Meghan Markle continues to share more details about her family despite the alleged double-standard drama.
The Duchess of Sussex became a member of the British Royal Family when she tied the knot to Prince Harry in 2018. They officially stepped down from their royal duties in 2020 amid allegations of racism and a lack of support.
Since their exit, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have become estranged from the Royal Family. A source close to the former actress recently claimed she and Harry believe they are being judged unfairly, unlike Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Meghan recently promoted her As Ever brand’s fruit spread trio with a heartwarming video on Instagram. The clip captured the Duchess in a kitchen, wearing a white apron, as she revealed her family’s favorite jam flavor.
“Everyone in my family has a different favorite. My husband loves the raspberry,” Meghan began before referring to her kids with cute nicknames. “Lil loves the strawberry. Arch likes both. And I like the marmalade,” she said, referencing Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie.
The post’s caption offered more information about the jams in question, explaining that the fruit spread trio was “inspired by the jams Meghan has created in her own kitchen and shared over the years.” The three flavors, raspberry, orange marmalade, and strawberry, are going for $36 on Meghan’s website.
The Duchess Of Sussex Is Reportedly ‘Frustrated’ By Unfair Treatment
Meghan’s nickname slip comes days after she made waves for allegedly feeling “frustrated” by the way people judged her. The Blast covered the story, reporting that a source close to the entrepreneur claimed she disliked the double-standard treatment she and her husband received.
Meghan and Harry reportedly felt like they were “constantly being judged by a completely different rulebook,” unlike Prince William and Kate. “No matter what she does, Kate will be the golden girl, and she will be the villain,” the source argued, noting that these feelings intensified following a recent backlash.
Kate and William had celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary with cute family photos, and even honored their daughter Charlotte on her 11th birthday with cute pictures of the princess. Fans and the media ate the posts up with praise, but their reactions were negative when Meghan dropped a similar post.
The Entrepreneur Reportedly Doesn’t Understand The Double Standard Treatment
When Meghan shared pictures of her son, Archie, in honor of his seventh birthday, she reportedly received backlash for “pimping” her children. Critics accused the mother of two of using her kids to stay relevant, a claim the source argued was double-standard treatment.
The source pointed out that Kate and William were “clearly using their children as part of the royal image and the branding of the family.” However, no one saw a problem with their actions, but immediately changed tune when Harry and Meghan tried to do the same.
The source also alleged that Kate and Meghan did not have the best relationship when the latter first joined the Royal Family. They reportedly clashed in the days leading to Meghan and Harry’s wedding over the bridesmaids’ dress, with the source adding that Kate was the more favored of the two wives.
The Duchess Shared Glimpses Of Her Family’s Trip To Disneyland
Days before the source’s claims, The Blast shared that Meghan had given her Instagram followers a rare view of her family’s Disneyland trip. She dropped multiple pictures from the outing, which captured her, her husband, her kids, and her mother.
The group looked happy in the snaps Meghan shared, showing them on rides and meeting some of Disney’s most popular characters like Mickey Mouse and Cinderella. A source revealed the trip was more than a fun getaway, as it doubled as a birthday celebration for the kids.
Additionally, the trip “was a special way to extend Mother’s Day for Meghan and her mom.” Disneyland has a special place in the Sussex family, as Meghan previously shared moments from Lilibet’s fourth birthday at the theme park in 2025.
Meghan Markle’s Husband Is Allegedly Displeased By Their Children’s Estrangement From Their Cousins
Earlier this month, The Blast reported that sources claimed Prince Harry was saddened by his children’s estrangement from their cousins. He was allegedly displeased by the lack of bonds between his two kids and his older brother’s three children.
Although Archie and Lilibet were reportedly having a great time in America, Harry was not satisfied as they were missing out on a life with the rest of the Royal Family in the UK. These claims followed reports of Kate’s decision to stand by her husband amid his estrangement from Harry.
Besides her support for William, the Princess of Wales reportedly felt attacked by Harry’s comments about King Charles’ cancer battle. As someone in a similar situation, sources claimed Kate did not appreciate Harry’s implication that Charles might not have long to live.
Will the Sussexes ever reconcile with the Royal Family?
