Meghan's issue with Kate is the same that Eugenie (and Beatrice at one point) has.
I remember all too well around the last jubilee when it was a constant comparison between Kate and the two princesses. The fact is Eugenie and Beatrice were laughing stocks back then. Who remembers the god awful outfits to Will and Kate's wedding and the comparison to the ugly step sisters? They never got it right style-wise, nobody was particularly interested in them and they had no role within the family. And yet here was a "commoner" who was more a Princess in every way than they were. They hated her, everybody knew it. There were constant stories at the time about how they were threatened by her etc.
Fast forward 10 years and lo and behold Meghan found herself falling short to Kate too. It's no real surprise therefore that Eugenie should place herself firmly in camp Meghan.
Beatrice on the other hand I think has matured way more in the past few years, probably because she became a step-mother and her husband operates in circles where tbh being a royal is no better status. For Edo and his pals, royalty is as much a part of everyday life as brushing your teeth. Compare that to Eugenie's husband who operates in the kind of circles where you constantly have to prove yourself and are always on the edge of being pushed out for not being relevant enough. I almost feel sorry for her.
I noticed at the carol concert at Christmas there was a video of Edo arriving, bowing to Wills and shaking his hand. Something about it just screamed respect. I was unsure on him until that point.
Compare as well the weddings of the two. Even pre-pandemic Beatrice was never planning the extravaganza Eugenie insisted upon. She seems hellbent on screaming about her PRINCESS status (like someone else we know) no wonder they get on so well.
