The Meghan Markle drama strikes again, this time with another of the Duchess' close friends being at the center of social media outrage over her comments directed towards Catherine, Princess of Wales. But Kaur's comment section is on fire because what was supposed to be a piercing critique of Markel has simply turned into a chaotically giant game of telephone, sending Kaur spiraling down with it, as her defense of Meghan backfires big time.

With her unapologetic defense of Meghan Markle, Kaur made ZERO apologies in blasting Catherine on social media with statements that seemingly centered around race. In a now-deleted post, Kaur accused Catherine of perpetuating "privileged, racist" behavior within the royal family, suggesting that Catherine's role in the family is based on her white privilege. Kaur went on to imply that Meghan, as a woman of color, was subjected to unfair treatment and scrutiny because of her race, with Catherine’s image being largely untouched by the media in comparison.
The inflammatory remarks were quickly met with fury, especially from royal supporters and even some critics of Meghan. Many felt that Kaur had crossed a line by dragging race into the already heated public discourse surrounding the royal family. Critics argue that this latest attack on Catherine was divisive and lacked merit, with some pointing out that Catherine has always been lauded for her efforts to support various causes and for her consistent advocacy on mental health and children’s welfare.
Social media erupted in both defense of Catherine and condemnation of Kaur's statements. “This is not the way to support Meghan or address racism,” one Twitter user wrote. “Turning everything into a race issue only cheapens important conversations and divides people further.” Others were quick to point out that Meghan and Catherine have often been held to different standards, but not necessarily due to their race.
Kaur’s comments have now overshadowed Meghan’s own messages, and her attempt to troll Catherine has done little to help Meghan’s public image. It’s left many questioning whether this will lead to further friction between Meghan’s camp and the royal family, or if it will mark yet another chapter in the Sussexes’ long-standing battle with the British press and the institution.
While Meghan has not directly commented on Kaur’s remarks, it’s clear that the fallout is affecting public perception of her and her supporters. As tensions continue to rise, royal watchers are left wondering if Meghan’s inner circle will continue to fuel the fire of controversy, or if this latest incident will force the couple to reconsider their approach in dealing with the royal family.
