\n
\nInterest in the royals has been up and down over the years, but it\u2019s been at an all-time high over the last few years thanks to William and Harry. Well, thanks to their wives anyway. Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have caught attention from people all around the world, and no one ever seems to get bored of them. It\u2019s probably because they represent two very different backgrounds, but have still both ended up in the same position.
\nWhile Kate had a more upper-class upbringing in a secure family unit, Meghan was a child of divorce in a family often struggling for cash. While Kate focused on improving her education and working for her parents, Meghan embarked on a career in acting. Both had success in their fields and eventually caught the eye of their respective partners, producing the two happy couples that we know and love today.
\nWhile Meghan and Kate might be the source of a lot of media attention, there\u2019s still a fair bit we don\u2019t know about them. Are they princesses? What do they do with their day? Do their in-laws like them? These questions have plagued us for a while now, but thankfully we\u2019ve found answers.
\n[post_page_title]How William and Kate met[\/post_page_title]
\nTheir love is admired by many, but how did it all start? Well, William and Kate first set eyes on each other when they went to the University of St. Andrews together. He studied a degree in geography, while she focused on the history of art, and their interest in education slowly made way for their romance.
\n
\nThings between them were initially kept quiet to avoid Kate getting hounded by the media, but the news made it out eventually. Thankfully, that didn\u2019t stop them from walking down the aisle together.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Why does Meghan keep her hands in her pockets?[\/post_page_title]
\nMeghan\u2019s fashion sense is something that a lot of people are interested in. That\u2019s the case with a lot of the royals, especially the female ones. However, while it was her looks that used to catch our eyes, now it’s something else. Meghan regularly goes around with her hands in her pockets, and we\u2019ve been wondering why.
\n
\nSurprisingly, a body language expert has suggested this is because Meghan would rather be away from the public eye. As a newlywed, maybe she just wants more alone time with her husband.
\n[post_page_title]Did Kate grow up with money?[\/post_page_title]
\nKate has never struggled for money. While her parents might not have been royals, that doesn\u2019t mean they weren\u2019t raking in the big bucks while raising Kate and her siblings, Pippa and James.
\n
\nThanks to their business, Party Pieces, the couple have worked hard for their money, and their children were able to reap the benefits of it. The Middletons\u2019 net worth stands at around $38 million, and we\u2019re sure Kate\u2019s connection to the Royal Family has been a big help for generating sales.
\n
\n[post_page_title]When did William and Kate tie the knot?[\/post_page_title]
\nKate walked down the aisle in her Alexander McQueen wedding dress on April 29, 2011. The date was almost a decade after they began studying at the University of St. Andrews together, and less than a year after William\u2019s proposal.
\n
\nThe prince got down on one knee during a holiday in Kenya, and obviously, Kate said yes. It\u2019s a good thing too because their wedding is now one of the most popular broadcasts in the history of television. People all around the world tuned in to watch them get married.
\n[post_page_title]Is Meghan a practicing vegan?[\/post_page_title]
\nWhen you\u2019re a celebrity, people want to know everything they can about you. It\u2019s the best way for them to try and replicate your success and become a famous face themselves. Something that a lot of people have picked up on recently is Meghan\u2019s eating habits.
\n
\nWhen she used social media, many fans noticed she\u2019d regularly eat foods most associate with veganism. So, does that mean Meghan is a practicing vegan? Well, no, not entirely. Though she does try to maintain that lifestyle on weekdays, she isn\u2019t a true vegan.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Why is Kate’s engagement ring so special?[\/post_page_title]
\nMillions of people around the world were incredibly excited when it was announced that William and Kate would be getting married. Once the initial euphoria was over, though, there was one thing many people wanted to know – what did the ring look like? They had good reason to be interested because it was one beautiful piece of jewelry.
\n
\nThe 14 solitaire diamonds and 18-karat white gold band was amazing enough, but it was the sentimental value that made the ring truly special. It had once belonged to Princess Diana, William\u2019s late mother.
\n[post_page_title]What’s up with Meghan’s height?[\/post_page_title]
\nMeghan isn\u2019t a small woman. Her height of five foot, six inches places her above the average height for an American women, yet she always seems so short whenever she\u2019s out with her new family. What\u2019s the deal with that? Well, it\u2019s nothing to do with her size, but rather the size of all her in-laws.
\n
\nMany members of the Royal Family, including William, Kate and Meghan\u2019s husband, Harry, are significantly taller than her. So, whenever they\u2019re together, she usually stands out as the smallest of the group.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Why did Kate and Queen Elizabeth II fall out?[\/post_page_title]
\nIf you\u2019re marrying into the Royal Family, then you have to get along with the Queen. That\u2019s basically an unwritten rule. We don\u2019t want to imagine how the monarch might react if she didn\u2019t like someone\u2019s other half. Luckily for William and Harry, their grandmother seems to get along with their partners.
\n
\nHowever, things haven\u2019t always been that way. Kate and the Queen had a falling out not long ago after the former asked if she could forgo some of her royal duties to tend to her children. The answer was no.
\n[post_page_title]Who did Meghan use to be married to?[\/post_page_title]
\nMarrying into the Royal Family when you\u2019re a divorcee simply doesn\u2019t happen. The only person to do so had to abdicate just to be with the one he loved. However, Meghan broke all the rules when she and Harry tied the knot because she\u2019d been married once before.
\n
\nHer first husband was Trevor Engelson, a film director and talent agent. The pair met in 2004 and dated for seven years before marrying in 2011. However, their love wasn\u2019t meant to be, and things ended only two years later.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Does Kate make a good mother?[\/post_page_title]
\nIt\u2019s not our place to judge a woman\u2019s ability as a mother, especially when we can\u2019t see the full picture. However, it\u2019s clear to see how much Kate loves her children. If she\u2019s willing to fall out with the Queen just to spend more time with them, then it\u2019s obvious where her feelings lie.
\n
\nKate has always tried hard to give her little ones the best childhood possible, even cutting down on nannies so that they spend more quality time with her. That sounds like a good mom to us.
\n
\n[post_page_title]How Harry and Meghan met[\/post_page_title]
\nWe expect there are plenty of women around the world who are incredibly envious of Meghan Markle for landing herself Prince Harry. They\u2019re probably wondering how she even crossed paths with the man. After all, how often do you run into a prince?
\n
\nFortunately for Meghan, she has a mutual friend to thank for finding her true love. This person set her and Harry up on a blind date in July 2016, and the rest is pretty much history. They were already falling for each other on the first date!
\n
\n[post_page_title]How does Kate maintain her figure?[\/post_page_title]
\nWe\u2019re sure that Kate could keep the fashion industry going by herself. All she has to do is wear something, and it sells out immediately. Everything she wears looks amazing, but that\u2019s probably because she has an incredible figure.
\n
\nGiven she spends so much time either doing her royal duties or looking after the kids, you have to wonder how she keeps weight off. Well, apparently it\u2019s the latter that\u2019s helping her stay slim. As a mom, she\u2019s on her feet so much that she gets plenty of exercise.
\n
\n[post_page_title]When will Meghan get pregnant?[\/post_page_title]
\nIt was slightly over a year and a half after getting married that William and Kate announced they were expecting their first child. Now that Harry and Meghan have tied the knot, questions are starting to be asked about when they\u2019ll be having kids. As of yet, there\u2019s been no official word on the matter.
\n
\nWe expect the couple sees a future with several little ones, but they\u2019re not in a rush. After all, they\u2019ve only been husband and wife for a few months. Give them some time to enjoy themselves.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Can Kate be called a princess?[\/post_page_title]
\nUnderstanding royal titles isn\u2019t always easy. You might have assumed that when Kate married William, who had the title of a prince, that she\u2019d become a princess. Instead, she became the Duchess of Cambridge, while her husband became the Duke. This is because of Kate\u2019s lineage as a non-royal.
\n
\nWhile her children have the titles of prince and princess because their father has royal blood, she will never be known that way. The closest she comes to that title is when she\u2019s referred to as Princess William of Wales.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Can Meghan be called a princess?[\/post_page_title]
\nJust like her new sister-in-law, Meghan will also never receive the title of a princess for the same reason. While Harry might have spent his whole life living as a prince, his wife will never discover what it means to have such a title.
\n
\nInstead, she\u2019ll have to settle for being the Duchess of Sussex, which we think is still better than nothing. Besides, when Prince Harry is your husband, there are a lot worse things in the world than not being called a princess.
\n
\n[post_page_title]What is Kate’s job?[\/post_page_title]
\nAfter marrying into the Royal Family, Kate took on a lot more responsibilities. Any of the jobs she worked before the wedding, including the role she played in her parent\u2019s company, were a thing of the past.
\n
\nNow, her primary duty is to assist the Crown whenever possible, which generally means attending various events as a representative for the Royal Family. It\u2019s not a bad deal when your job involves going to banquets and presenting awards, although she does have to combine those with her motherly duties.
\n
\n[post_page_title]How is Meghan spending her retirement?[\/post_page_title]
\nHarry and Meghan\u2019s engagement shocked people for a number of reasons. One of these was because Meghan was best-known as an actress, which isn\u2019t the kind of career that a royal is normally associated with.
\n
\nFor seven years, she was a leading cast member on legal drama \u201cSuits,\u201d but she\u2019s since given up her TV career to be with her love. While she might be retired from acting, though, that doesn\u2019t mean she\u2019s sitting at home all day. She does the same things as Kate, minus the motherly duties.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Can Kate become the Queen of England?[\/post_page_title]
\nEngland has been under the rule of a woman for 65 years now, and they\u2019ve gotten pretty used to a female monarch. It will be a strange experience when the Queen passes away, especially since a King will ascend the throne.
\n
\nHowever, for anyone hoping that we\u2019ll have a Queen again when William takes the crown, you\u2019re in for a disappointment. Once again, due to Kate\u2019s lack of royal blood, she can never truly be Queen. Instead, she\u2019ll be known as Queen Consort, which we think is a reasonable compromise.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Is Meghan Markle her real name?[\/post_page_title]
\nIt might sound like a bizarre question, but there\u2019s a reason that people have been asking it. That\u2019s because Meghan Markle is not actually her real name. Or rather, it\u2019s not her full name. She was born Rachel Meghan Markle, but she decided to lose the first part when she became an actress.
\n
\nThat\u2019s because she figured Meghan Markle had more of a ring to it, and she\u2019s not wrong. It\u2019s hard to imagine her as anything but Meghan, but for all this time we\u2019ve been led to believe in a lie.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Does the Royal Family like Meghan?[\/post_page_title]
\nMeeting the in-laws is usually a stressful time, especially when you\u2019re desperate to make a good impression. However, when your boyfriend is the prince of the British Royal Family, that pressure is multiplied by a million. Luckily, the Queen gave her grandson her blessing for the marriage, and the wedding went ahead.
\n
\nHowever, things haven\u2019t been completely smooth sailing for Meghan and her in-laws since she became a royal. All the drama with the Markles hasn\u2019t impressed the Queen very much, though she still seems to be friendly with the duchess.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Are Harry and Meghan actually relatives?[\/post_page_title]
\nIt\u2019s like a twist in some TV drama, but it\u2019s true. Harry and Meghan are technically related, although only very distantly. Their connection goes all the way back to an ancestor from the 15th Century, a man by the name of Ralph Bowes. He\u2019s their great – times 14 – grandfather, making the husband and wife cousins.
\n
\nThat might seem disturbing, but it is a very distant connection we\u2019re talking about here. When you think about it, we\u2019re probably all related in some way, so there\u2019s no reason to be weirded out.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Which granddaughter-in-law does the queen like more?[\/post_page_title]
\nIf there\u2019s anyone that Kate and Meghan want to impress the most, it\u2019s probably Queen Elizabeth II. Not only is she their husbands\u2019 grandmother, but she\u2019s also the reigning monarch. Getting the seal of approval from her is like the icing on the cake, and one of these two ladies seems to have earned it.
\n
\nThe answer to which one it was lies in the Queen’s letters of approval for her two grandsons\u2019 marriages. She described Kate as \u201ctrusty and well-beloved,\u201d but said nothing special about Meghan. Sorry, girl.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Does Kate get jealous of Meghan?[\/post_page_title]
\nKate used to be the royal getting all the attention, but over the last year, Meghan has been stealing the limelight. She\u2019s young and fresh, and she has all the beauty and charm that Kate also possesses. That would be reason enough for William\u2019s wife to be jealous, especially as she\u2019s been a little out of the spotlight recently.
\n
\nHowever, Kate has nothing but love for her new sister-in-law. She\u2019s happy for Meghan to take some of the attention away from her, as she\u2019s more concerned about raising her kids anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
