What I will say without going too off topic is that just because two people share Aug 4 as a day, it doesn't mean their personalities are the same. Astrology is complicated, the year and certainly even time of the day changes things. She also has significant air in her chart.I'm not sure of course, but I'll share personally... I share an August 4th birth date with Meghan, Obama, The Queen Mother, Abigail Spencer (actress), and Richard Belzer (actor, retired from on Law and Order, SVU).
In my younger days, I made a cousin cry.
Happened when we had different viewpoints on a shared situation (whether she had rights to borrow a car without asking first. Car belonged to & was insured by my father for the use of my three brothers and myself. All of us lived at different places in the same college town), and I asserted myself when she crossed boundaries. I would say that there were two valid sides to the situation, and (perhaps unsurprisingly) still feel I was not wrong in my viewpoint. Her valid point would be that when I got pissed off, my tone was truly sharp. I could most definitely have been kinder in the way I let my thoughts be known. To my knowledge, she's the only person I've made cry. 30 years later, after 7 yrs of the silent treatment from said cousin, I have her blocked on Facebook. We were clearly never a compatible pair, but I'll admit it's embarassing to admit I have such a poor family relationship.
The stress of a wedding into a Royal family in a country one is not native to matched with someone newly a mother to a third child seems like the ideal scenario for similar emotions/snippiness to arise.
I surely hope and feel likely Kate and Meghan are more compatible than my cousin and I. In favor of this is Kate's solid, healthy, family-oriented emotional intelligence. Jury's out on Meghan. I'd expect she's truly independent and a genuine driven free spirit, who might rather go it alone than buy in long term to compromises she just doesn't care for. Again, my source is my own personality. I constantly fight myself to put up with situations not of my choosing, a major challenge for me. I get very fixed, solid and strong - like a bulldozer. For me- if forced to deal with something I don't like or stymied long term, it's a question of when -not if- I'm gonna fold, cut my losses and walk away.
Meghan's relations with William may be tougher, though. He might not view the interactions between Meghan and his wife kindly, and I'd expect his wife would have some significant emotional support from him.
That cousin I mentioned? She is also born under the sign of Cancer.
Just sayin'.
Fire and Water can really be tough together.
For me, anyway.
As for the story about Kate crying, no one has even said that Meghan was even there at the fitting, which isn't unlikely. Given that about half of the children in that bridal party were living in a different continent and didn't make their way to London until about 3 days before the wedding, so I'd be very careful about putting that on Meghan. And really, what kind of different opinion can one have about a 3 year old's measurements?
As for William and Meghan's relationship, they seem to be fine and friendly towards each other whenever we've seen them. It's not like it's small kids that live in the same household situation, they all go their separate ways to their own homes.
In terms of being independent and long term compromises, I don't see how they are mutually exclusive? I get that people like to use Meghan's rather small family compared to Kate, but that's hardly a sign of Meghan not caring for compromises to keep the peace. What it seems to me is that while Meghan is independent, she does have long term relationships. She's extremely close to her mother and has friendships that spanned decades. That's not someone who doesn't care to make compromises for the sake of a relationship. EVERYONE makes compromises, just depends on where they draw the line.
