidst the diva discussion.
Princess Margaret’s legacy as a royal figure has been marked by her glamour, sophistication, and at times, controversial moments.
Known for her candid demeanor and sharp wit, Margaret’s interactions with figures like model Twiggy, where she famously quipped “how unfortunate,” underscored her reputation as unapologetically forthright.
Bond further detailed Margaret’s influence on the royal family, noting her impact on perceptions of marriage within the institution due to her own turbulent romantic history, including a high-profile divorce in the 1970s.
On the other hand, Meghan Markle’s perceived diva qualities have been a topic of discussion since her entry into the royal family.

The ongoing dialogue underscores the enduring fascination with the royal family’s dynamics and the public’s scrutiny of its members’ personalities and behaviors.
Bond’s observations serve as a reminder of the diverse characters that have shaped the monarchy’s history and its contemporary image in the eyes of the world.
