Kate Middleton Hated Meghan Markle’s American Habits
There’s a new report that says the Princess of Wales was left ‘jarred’ over one of Meghan Markle’s very American habits. And it was quite an unusual one, too.
Back in 2017, the future queen of England couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable when Meghan Markle met her for the first time and leaned in for a hug.
For Meghan, she was used to hugging people that she first met, even though she didn’t know them. But she wanted to show that she was willing to develop a close bond with her future sister-in-law.
But Kate Middleton didn’t see it this same way. The move certainly did make her feel very nervous.
Meghan even recalled the moment in her Netflix docuseries, Harry and Meghan. She said at the time, “When Will and Kate came over, and I met her for the first time, they came over for dinner, I remember I was in ripped jeans and I was barefoot.”

Did Meghan Markle Go A Little Too Far?
“I was a hugger. I’ve always been a hugger, I didn’t realize that that is really jarring for a lot of Brits.”
Prince Harry wrote in his book, Spare, that Prince William reacted the same way when Meghan Markle tried to hug him, too.
He wrote, “I introduced Meg, who leaned in and gave him a hug, which completely freaked him out.”

“He recoiled. Willy didn’t hug many strangers. Whereas Meg hugged most strangers. The moment was a classic collision of cultures, like flashlight-torch, which felt to me both funny and charming.”
“Later, however, looking back, I wondered if it was more than that. Maybe Willy expected Meg to curtsy?”
Meghan herself has made no comments about the matter.
