Meghan Markle's Alleged Royal Ambitions

It's March 31st. Welcome in. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News, where pop culture meets

AI. I'm Cory with the story. A new book called Betrayal by author Tom Bauer drops some

wild claims about Meghan Markle and her time in the royal family. He says she straight

up believed she was prettier and smarter than Kate Middleton and that she should have been

the next queen instead. Bauer shared this while promoting the book on a podcast, painting

Meghan as someone who didn't get the whole royal succession game. He also alleges an insider

told the late Queen Elizabeth that Meghan thought marrying Prince Harry in 2018 would make

her basically a god in the public eye. In her mind, she outshone Kate and looks, brains,

and work ethic, so why not her on the throne after King Charles? Royal watches are buzzing

because this highlights the real hierarchy. Prince William, as the first born, locks in

the top spot with Kate as Queen. Harry's position as the spare, made Meghan reportedly

bummed about never ruling, which fueled their exit from royal duties back in January

20. 20. They pushed for a half and half out deal, but got shut down so they bounced to

chase independence. Then came the big Netflix bucks from their 2022 docuseries where

they aired all the family dirt. Now Netflix seems done with them, dropping deals like

Meghan's lifestyle brand. And Bauer says she's paying the price for that betrayal while

the royals hold steady.
