GB News, The Times, NY Post, Page 6: All report simultaneously regarding William’s Hug Problem

The hypocrisy is too much!

One moment Meghan Markle is supposedly overly affectionate and can’t stop hugging William, and the next, she’s telling him to get his “stinky finger” out of her face? The tabloids and royal commentators can’t seem to make up their minds. That’s because these narratives aren’t based on facts—they’re just part of a long-running smear campaign against Meghan that shifts to fit whatever anti-Meghan agenda is trending at the moment.

Let’s break it down logically. If Meghan were constantly hugging William and making him “uncomfortable,” that would have been reported at the time—not years later when the press is desperate for new angles to attack her. If she were flirting with William, as some of these articles insinuate, that scandal would have been front-page news long before now. Instead, they waited years to craft this bizarre narrative, knowing that there’s no way to actually verify or refute it because it’s all based on anonymous sources.

This kind of inconsistency is exactly how you know it’s all made up. The media and palace insiders can’t keep their stories straight because they’re manufacturing drama rather than reporting actual events. If Meghan had really been touchy-feely with William and invading his personal space, why didn’t this come up in the countless hit pieces about her before? Why didn’t it surface in Finding Freedom, Spare, or even in the infamous palace HR “bullying” report that mysteriously never got published? It’s because it didn’t happen.

Instead, what we do know is that Meghan and William’s relationship soured because Meghan wasn’t afraid to challenge the hierarchy. Meghan and Harry both made it clear that the royal system was deeply flawed, with a rigid, outdated structure that favors senior royals at the expense of the “spares” and their spouses. Meghan refusing to be treated as a subordinate—especially as a biracial, self-made woman who had her own success before joining the Firm—was a problem for the palace. The moment she started asking questions, like why things had to be done a certain way or why she and Harry weren’t being given the same support as William and Kate, she became a threat.

Exactly! The idea that Meghan Markle was constantly hugging Prince William while also supposedly telling him off doesn’t add up. These contradictory narratives are classic tabloid tactics—one day she’s “clingy and overaffectionate,” and the next she’s “rude and defiant.” They can’t even keep their smear campaign straight.

It’s the same pattern they’ve used before:

First, they claimed Meghan was desperate for William and Kate’s approval.
Then, they said she was trying to outshine them.
Then, they pushed the “bullying” narrative.
Now, they’re back to “Meghan was too friendly” while also claiming she disrespected William.
The reality? Meghan challenged the royal hierarchy, and they didn’t like it. Whether she was warm or assertive, they were going to spin it negatively either way.

It’s no coincidence that these “insider stories” always contradict each other but consistently make Meghan look bad. If she had truly been all over William, they would’ve made that the scandal years ago. Instead, they’re just throwing everything at the wall and hoping something sticks.

It’s actually laughable how obvious their game is at this point.

Then there’s the claim that Meghan was “warm and friendly” while also being “rude” and “difficult.” How does that make sense? If anything, these stories prove how desperate the palace and its media allies are to smear her in any way possible. They can’t decide if she was a cold, calculating diva who refused to engage or an overbearing American who wouldn’t stop hugging people. The truth is, Meghan simply didn’t play their game. She treated people with kindness but also had standards. She was open and warm, but she didn’t accept outdated traditions that didn’t make sense. And when she pushed back against the nonsense—like allegedly telling William to get his finger out of her face—she was painted as aggressive and disruptive.

And let’s not forget—William and Kate were reportedly very warm to Meghan at first. William even told Harry to take his time with the relationship because they were all getting along well. If Meghan had been making William that uncomfortable with hugs, there’s no way this wouldn’t have been a concern early on. Instead, it wasn’t until Meghan and Harry started gaining popularity and overshadowing the Cambridges that the negative stories started rolling out.

Another thing to consider: Meghan and Harry were affectionate with the public as well, often hugging people during engagements. They weren’t the stiff, formal royals that William and Kate were. Of course, Meghan was going to be warm in private too. But the idea that she was constantly forcing hugs on people who were visibly uncomfortable is a stretch, especially when she clearly respected boundaries with those outside the royal family.

A new *Times* report claims Meghan Markle’s “constant hugging” of Prince William fueled rumors among staff that she was “flirting” with him, though the article clarifies that she was “obviously not.” Meghan’s warm, affectionate nature reportedly clashed with the royal family’s more formal approach, deepening tensions between William and Harry. According to the report, Meghan was “understandably hurt” by what was described as a “pompous” reaction to her gestures. It also claims that King Charles, Prince William, and Princess Kate flinched when Meghan approached them for a hug, with one staff member recalling that an equerry also recoiled at her attempt at physical affection.

At the end of the day, this is just another case of the royal press trying to rewrite history. When Meghan left, they needed new material to justify why she and Harry walked away. So, they’ve started inserting these absurd claims about her behavior, hoping that people will believe them simply because they’re repeated enough times. But when you actually sit down and analyze the contradictions, it’s clear that none of it holds water.

Meghan is so gorgeous. William is a petty man.

Meghan was never the problem—the system was. And the fact that the royal establishment still feels the need to smear her, years after she’s left, tells you exactly who really felt threatened.

I also don’t see anyone flinching to hug Meghan.
