Those closest to the couple assert that they are genuinely 'fuming' about William and Kate's newfound popularity and are starting to feel concerned about the growing fascination with them in Hollywood.
From OK! Magazine:
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry moved to California to escape royal life, but will Prince William and Kate Middleton's plans to expand their work to the U.S. disrupt the Sussexes' careers in Tinseltown?
It was revealed that the Prince and Princess of Wales filed to trademark The Royal Foundation of The Prince and Princess of Wales with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. As the Wales began to tap into their global coterie, insiders claimed the Sussexes were "fuming" over it.
"You’d be surprised how many big stars reached out to William and Kate to let them know they have their support amid this feud with Harry and Meghan,” the source told an outlet.
Although Meghan and Harry were embraced by many entertainment professionals, some A-listers wish to befriend the U.K.-based pair instead.
“They may have moved to California, but it’s William and Kate who had the most support out there, and there is a certain level of smugness about that," the insider explained.
Despite the years of tension between the group, who were once dubbed the "Fab Four," the anonymous friend claimed William and Kate always intended to bring their humanitarian efforts to the U.S.
“They insist that they’d be doing this regardless of where the Sussexes live, but there is no doubt they’ll enjoy showing Meghan and Harry how Hollywood is still very much obsessed with all things royal,” the insider added. “Everyone wants to be around them."
How ironic it is that Meghan and Harry believed stepping away from the royal family would boost their fame. Yet, as fate would have it, their choice to renounce their royal duties keeps coming back to haunt them.
