Taylor Swift shared a moment with Prince William and his two older children when they attended her Eras concert in London (and got an epic selfie, which also featured Travis Kelce). But it appeared to rub Meghan Markle the wrong way, as she’s reportedly been trying to get on Taylor’s good side for some time with no success.
How Prince William May Have Dissed His Brother
“It’s no secret that Meghan went out of her way to try and build a relationship with Taylor, but got nowhere,” a source told Heat Magazine. “It’s hard for her and Harry not to see this as being a calculated way for William and the royals to undermine them further. It’s certainly rubbing salt into the wound.”
They added that Harry felt “slightly pointed message towards them” and believes it was his brother’s attempt to “align themselves with anyone who the Sussexes have tried to associate themselves with”.
“Going to see Taylor Swift is being taken as proof of that,” they continued.
Why Harry And Meghan Are Still Feuding With The Royals
The feud between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry with the British royal family has been a subject of intense media scrutiny and public interest since early 2020. And it hasn’t improve despite recent health crises, including Kate Middleton and King Charles’ joint cancer diagnoses.
The conflict began in earnest when Meghan and Harry announced their decision to step back from their roles as senior members of the royal family in January 2020. This decision was driven by their desire for a more independent life, away from the constant media scrutiny and public criticism they faced as members of the royal family.
In a ground breaking move, the couple stated they wanted to pursue financial independence and take on fewer royal duties, a decision that marked a significant departure from royal traditions. The announcement was met with surprise and controversy, setting the stage for a series of public and private disputes.
The feud deepened in March 2021 during a highly anticipated interview with Oprah Winfrey. In this interview, Meghan opened up about the difficulties she faced while living under the royal spotlight.
Prince Harry also expressed his frustrations about his experiences within the royal family. He described feeling “trapped” and spoke of his emotional turmoil, stating, “I’ve felt a huge amount of anger and frustration” with the institution.
The couple’s departure from the UK was followed by their move to California, where they embarked on new professional ventures. Their ongoing media projects, including their Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan and Harry’s memoir Spare, have continued to explore their experiences with the royal family and further elaborate on their grievances. And while they’ve had many opportunities, it seems attending an Eras show wasn’t one of them.
