Kate And Her Privilege

It’s fairly safe to say that Kate was born into privilege, and lived a particularly privileged life. Even though she wasn’t born into royalty, her family were wealthy. Growing up, she attended various boarding schools, as well as the prestigious University St. Andrews. Before she met Will, Kate’s family were owned a successful online party gift company. This meant her parents could support her, and Kate lived in their apartment worth around $1.3 to $1.8 million before she got married.

Meghan And Her Privilege

Meghan Markle was also born into a privileged family. Thanks to her family, she was able to attend a Catholic private school, and went onto study at Northwestern University. Although Meghan didn’t exactly experience the same level of privilege and wealth than Kate. Her story was different, as her parents divorced when she was just six years old, leaving her mother to raise her on her own. So they did struggle a little with money and while Markle was trying to get her big break in acting jobs, she had to support herself with multiple other jobs. In fact, Meghan had to work incredibly hard for her money and find fame.
