^^ If it was too much for Kate, she could have moved on. I suppose she and her mom held on and kept their cool throughout the 'uncertain' ordeal for a reason. And still, what Kate endured over the years of waiting for Will to pop the question, is nothing compared to the relentless 24/7 dragging in the tabloids Meghan faced before and after marrying Harry, especially when she was pregnant. Not to mention the death threats; the disgusting BBC caricature; the vile online Megxit trolls; the Markle family being tempted by the media to cash in; the harassment by the tabloids of everyone with some close or former connection to Meghan; and Archie being compared to a chimpanzee, etc, etc. As well, the ongoing, constant blaming of the Sussexes for everything and anything. Some Sussex haters have even had the gall to try and blame the
Tatler fiasco on Meghan.
All these subsequent articles, like the
Vanity Fair piece and a
DF spin story by Richard Kay, et al, are attempts to bury and reframe the supposedly 'embiggening of Kate'
Tatler article that landed 'like a thud.' The editor-in-chief of
Tatler, Richard Dennen (who is or was a friendly acquaintance of Kate's from college), pushed back after KP tried to distance themselves from the article. Apparently, Dennen has receipts. He has also previously bragged on Instagram that his mother once had lunch with Kate, and he's known to have gone on a couple of ski holidays with Kate back-in-the-day. Most likely, Kate and KP were aware of the article, thought it would be a fluff piece and gave permission for so-called 'friends' to speak. Still, it's rather murky as to why the article threw shade at Kate's family and was so OTT in some of the phrasing about Kate, as if mocking her.
And then of course, there's the ridiculous slams in the
Tatler article against the Sussexes which are the same slams that have appeared all year in other tabloids like
The Sun and the
DF, about Kate being upset with M&H over her & Wills having 'extra workload,' etc, etc. The crazy slam that the Sussexes threw the Cambridge kids 'under the bus' is a new OTT idiotic take though!

Since M&H took their major patronages with them, and no one is doing any royal tours at the moment, I'm not sure where the 'extra workload' is coming in. It's a false claim, especially in light of M&H being told to 'dim their light,' and to 'move far away,' when they were working hard and successfully within the royal family fold.
The crap about M&K in the lead-up to the royal wedding is complete nonsense. How many times is it going to be re-spun? It was a leak in the first place from KP that somehow 'Meghan made Kate cry,' then that claim was officially denied. Later it was said that Kate was suffering from post-partum depression and Meghan had 'bride jitters' which is why there were tensions between them during a dress-fitting for the bridesmaids. The gossip about these supposed tensions has been all over the place and back again. The stuff about 'tights' is ridiculous. Plus, a busybody sister-in-law really needs to take a long step back and occupy several seats when it's not her wedding.
As I said previously, there's a lot going on behind-the-scenes than meets the eye. There always is. More than one book could be written about all the levels of what's going on and why.

But the entire drama is just sooooo exhausting to dissect in short order! Oh but oops, there's
that word again.

Twitter sure has been having a field day with the #KateMiddletontopCEO and #CatherinetheGreat memes.
What goes missing for most mainstream observers is the fact that
Tatler is a British publication for snobby aristos similar to the Turnip Toffs (the Norfolk aristo set who are neighbors of the Cambridges). It's being said that Kate was never fully accepted by some of those snobs, albeit she was more acceptable to that group than Meghan. The difference is that Meghan isn't British, and she was never trying to be accepted by snobby aristos. She married for love, and she's a self-made woman who's comfortable in her own skin and unbothered by foolish nonsense. The Sussexes are not interested in playing games with the British media or with snobby aristos. In any case, another obvious point is that no one managing the royal firm were concerned when Meghan was routinely slammed in
Tatler, with old pictures of her on the magazine's cover, intended to ring up sales! In fact, when Richard Dennen was appointed as EIC of
Tatler in early 2018, he reportedly said in casual conversation:
"Tina Brown had Diana. I have Meghan Markle." 
Brown was EIC of
Tatler before she moved on to
Vanity Fair and later to
The New Yorker.
It has been reported that W&K 'sent legal letters' to
Tatler threatening to sue if they didn't take down the online article. Even if Dennen has receipts, he's probably going to back down, since he's reportedly removed all of his tweets from social media. Meanwhile, the magazine's hard copy has apparently already gone to press. Stay tuned.

Whatever happened to putting on a 'stiff-upper-lip,' while not complaining nor explaining?

This whole drama has definitely served a purpose in distracting from Andrew's woes and the recent Netflix documentary series on Epstein and his crimes.
