Meghan Markle has once again found herself at the center of controversy, being harshly compared to her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, who has been hailed as “the epitome of what it really means to be a royal.”
The ongoing comparisons have been spotlighted by royal commentator and media personality, Piers Morgan, who recently published a piece in The Sun criticizing Meghan Markle and extolling the virtues of Kate Middleton.
Morgan, never one to shy away from controversy when it comes to the Sussexes, laid out the stark differences he believes exist between Meghan and Kate, characterizing the former as a “bitter Californian” who could never truly grasp the meaning of royal duty, unlike the Princess of Wales.
This latest commentary adds fuel to the already heated debate surrounding the two women, their differing approaches to royalty, and the ongoing tension between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family.
In his piece, Piers Morgan paints Kate Middleton in an angelic light, describing her as a beacon of resilience and dedication.
“Kate is a woman who, on the face of it, has everything many women would love—palaces, servants, virtually unlimited budgets for clothes and jewelry, global superstardom,” Morgan writes.
However, Morgan notes that Kate’s recent battle with cancer has revealed another side to her that is far removed from the glamour of royalty.
He points out that despite all the material wealth and status, Kate’s cancer diagnosis has transformed her into someone who values health, family, and love above everything else.
“Cancer has transformed her into a woman who would gladly give up all those material and ephemeral things for good health and the ability to continue being with her family—of ‘simply loving and being loved,’” he adds.
According to Morgan, Kate Middleton has become a symbol of hope and inspiration for cancer sufferers across the world, and her grace and dignity in the face of adversity make her an exemplary royal.
“Our future Queen is a national treasure about whom we all now feel very protective,” he says, adding that Kate embodies everything a royal should be.
In contrast, Meghan Markle, according to Morgan, represents the antithesis of royal values.
He doesn’t hold back in branding Meghan as a “bitter Californian” who, in his view, is more concerned with airing grievances and “spewing bile” than with upholding the dignity associated with being a royal.
Morgan’s critique appears to center on what he perceives as Meghan’s inability to adapt to royal life and her decision to step away from her official duties alongside Prince Harry.
He criticizes Meghan and Harry’s decision to publicly share their grievances with the Royal Family, particularly in their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, where Meghan leveled accusations of racism and bullying within the institution.
Morgan accuses Meghan of exploiting her position and continually undermining the Royal Family, comparing her behavior to that of Kate, who he believes embodies quiet dignity and resilience.
“Unlike the bitter California duo spewing their bile and filling their boots across the Atlantic, [Kate] is the epitome of what it really means to be a royal,” he writes.
Meghan Markle’s allegations against the Royal Family, especially those related to racism, continue to cast a shadow over her relationship with the monarchy.
During her interview with Oprah, Meghan disclosed that there had been “concerns and conversations” about how dark her son Archie’s skin might be before he was born.
This revelation sparked widespread outrage and a global conversation about race and the British Royal Family.
While the names of those involved in these conversations were initially kept under wraps, later translations of Omid Scobie’s book Endgame allegedly revealed that King Charles and possibly Kate Middleton were involved. T
he English version of the book reportedly withheld these names, but the damage to the Royal Family’s image was already done.

Furthermore, Meghan also recounted a disagreement with Kate Middleton over bridesmaid dresses during her wedding preparations, which reportedly left her in tears.
These moments of tension have been widely reported and have only deepened the rift between the two women, with public perception often siding with Kate, particularly after Meghan and Harry stepped down from their royal duties.
Piers Morgan’s latest commentary on Meghan Markle comes amid ongoing media speculation about the state of her relationship with the Royal Family, particularly after the release of Prince Harry’s memoir Spare and the couple’s Netflix docuseries.
Public opinion remains sharply divided, with some people viewing Meghan as a victim of a hostile institution, while others see her as someone who has undermined the royal family for personal gain.
Morgan, who has long been a vocal critic of Meghan and Harry, has consistently positioned himself as a defender of traditional royal values, often portraying Meghan as someone who could never fully understand or embrace what it means to be a royal.
His latest comparison between Meghan and Kate only serves to underscore the extent to which public discourse around the two women has become polarized.
As Meghan Markle continues to navigate her life outside the Royal Family, and as Kate Middleton steps into an increasingly prominent role within it, the comparisons between the two women are unlikely to subside anytime soon.
Whether it’s their approach to public life, their handling of personal challenges, or their relationships with the Royal Family, Kate and Meghan remain figures who are as different as they are divisive in the eyes of the public and the media.
