MEGHAN Markle has reportedly never liked Camilla – and the feeling is mutual.
Royal expert Tom Bower reckons the two duchesses have never seen to eye to eye as they are “poles apart” in every aspect of their lives.
The writer, dubbed Britain’s “most feared biographer”, claims Camilla, 74, is “grounded” and “no nonsense” while Meghan, 40, is a “fashionista seeking global fame”.
And he believes when their paths inevitably crossed while the Sussexes still called the UK home, they had next to nothing to talk about.
Mr Bower said: “It is believed that she has never liked Camilla, and I am sure the feelings are reciprocated.
“The two women are only united in their visceral suspicion of the media, their fondness of relationships with men and their enjoyment of parties.
“But otherwise, they are poles apart.”
Part of the reason could be down to Prince Harry still blaming her for “wrecking his parents’ marriage” – but the two women are also different in almost every way imaginable, Mr Bower said.
He continued: “Camilla epitomises the best and — perhaps — the worst characteristics of a practical, solid English upper middle-class woman.
“Under-educated, expert as a horsewoman, a poor cook, keen to do good with lots of old friends, she is grounded and not grand.
“As is customary in her circle, she is a no-nonsense, self-deprecating, plain speaker with a good sense of humour but critically, when necessary, displays a stiff upper-lip.
“As expected, the difference between the Cotswolds and California means that Meghan is in every way the complete opposite.
“As a pace-setting, politically correct woke feminist, a supporter of Black Lives Matter, Meghan has nothing to talk about with Camilla.”
Mr Bower went on to say that even without their political differences, for a girl who was brought up in the Valley, enjoying the sunshine and the Pacific and longing to realise the American Dream, the class-ridden hunting world galloping across the English shires under leaden skies is deeply unattractive”.
“There is no common ground,” he added.
The author, who is working on a tell-all tome about Meghan, went as far as to say their choice of clothes “epitomises what they dislike about each other”.
While Camilla is most comfortable “sloshing through the mud in a Barbour jacket and gumboots”, Meghan “glows best while wearing £20,000 French couture dresses with expensive accessories”.
“As a fashionista seeking global fame, Meghan’s values appear contrived to fulfil her ambition,” he said.
ROYAL DIVIDE
The divide between them was made even clearer after the Queen revealed her “sincere wish” for Camilla to become Queen when Charles takes the throne.
While others have congratulated the duchess, Harry and Meghan have remained tight-lipped.
And Mr Bower believes their silence has been “deliberate” and an “insult” to the Royal Family.
He said: “Perhaps the Sussexes’ deafening silence is Meghan’s way of declaring war.”
