Meghan Markle was reportedly left fuming after her charitable efforts received harsh criticism, while Kate Middleton was widely praised for her recent hospice visit. According to recent reports, the Duchess of Sussex felt “bitter” after being labeled a “disaster tourist” following her visit to World Central Kitchen in Pasadena, California, where she and Prince Harry assisted victims of the L.A. wildfires.

Adding to the backlash, Meghan was also accused of “name-dropping” after she shared a video detailing how she reached out to Maroon 5’s Adam Levine to help find a Billie Eilish T-shirt for a fire victim. Meanwhile, Kate, the Princess of Wales, received widespread acclaim for her visit to Tŷ Hafan Children’s Hospice, where her charitable work was met with admiration and support.

Following the stark contrast in public reactions, a source told Closer Magazine that Meghan has been feeling “fuming” and “bitter,” particularly after former U.S. President Donald Trump publicly insulted her by calling her “terrible.”

“Meghan has of course noticed how millions of royal watchers seem to fawn over Kate’s every move – without giving her work so much as a passing look,” the source revealed.

“The fact she was slammed for helping out in the wildfire relief effort while Kate’s held up as this almost saintly figure does hurt her,” they added. “And it really stings that the criticism is just as harsh in America these days as it is in Britain.”

As scrutiny of Meghan’s public image continues, the debate surrounding royal favoritism and public perception remains as intense as ever.
