Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were reportedly caught off guard after witnessing Prince William’s enthusiastic dancing at Taylor Swift’s Eras tour concert in London. According to Closer Magazine, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex view this as a “calculated move” by the Prince of Wales to ridicule them. Speaking with the publication, an insider noted the significant effort Meghan put into inviting the “Anti-Hero” hitmaker to her podcast, Archetypes, back in 2022.
The insider added that the Sussexes believe William’s viral video, which shows him dancing to Taylor’s tunes, was “another attempt” to demonstrate that they are “firmly outsiders when it comes to the Royal family.”
“It’s no secret Meghan went out of her way to try and build a relationship with Taylor and got nowhere, so it’s hard for her and Harry not to see this as being a calculated way for William and the royals to undermine them further, it’s certainly rubbing salt in the wound,” the insider noted.
“In their view, it’s patently obvious that the royals, and William in particular, love to go after anything they come close to having so this is just being taken as more proof of that and they’re finding it pretty hard to swallow,” they added.
“They already fear everyone is ganging up to have a go at them with William leading the charge, so this whole Taylor thing feels very personal, especially because of how big she is right now.”
The Sussexes’ reaction highlights the ongoing tension between the two royal couples. Meghan and Harry’s perception of William’s actions as a slight suggests a deeper rift within the family. The viral video of Prince William dancing, which delighted many fans, has now become a point of contention, adding fuel to the ongoing family drama.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been navigating their new life in the United States since stepping back from their royal duties. Their efforts to carve out a space for themselves, including Meghan’s podcast, have been met with both support and criticism. The couple’s attempts to engage with prominent figures like Taylor Swift underscore their desire to maintain a high-profile public presence.
Meanwhile, Prince William’s attendance and lively participation at the Taylor Swift concert have been seen by some as a stark contrast to Harry and Meghan’s more reserved approach to public appearances. The insider’s comments to Closer Magazine suggest that the Sussexes interpret William’s behavior as a deliberate effort to undermine their status and reinforce their position as outsiders in the royal circle.
