Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton could be the reason of the fab four’s split.

Just recently, the palace announced that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are leaving Royal Foundation to focus on their own charity. This isn’t the first time Prince Harry and Markle decided to split from Prince William and Middleton because earlier this year, they also decided to have a separate household from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Prince Harry and Markle left Kensington Palace and are now in Buckingham Palace.

According to Kietley Isrin of New Idea, there are claims suggesting that Middleton and Markle’s “differing opinions” could be behind the fab four’s shocking split.

Duncan Larcombe also recognized the difference between the two duchesses. According to him, Markle is a strong force compared to Middleton.

“Kate fell into the royal family over a long period of time. Who would Kate be without Prince William? She certainly wouldn't be well-known,” Larcombe told Fabulous Digital.

“Meghan without Harry would have been well-known, so she's bound to have more opinions about her PR, how they promote themselves as a couple, what they do with their kids.”

Unlike Middleton, Markle is reportedly trying to take control of her public image. The new mom is not someone who is just going to sit back and take Prince Harry’s lead on everything.

Before she joined the royal family, the former “Suits” star had a million followers on social media and this is something that Middleton lacked, so there’s going to be a difference between the two.

An insider claimed recently that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex hired new staff to manage their Instagram and hopefully catch up with Prince William and Middleton’s popularity. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge remain the most followed royals at present with over 8 million followers.

Larcombe deemed the move of hiring a separate media team a sign that the fab four are not best friends. Lizzie Cundy said that Markle was “unhappy” that the future king and queen consort are more popular, so she hired a social media expert and this only suggests that their “rift is getting so bad.”
