‘Furious’ Kate Middleton feels ‘exhausted and trapped’ by ‘enormous’ workload since Megxit, insider tells Tatler
KATE Middleton feels "exhausted and trapped" by her new "enormous" workload since Megxit, an insider has claimed.
Speaking to , a friend of the Cambridge family claimed the Duchess is "furious" by how Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's exit from the Royal Family has impacted her workload.
A source said: "William and Catherine really wanted to be hands-on parents and the Sussexes have effectively thrown their three children under a bus.
"There goes their morning school runs as the responsibilities on them now are enormous."
Although the mum-of-three continues to "smile and dress appropriately", another source said Kate didn't want to increase her working hours.
"She feels exhausted and trapped," they said. "She's working as hard as a top CEO, who has to be wheeled out all the time, without the benefits of boundaries and plenty of holidays."
Since the beginning of the coronavirus crisis, Kate and William have been conducting royal visits over video call - most recently playing bingo with residents at Shire Hall Care Home in Cardiff.
After Megxit was announced in January, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle temporarily stayed in Canada before moving into Tyler Perry's £15m LA mansion.
Since their move, Harry and Meghan spent Easter delivering meals for those too ill to cook for themselves and helped to provide 250,000 meals for struggling Brits during lockdown with their £90,000 wedding donation.
The publication also reports Kate and Meghan clashed in the lead up to the Duchess' wedding in May 2018.
According to the source, Meghan argued that the bridesmaids shouldn't have to wear tights if it was a hot day while Kate "felt they should and follow protocol."
Kate reportedly "put Meghan in her place" for allegedly "speaking down" to Kensington Palace staff.
Earlier this month, royal expert Katie Nicholl said Kate and William are making an effort to "let their guard down" to show "the future of The Firm".
