The feud between Meghan Markle and Princess Catherine continues?! The Duchess of Sussex is allegedly jealous AF over the future queen’s Christmas concert!
As it was just announced, Kate Middleton‘s annual Christmas carol concert, Together at Christmas, will be put on with the help of A-list actress Kate Winslet this year. An impressive get — so impressive, Meghan is reportedly “seething” over it back in Cali!

A Hollywood insider close to the Sussexes told Radar Online on Monday:
“Meghan is fuming because Kate has pulled off something she couldn’t. Landing an A-lister like Kate Winslet sends a message — it looks polished, classy, effortless — and is everything she is struggling to be.”
It’s especially touchy because Meghan — the actress of the family — hasn’t been able to attract the same level of talent for her own media projects. In fact, the few stars she has lured onto With Love, Meghan have only stirred up more negative drama for her — the last thing she needs! The source explained:
“Meghan struggled to secure big names for her recent Netflix series, so seeing Kate do it with ease has really stung.”
A royal aide familiar with preparations for the upcoming event poured more salt on the wound by pointing out that the Princess of Wales was personally involved in shaping the service:
“Kate wants it to feel warm and unifying. She believes the concert is a chance to highlight kindness and connection at a time people need it most.”
And it just so happens that in securing top talent, she’s only deepening her rift with the Suits alum! A production insider claimed the contrasting public images of the two ladies is only making the feud worse:
“Kate’s project feels rooted in duty and community, which resonates with people en masse. … Meghan wants to be seen as shaping cultural conversations, but when Kate steps forward with something like this – and brings in a respected figure like Winslet — it inevitably invites comparisons and sends Meghan mad with jealousy.”
It doesn’t help that a senior entertainment source said the news of Kate Winslet’s involvement in the royals’ show was viewed in the film industry as an endorsement of sorts:
“Kate Winslet doesn’t attach her name to something lightly. For her to stand with the Princess on this project signals real respect.”
And so, as they seem to be implying, the fact Meghan can’t get A-listers means people don’t respect her? OUCH!!!
Another source familiar with Meghan and Harry said the Confessions of a Female Founder podcaster has been left “seething” because of this:
“Meghan knows this will be one of the most-watched royal moments of the year. Seeing Kate at the center of it — and surrounded by talent she couldn’t draw — has left her seething.”
Damn! It’s a blow to Meg’s ego, that’s for sure!
