Leading royal author Tom Bower claims Meghan Markle<\/a> sought to deliberately clash with Princess Catherine of Wales<\/a> when deciding on dates of events and announcements. In his explosive new book, ‘Betrayal: Power, Deceit and the Fight for the Future of the Royal Family’, Mr Bower claims Meghan carefully thought about how to promote her Netflix show, ‘With Love, Meghan<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The author writes, in an extract serialised by the Times<\/a>: “While deciding on the launch date of Netflix<\/a>\u2019s trailer for her new series, and before announcing the Harper\u2019s interview, Meghan\u2019s publicists spotted that Kate would be attending the Royal Variety Performance in London on November 19.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “A clash, but also perhaps perfect timing. For Meghan… in the days before Christmas was make or break. If all those carefully organised events failed to relaunch her in 2026, the Sussexes\u2019 future would become bleak.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Meghan Markle<\/a> was slammed for trying to steal Princess Catherine\u2019s “thunder” after a diary clash last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Duchess of Sussex shared a new trailer for her Christmas special<\/a> on Netflix just as the Prince and Princess of Wales were out in London, attending the Royal Variety Performance on November 19 which even featured a Prince Harry<\/a> cameo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It showed Meghan in Montecito, California, as she shared how she likes to make this time with family and friends especially memorable and meaningful. The show included multiple celebrity guests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In addition, the holiday show was launched on December 3, on the same day that German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier began his state visit to the UK, and just two days before Princess Catherine\u2019s Christmas Carol Concert at Westminster Abbey on December 5<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
