Ingrid said: “I think he just adored her [Kate] and he was always there, at Kensington Palace.” Now, relationship expert Louella Alderson has given some insight into why Meghan might have been envious of the Princess of Wales.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, she said: “It’s likely that Meghan felt a sense of competition with Kate. She seems to have a competitive streak and enjoys being in the spotlight.
“The constant media attention and comparisons being made between the two women may have added to the feelings of competition. No matter how secure and confident one may be, being compared to someone else on a regular basis can be challenging. Kate is adored by the public, which may have caused Meghan to feel like she had to live up to a certain standard.”
