Meghan Markle loses first battle with Kate Middleton in UK

Meghan Markle dealt with a first major blow since her UK return as Princess Kate earned big favours.

The two ladies have always been in the headlines due to their reported rivalry, as the Sussexes themselves disclosed the difficult conversations between them and the Waleses during their time as working royals.

Now, the former Suits actress has arrived in the UK, raising questions about which British local brands she may use during much-anticipated public appearances.

But, even before this, a fashion insider told Express that the Princess of Wales will be prioritised by most of the fashion labels as she is the future Queen of England.

The source shared, "We've had to have a meeting about it. We were about to send some products to her team when someone asked, 'Is it worth it?', as we currently have Kate and other royals wearing our brand."

Some serious conversations are happening behind the walls about which side the brands will pick.

Another source shared the inside thoughts of fashion gurus. "The Princess is our priority, and we've decided to continue supporting her.

"We don't want to risk losing her, so Meghan won't be getting anything from us."
