Since mid-January, the world has been following the scandal in the British royal house: the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced that they are resigning all titles and duties, they want to live a life far from the throne.
From the very beginning of the formation of the couple Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, it was obvious who was the leader in the family. And from the very beginning,
Kate and Megan are almost the same age, there is not even a year difference between them, both from ordinary families. Without a drop of “blue blood”. Both entered the holy of holies, the British royal family, through marriage.
But already at the stage of how this very marriage took place, it became clear that the strategies of the two women were completely different.
Kate “hatched” William for a long 8 years. During this time, she even managed to earn in the press the derogatory nickname Katie-verity. William swung back and forth like a pendulum. He tried relationships with other women, for a long time did not introduce Kate to the family as his official girlfriend – in general, he ensured Kate’s existence in the format so beloved on social networks – “everything is complicated.”
it was obvious that Meghan Markle was disliked. It’s not just about new kin and tabloids. The image of Megan irritates many women. Unlike the image of the second daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, who will soon be canonized, the “white coat” fits her so perfectly.
Let’s use the example of these two images that Kate and Megan demonstrate, consider why one is so loved, and the second is annoying at best. And what kind of behavioral strategy is more successful for life.
Kate and Megan are almost the same age, there is not even a year difference between them, both from ordinary families. Without a drop of “blue blood”. Both entered the holy of holies, the British royal family, through marriage.
But already at the stage of how this very marriage took place, it became clear that the strategies of the two women were completely different.
Kate “hatched” William for a long 8 years. During this time, she even managed to earn in the press the derogatory nickname Katie-verity. William swung back and forth like a pendulum. He tried relationships with other women, for a long time did not introduce Kate to the family as his official girlfriend – in general, he ensured Kate’s existence in the format so beloved on social networks – “everything is complicated.”
But from everything, it is clear that she did not hold a sense of purpose, and the stakes were too high, so in 2011 Katie-verity still waited for the wedding and became the Duchess of Cambridge. This title helped Kate Middleton become practically the right hand of Queen Elizabeth, since Camilla, although they were officially allowed to enter the family, was not forgiven for many years of adultery with Charles and the bad trail of rumors and accusations associated with it.
Meghan Markle opened the door to the British Royal House almost with her foot. Acquaintance with Prince Harry, short relationship, engagement, and immediate wedding. Moreover, in all the photos of the couple, it is clear that it is Harry who looks at Megan with delight, and not vice versa.
At the same time, Kate has devoted sympathizers both among the British public and in our circle.
In my opinion, this happens because both in the domestic society and in the British society, the opinion of others is of great importance. In different aspects, the very “what people say, what they think” determines the behavior of an individual in society.
It is enough to read any English classic and not only a classic to understand how important decency is. Therefore, English families do not take dirty linen out of the hut, do not lose face, do not arrange public scenes, do not pull out the hair of their spouse’s mistress.
From the point of view of decency, Kate Middleton is an ideal wife – she closes her eyes to all her husband’s betrayals, regularly gives birth, does not get fat a single gram after each birth, moreover, she appears on the threshold of the maternity hospital a couple of hours after giving birth, dressed and made up “to the point”.
A real lady, no matter what happens in the soul or in relationships. And apparently, both there and there, not everything is going smoothly, because we rarely see an open smile on Kate’s face.
Yes, and she looks older than her daughter-in-law, despite the fact that not much, but still younger than her. In addition, he has a rather pretty face and a slender figure.
Of course she is a duchess. Status, opportunities, finances, the treasury of Buckingham Palace – everything is with her. And the prospect of becoming a queen. It may not be very close, but it is there. For the sake of this, it is worth enduring both the betrayal of your husband, and the protocol, and the fact that you do not belong to yourself. Many endure much worse conditions.
That is why Kate is loved and sympathized by all those who choose to endure in their lives. And in our society, to endure an abnormal, unacceptable, boorish, humiliating attitude towards oneself is generally a whole culture. As well as holding on to a man who does not need it, this is generally a separate female trend.
Megan Markle burst into the family and immediately made it clear that she would not tolerate anything. And, of course, she is accused, including that she, a plebeian, an uneducated cook, crawled into a noble house and does not respect centuries-old traditions.
You can treat it differently. We will never know the real Megan, but she certainly sets the example of a woman who wants to live the way she wants. And she doesn’t care about public opinion.
She wants to live with her beloved husband, for whom she is a star. And even if Harry one day follows in the footsteps of his father and brother, then I am sure that Meghan will quickly file for a divorce, from which she will come out with many dividends.
By the way, about dividends. Despite the fact that Harry and Megan were not only stripped of their titles and maintenance but also ordered to return the funds spent earlier, all experts agree that Megan can now easily earn millions. The interest in her in the world is huge, there is no longer a ban on working and playing, so she can simply row advertising contracts with a wide shovel. And then return to the cinema. Although she was a third-tier actress, the wave of public interest would easily carry her to the first.
Of course, there is a danger to marriage here. Already, Harry looks like the losing side: he lost a lot by going after his wife, and he does not have such brilliant prospects as Megan.
It is quite possible that the family will not stand the test of social inequality, which has now turned the other way. But even so, despite everything, their marriage looks real and happy from the very beginning. And this experience of happiness will remain with them forever, unlike the family of Kate and William, who even in public photos cannot portray the joy of being with each other.
Of course, women like Megan are annoying, especially those who endure but are afraid to live differently. They want to peck, so as not to interfere with existing in the usual framework.
But be that as it may, life is one. There will be no chance to replay it or repeat it. Meghan Markle takes everything she can from life and enjoys it. I think this is a good strategy.
