Prince William was 'having none' of Meghan Markle in a recently resurfaced video that some fans believe points out to a rift before the big fallout.
It has long been believed that the falling out between the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex came after the pair stepped down as senior royals in 2020. However, the recently resurfaced clip from Christmas 2018 suggests tension between William and Meghan, according to eagle-eyed royal fans.
Meghan and Prince Harry were filmed with Kate and William as they left a Christmas church service in December 2018. It was only Meghan’s second traditional royal gathering at Sandringham, but viewers believed the clip showed William blanking his sister-in-law.
The video reported by the Daily Star appears to show that Meghan attempted to catch William's eye while he could be seen avoiding her sight.
The video was posted to TikTok, captioned: "Remember that Christmas where Meghan kept trying to catch William's eye and chat to him but he was having none of it?"
The clip went viral racking up more than 2.3million views and 48,000 likes. Many of the comments suggested that there was already bad blood between the royal in-laws, but a few people suggested an even more controversial take on the clip.
One wrote: “I think the little prince loved the wrong woman… she always looks at his brother”.
The bad blood between the couples has been well documented in recent years. It's been reported that William and Kate were behind the controversial “recollections may vary” line in the Royal Family’s response to the Sussexes racism allegations in 2021.
A palace insider allegedly spoke to Valentine Low in an updated edition of his book Courtiers. An extract published in The Times claimed the original statement being discussed in royal circles had been “a much milder version”.
But William and Kate "wanted it toughened up a bit,” the source said. “They were both of one mind that we needed something that said that the institution did not accept a lot of what had been said.”
