Meghan Markle has long faced accusations of being jealous of estranged sister-in-law Kate Middleton. And now, some Reddit users believe she is also envious of Prince William and Kate’s 11-year-old daughter, Princess Charlotte, speculating that Meghan’s recent increase in posts featuring daughter Princess Lilibet, 5, reflects an attempt to compete with Charlotte’s growing popularity.

Reddit Users Think Meghan Markle Is 'Jealous' Of Princess Charlotte
In a Reddit thread titled, "When Your Biggest Threat Is An 11-Year-Old," users discussed Meghan's recent social media posts alongside screenshots highlighting Princess Charlotte's growing public popularity.
The original poster shared a screenshot of a post by user 'Sir Grift-A-Lot' (what a name!) featuring photos of Charlotte looking confident and relaxed – including one which showed her cooly fanning herself at Wimbledon, and another laughing with Taylor Swift – alongside the caption: "This is why Meghan has been pushing Betty on social media."
The original poster then wrote: "We all know Meghan sees her children as lifestyle accessories and status symbols instead of actual human beings. And we all know Lilibet definitely gets the lion's share of her attention over poor Archie, who seems to function mainly as a space filler. I think that is partially out of genuine favoritism and partially for marketability reasons."
They went on: "But, lest we forget, there is a third element in the ongoing narrative of barefoot Lilibet being pushed as the adored golden child. A walking, talking third element who has literally been the target of Meghan's venom since she was a toddler. Keep on going, Charlotte!"
Reddit Comments
"Meghan has been hating on Charlotte since she was a baby… I don't think it's anything new," thought one user.
"MeGain hated Charlotte even as a baby because of how insecure she is, particularly when it comes to other women," speculated a second. "She sees females as either sycophants to adore her, useful tools that she categorizes as 'friends,' or flat out threats to be eliminated. And she definitely saw Charlotte as a threat when she was just a toddler."
"To be threatened by, and in competition with, a child speaks volumes about what type of terrible person Rachel truly is," added a third, using Meghan's given name.
"Charlotte is soooo much cooler than Meghan (and Harry, come to think of it) could ever dream of being," declared a fourth, as a fifth chimed in: "The fact that Charlotte is a mini-me of William (and to some extent HLMTQ) is the icing on the cake."
A sixth added: "There's just no contest Princess Charlotte is adored by everyone just like her mum and dad. The gruesome twosome are making the kids a laughing stock just like mum and dad."
"Meghan is jealous because Charlotte has the life Meghan thinks she should have had. The world's favorite girl since birth. Doting and present parents. Lavished with everything the world has to offer," a seventh said, adding: "The irony she was handed some of this magic dust when she married Harry. But it wasn't enough. She wanted what Catherine and Charlotte had."
