Before becoming the most popular member of the royal family, Kate Middleton was just Prince William’s normal girlfriend. She’s known to stay away from gossip, remain professional, and have a reserved personality, making her a favorite of the Brits. However, that doesn’t make her immune to rumors that challenge her good-girl persona. Here’s all the proof that Kate has another ‘bad girl’ side, from questionable moments with Meghan Markle to disrespecting Queen Camilla in front of the world.
She didn’t want Meghan to come to Pippa’s wedding
In 2017, Pippa Middleton married James Matthews around the same time Meghan and Harry’s relationship was taking over the headlines. Currently, Princess Catherine didn’t like that her new sister-in-law was demanding attention and tried to stop Meghan from getting invited because she thought it would overshadow Pippa’s big day. Meghan ended up skipping the ceremony, and many think it was Kate who made that decision.
She outwardly hates Meghan Markle
Kate isn’t afraid to express how she dislikes Meghan behind closed doors, with royal author Omid Scobie, who wrote in her book “Endgame” that Kate “jokingly shivers” when she hears Meghan’s name. Scobie also claimed Kate acted coldly to Meghan from the start and didn’t give her a chance, and even an insider who is friends with Kate confirmed she rolls her eyes at Meghan. In 2022, at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, she gave the Duchess of Sussex a dirty look that made her feel uncomfortable.
She wore white to Meghan Markle’s wedding
In the ultimate petty move, Kate dared to wear white to Meghan Markle’s wedding out of spite, shocking social media users and the rest of the world. Many think she did this due to the feud involving her daughter Charlotte’s dress that occurred in the lead-up to the wedding. Kensington Palace tried to convince us that she wore a “primrose yellow wool silk tailored coat,” but it looked pretty white to us in photos. One TikTok user said, “Ok it’s yellow but it’s very close to white and appears white in photos and I think it’s just wrong.”

She shaded Queen Camilla
At the king’s coronation, Kate got into a feud with Queen Camila over the coronation guest list, as there was a limit on the number of family members who could be invited. According to royal author Tom Bower, there were 20 Parker Bowleses and only four Middletons. Kate’s sisters weren’t permitted to bring their spouses, and to get the message across, Kate refused to bow and curtsy when Camilla walked by. Her energy was contagious; those around her bowed and curtsied to the king, but fully ignored Camilla as she walked by.
She strategically chose Prince William
These two didn’t just have a convenient meet-cute where they met at university and fell in love. According to rumors, Princess Catherine strategically planned a meeting with William with the help of her mother. She turned down a spot at the reputable University of Edinburgh to go to the University of St. Andrews when William announced he’d be going there. Since she was a year ahead of him, she took a gap year, and when she came back, she switched her major from psychology to art history, which was William’s major.
