(Web Desk) - The “Suits” actress, 42, reportedly “wants to be the queen,” according to royal author Tom Bower.
Bower gave his take on the Duchess of Sussex’s longing to be back with the Firm — years after she and husband Prince Harry left England and settled in California.
The “Rebel Prince” writer told Closer Magazine that Prince William’s wife, Kate Middleton, “has everything she wants,” as reported by the Express.
However, upon joining the royal family in 2018 after her wedding to Harry, 39, Markle had hoped to do things “her way.”
He noted: “There’s only one way and that’s the royal way.”
“Kate is glowing, Kate is successful, Kate is popular — everything that Meghan wanted,” Bower said.
The “Spare” memoirist is currently fifth in the line of succession to the British throne — a place that Markle allegedly “doesn’t want to be [in].”
Since heading to the West Coast, Markle and Harry signed a $100 million deal with Netflix and another contract with Spotify worth millions.
But according to Bower, everything that Markle tried to do “undermined her status.”
These moves seemingly eroded away her A-list status, and “instead of going back to the privacy she said she needed,” whenever “she steps out into the spotlight, she loses a bit more.”
“She just cannot win,” Bower explained.
The Post has reached out to the Duchess of Sussex for comment.
Since dropping out of the Windsor clan in 2020, a heated feud has gone among between Middleton, 41, William, 41, the Sussexes and King Charles.
But the tension may simmer down in the new year, with the Invictus Games founder and the former actress hoping to reconcile with the monarch, 75.
Royal expert Ingrid Seward claimed that the couple desire to reunite with Charles in 2024.
“Obviously King Charles wants to see his son and his grandchildren, and last summer he apparently invited them to Balmoral, which they turned down,” Seward told GB News, per the Mirror.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are also reportedly not looking to fix their relationship with Harry and Markle.
“She’s moved on and William has too,” a friend of Middleton’s told People on Dec. 27.
“She’s very focused on what matters going forward. They aren’t looking back.”
