Kate Middleton

Last week, a cover story in the UK tabloid Tatler painted a very unflattering portrait of Kate Middleton.

Among other scathing claims, the magazine reported that Kate has spent several months griping that Meghan essentially ruined her life by stepping away from royal life and moving to America.

In a rather unusual move, the Royal Family has responded in public and strong fashion to a new magazine profile about Kate Middleton.

Earlier this week, Tatler released a cover story titled "Catherine the Great" that purported to take readers behind the scenes of this famous Duchess' busy and interesting life.

If you follow the royal family closely, then there's a good chance you've already caught wind of the newly-published Tatler exposé about the long simmering rivalry between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle.

The magazine claims to have determined the cause of Kate and Meghan's rift, and it has to do with ... tights and hot weather?!

If you're a follower of either the celebrity gossip universe or the Royal Family in general, you're undoubtedly aware that Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton don't get along.

Strong rumors of a major rift between the superstars have been floating around the Internet for years now.

When the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced that they would be stepping down from their roles as senior members of the royal family, they didn't offer many specifics with regard to the causes of their decision.

Then again, they didn't have to.

By now, we certainly don't need to tell you about the coronavirus pandemic or the devastating impact it's having on just about every aspect of life in all corners of the world.

The US -- specifically New York -- is the hardest hit area thus far, but few countries have escaped the effects of this worsening global health crisis.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are getting more hate than ever these days regarding their move to Canada and house-shopping in L.A.

But no one has hated Meghan longer or more fiercely than her evil half-sister, who says that Meghan harbors a sick jealousy of Kate Middleton.

This week brought yet another reminder that major change is afoot within Buckingham Palace, as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle laid off their staff and took one more step toward cutting ties with London for good.

Generally, Royal Family Problems pale in comparison to Real People Problems, but at times like this they intersect, and we're reminded that while they hold very little political power these days, the decisions of monarchs and their offspring still have an impact on their subjects.

On January 8 of this year, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced that they are stepping down from their official roles within the royal family.

It's now reported that this leaves Kate to shoulder a tremendous amount of the royal family's day-to-day burdens, and it's taking its toll.

Well, it's official -- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have stepped down as senior members of the royal family.

Like it's namesake, Brexit, Megxit may take a long time to reach its completion, but the process has begun in earnest, with the Sussexes putting down roots in Canada this week.

We probably don't need to tell you these are tumultuous times within the royal family.

And it seems that if the Queen was hoping to be consoled by the promise of more grandchildren, she may be out of luck.

With developments such as the recent rumor that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are planning to move to Canada and relinquish their titles, the future of he British Royal Family has never been in greater doubt.

Despite all the uncertainty, however, Prince William will almost certainly be crowned king at some point -- and it seems that Kate Middleton is already hard at work preparing for her future role as one of the world's most high-profile diplomats.

Well, 2019 is almost at an end, and all over the world, bitter rivals are burying the hatchet in hopes of entering the new year with a clean karmic slate.

Unfortunately, Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton cannot be counted among those who are looking to make peace with their enemies.

Someone get Prince William a baggy suit, a bottom-shelf toupee, and an impeachment.

Dude basically has no choice but to adopt the Donald look now that he's received the Melania treatment from Kate Middleton.

These are tough times for members of the British Royal Family.

Now, if you hit the lights every time you hear footsteps in the hall because you're three weeks behind on your rent, you might be feeling that "tough times" is a relative term -- and you would be right -- but hear us out:

On this side of the pond, few public figures are as popular and well-liked as Meghan Markle.

But for reasons that defy explanation, many Brits don't share our objectively-correct positive opinion of the former Suits star,

Even if you're not a follower of royal news and gossip, you're probably aware of the most recent controversy surrounding Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

In a newly-released TV documentary entitled Harry and Meghan: An African Journey, the couple opened up about the various challenges they've faced during their first 18 months of marriage.

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.
