Kate Middleton

There are many weird corners of the internet in which regular folks rally around public figures with the same fierce loyalty that sports fans demonstrate for their favorite football teams.

There's nothing wrong with this fervent devotion, per se, but when it leads to viewing famous people as inhuman competing factions in some never-ending popularity contest, well ... that's when problems arise.

Royalty is a strange instituton that probably should have been abolished sometime in the 16th century.

Instead, the UK is presided over by what's essentially a reality TV family with a weird level of inherited political power.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have made it official:

They really despise Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

I must say, I don't think air transportation has ever been as stressful of a matter as it is right now for the royal family. 

After Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were recently under fire for taking private jets on vacation, Prince William and Kate Middleton are now flying (eek!) commercial. 

At this point, it feels like Kate Middleton and Prince William have been together since the days when royal life consisted of huge turkey legs, goblets of mead, and good old-fashioned beheadings.

In reality, however, it's been 18 years since Will and Kate started dating, and only 8 years since they got married.

We know, we know -- you've heard this one before.

Royal pregnancy rumors are such a constant fixture in the British tabloid media, that we feel like some of these outlets are a little bummed when a royal is actually pregnant.

For over a year now, reports about the alleged feud between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have dominated tabloid headlines.

Rumored causes of the spat varied wildly from one source to the next, but insiders concurred that Kate and Meg simply don't like each other and never got along from the start.

Kate Middleton has been at the center of plenty of celebrity gossip and rumors ever since she married Prince William.

The most damning, of course, has been the recent chatter that William is cheating on her with former friend Rose Hanbury.

Unlike most people who marry into the British Royal Family, Meghan Markle was famous long before she said "I do."

But basic cable legal drama fame isn't quite the same as marrying one of the most sought-after the men on the planet and becoming a freakin' duchess overnight.

It's hard to imagine that anyone could possibly do more with a single year of their life than what Meghan Markle has accomplished in the past 12 months.

But despite all that she's achieved, it was often Meghan's feud with Kate Middleton that dominated tabloid headlines.

If you're a public figure in 2019, being involved in a scandalous love triangle can do wonders for your career.

So it's not terribly surprising that Rose Hanbury has been ranked as one of the most "socially powerful" people in the UK.
