Fans of Kate Middleton are shocked to learn who the two “biggest divas” in the royal family are, according to a royal expert.
When asked who the biggest diva in the royal family was, Jennie Bond responded, “I think historically, probably Princess Margaret was,” making bold accusations on the most recent royal podcast from the Sun. An actual diva.
“I do think that Meghan had some diva qualities,” continued Bond.
Fans of Princess Kate were incensed by the royal expert’s remarks; one responded, saying, “There’s only royal who possesses all the qualities to win hearts and respect, and she’s Catherine.”
Princess Margaret, Queen Elizabeth II’s younger sister, is frequently regarded as the pinnacle of regal elegance and sophistication. Her disposition was occasionally characterized as “diva”-like. She was occasionally accused of being “rude” to individuals she had just met because of her reputation for not holding back.
Bond had previously stated: “She would express her opinions perfectly. She turned to face Twiggy, the model, after ignoring her for over two hours while she was seated next to her and asked, “Who are you?”
“Well, ma’am, my name is Leslie, but most people know me as Twiggy,” she said. Margaret then turns around and laments, “How unfortunate.”
Bond continued, saying, “She was wonderfully opulent and wonderfully snooty. She also damaged the Royal Family’s reputation by leading a lavish lifestyle, ending her marriage, and pushing divorce into the open.”
A major factor that presumably contributed to Princess Margaret’s image as a “diva” was her turbulent romantic history. She wed photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones in 1960, but their union ultimately broke down in the 1970s, resulting in the first significant divorce in the royal line since Henry VIII.
Bond clarified: “But that, too, has another side because she cleared the way for younger members of the royal family to get out of unhappy marriages.”
However, Meghan Markle, the wife of Prince Harry, once spoke with artist Mariah Carey on her Archetypes podcast on the nuances around the term “diva.”
Meghan has “diva moments sometimes,” according to Carey. As she later acknowledged, the Duchess was “sweating” about this remark.
“So she must have felt my nervous laughter and she jumped right in to make sure I was crystal clear when she said diva, she was talking about the way that I dress, the posture, the clothing,” the former Suits star revealed, clarifying that Mariah’s remarks were directed towards her sense of style.
