Meghan Markle, who was “shocked” when Pippa Middleton banned her from her wedding

In 2017, when Pippa Middleton married James Matthews, Meghan Markle was not present at the fairytale ceremony in St Mark’s Church. The duchess, then simple Prince Harry’s girlfriendHe showed up only at the reception following the wedding. A few years later Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, in the book Finding Freedomrevealed that Markle had been excluded from the religious ceremony for a very specific reason: Pippa Middleton and her mother, Carol Middleton, they feared that the former actress could steal the show from the newly wedruining her big day. A version that the real expert Camilla Tomineyin a new article on The Telegraphdoes not exclude. However, adding a detail that Scobie and Durand, friends of the Duchess of Sussex, have kept silent: «Meghan was devastated when Pippa banned her from her wedding».

All the more so she had even bought a dress to attend the big event. Instead she had to fly from America to the UK just to attend the post-nuptial party. And, judging by what Tominey reveals, she was lucky, too. Pippa and Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, they thought to exclude her from that too. But Pippa, “to keep the peace in the family“, in the end he decided to invite Meghan at least to the evening celebration.

But why did the Middleton seniors fear Markle so much? All the fault of Sun, it seems. A few days before the wedding between Pippa and James, in fact, the British tabloid had dedicated a cover to the comparison between Meghan Markle and Pippa Middleton, making fun of how the wedding of the year (“Wedding of the year”, in English) could turn into the wedding of the rears (“Wedding of the rears”, in English). Pippa’s parents, whose shapes had already made headlines at Kate’s wedding with Prince William, they then decided to avoid a war of image, preferring to exclude the actress from the formal ceremony.

Moreover, even the following party was a source of shame for Markle: at the table, in fact, she could not sit next to “her” prince, Harry. All the fault of a “strange rule” established by Pippa. The younger sister of Kate MiddletonIndeed, he had had a somewhat unusual idea regarding the seating arrangement. The guests discovered her when it came time to sit down at the table to eat: Pippa had established that no one should have taken a seat next to their “sweetheart”.
