Now that the latest edition of Finding Freedom has appeared, the tabloids are trying to piece together a timeline of the couple's move to California and what the friction between them and other family members may mean in the future. And certain allegations that have been dug up and are now once again making the tabloids, if true, will provide much insight into why Camilla and Meghan fell out last year.

Whether or not one believes that the incident, which occurred last March, caused as big a stir as some sources claim probably depends on whose side of the story one is looking at.

According to Russell Myers, the Mirror's royal editor, who reported this at the time (opens in new tab), Camilla Parker Bowles and Meghan Markle fell out in March 2020. During Camilla's speech announcing the #everyonesproblem social media campaign to support survivors of domestic violence, the other royals were apparently told to keep silent on social media. Princess Meghan, however, posted a photo from the National Theater at the same time as Camilla's speech.

Camilla reportedly took the photo as a personal insult, and Meyers quoted an unnamed source as saying, "Of course, it was known that Harry and Meghan were getting engaged this week, and some of it was private, but everyone agreed that Camilla's speech should take priority. We were in agreement. Unfortunately, some people had other ideas." This event apparently caused a rift between the two women at the same time that Harry and Prince Charles were facing serious tensions.

It is possible that Meghan's post was completely coincidental, as she was attending her own event that day and obviously wanted to bring attention to the National Theater.

In any case, it remains to be seen whether this event was a significant reason for the falling out that ultimately sent Harry and Meghan to California, or just one of many microaggressions.
