I have not heard that George's nickname is Archie. I am guessing that is just a rumor but if true it is not very nice to take the cousin's nickname. It is certainly a strange thing to do. There is a lot of talk that such trouble making is in Markle's nature. She tries to upstage people all the time apparently. I know that there were whispers about Princess Eugenie not being to pleased with Markle's attempts at taking the spotlight away from Eugenie's wedding with the announcement of Markle's pregnancy at the same time.

Again, I have the suspicion that this is all talk meant to sell newspapers but Princess Diana was accused of similar things all the time. Prince Charles became angry a number times because he thought Princess Diana was trying to take away the spotlight from him on important occasions. It made Prince Charles look like a real jerk on a number of occasions. One time she wanted to visit a friend who was dying of AIDS. She was told he had very little time left and so she tried to visit him at his bedside in the most quiet way she could. Prince Charles became enraged because he had some sort of charity function in the same general area and he believed that by going to visit her dying friend she was taking away the media resources that should be following him. No joke. He became extremely angry and threatened her over a visit to her dying friend. He told her not to go under any circumstances and he was truly threatening to her. I believe they were already divorced or in the process at the time.

It is not as if Diana did not attempt to upstage Charles. She did it all the time but his anger and nastiness to her was totally inappropriate. She was accused of all sorts of nonsense anytime she outshone him. Again she could have been smarter about her appearances and a bit more empathetic to her husband's work but she seems to have been attacked over any little thing she did. Sometimes Diana was taken aback by some of the accusation. She was accused of using charity events to undermine her husband and all sorts of nonsense. SO I am a bit skeptical of the more sensational accusations against Markle. On the other hand you have William and Kate who manage to avoid such nonsense easily.

SO is there a genuine attempt by Markle to steal the spotlight and upstage her royal in laws or is this a bunch nonsense to sell papers? It is difficult to say. There is some evidence that she may have an agenda but that was going around about Kate as well and she has turned out to be a fairly respectful public figure.
