Meghan Markle Disapproved Of Prince William, Kate Middleton's Royal Wedding?
In an entry in her now-deleted lifestyle blog, The Tig, Markle shared her thoughts about the Prince and Princess of Wales wedding in 2011. However, "her comments weren't exactly complimentary," according to The Mirror.
Markle reflected on the girls' fascination with princesses and said that the royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton wasn't something she dreamt of.
"Little girls dream of being princesses. I, for one, was all about She-Ra, Princess of Power," Markle reportedly wrote.
"For those of you unfamiliar with the '80s cartoon reference, She-Ra is the twin sister of He-Man and a sword-wielding royal rebel known for her strength. We're definitely not talking about Cinderella here."
She added that those little girls hold on to their fairytale dreams until they grow up before mentioning Middleton and her royal wedding.
"Grown women seem to retain this childhood fantasy. Just look at the pomp and circumstance surrounding the royal wedding and endless conversation about Princess Kate."
Middleton and Prince William exchanged "I do's" at Westminster Abbey in April 2010 in front of 1,900 guests, including politicians, world leaders and celebrities.
Meghan Markle Had A Royal Wedding With Prince Harry
In 2016, Markle found her real-life prince in the person of Prince Harry. Two years later, they tied the knot at St. George's Chapel on May 19, 2018.
They invited 600 guests to witness them as they exchanged vows, and over 2,000 spectators waited for them on the grounds of the castle, Harper's Bazaar reported.
The bride and groom invited several celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, Amal and George Clooney, Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian, Idris Elba, and more. Prince Harry's ex-girlfriends, Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas were also present.

The couple shared clips and photos from their wedding reception in their Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan which premiered in December. The Sussexes' wedding was also expensive.
Markle walked down the aisle wearing a Givenchy wedding dress designed by Clare Waight Keller, which was estimated to cost US$265,000. Their wedding cake alone was worth $70,000, according to Brides.
According to Hello!, the Sussexes' wedding cost was £32 million while the Waleses' was only £30 million. However, the two royal weddings were seven years apart, and both events spent most of their budget on security.
