meghan markleFans are questioning Buckingham Palace’s alleged response to Harriet Phillips’ new interview, according to a new report. In June 2026, the former NHS nurse married Peter Phillips, who is 20th in line to the throne. Now, she has opened up about marrying into the royal family in a wide-ranging interview, which was published while another royal event was taking place.
Meghan Markle fans are angry over Harriet Philip’s interview
Harriet Phillips’ latest interview has made headlines amid King Charles and Queen Camilla’s visit to the Caribbean for the Commonwealth summit. In the past, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have faced widespread criticism for seeking media attention while another major royal event was taking place.
However, Buckingham Palace has reportedly not given a similar reaction to Phillips’s 17-page feature in Hello! magazine, sparking outrage among Meghan’s supporters. A royal source gave this information daily Mail Richard Eden, “No one cares about the interview. Not only are the couple low-key, but it’s a very positive article, focusing on their charity work.”
Harriet’s husband, Peter Phillips, is currently ranked 20th among the contenders for the throne, while Harry is ranked fifth. Like his cousin, Peter is a non-working royal, although he generally attracts significantly less media attention.
The perceived difference in reaction of the royal family to X. Prompted criticism from Meghan’s supporters on user @yourthickbigsis Highlighted the contrasting reactions to Harriet and Meghan. She wrote, “I promise you that if Meghan Sussex took a sixteen-page spread in any magazine and only talked about her charity work, like Mrs. Phillips, Richard, the rest of the British press, and their haters would have a lot to say. Let’s stop pretending that Meghan gets equal treatment.”
Another supporter, @PoppyJadebooQuestioned the lack of criticism of Harriet, writing, “I think people are questioning, rightly, why Harriet is not being criticized for this.”
a third user, @sweetieasdAlso indicated that they see it as a double standard. He wrote, “I think it’s nonsense to devote a 16 page story to her, but I find it hypocritical if Meghan did this during the kings visit, you would all go mental, but Harriet is not a biracial royal.”
