Kate Middleton might have recently expanded her influence into her sister-in-law’s usual environment. When Prince William hosted Hollywood actor Eugene Levy at Windsor Castle, the comedian immediately felt a strong connection with Kate.
Reports via Reality Tea suggest that they shared an “instant rapport,” which insiders believe might have left Meghan Markle feeling ‘frustrated and tearing out her hair.’ On Eugene’s TV show, The Reluctant Traveler, William amused him with funny stories about Windsor Castle. However, the main highlight was the Princess of Wales herself. Kate even invited Eugene to join her at her annual Christmas carol service in Westminster Abbey.
He claimed to have a “lovely day” with William but the American Pie star was filmed chatting up his wife. And then he met their dog, Orla.
“Well, I’m a bit of a dog whisperer myself, but the cookies helped,” Eugene told Kate. “It was a memorable day, that’s for sure.”
For her part, Meghan has spent years chasing A-list stars for her Netflix projects. Meanwhile, the ease with which Kate has Hollywood icons eating out of her hand must leave Meg “tearing her hair out with frustration,” a source told Radar Online.
During the visit to Windsor Palace in September, Eugene and William spoke about the prince’s challenging 2024 over a pint. But it was the princess who stole the show.
“Kate has this natural charm that makes people instantly comfortable,” an insider confided. “She genuinely enjoys connecting with creatives, and Levy clearly clicked with her. It’s no surprise he was invited to her carol service.”
“Kate doesn’t chase fame, it [just] tends to follow her,” another source added. “She engages with people authentically, whether they’re British stars or international talent … She’s always been able to turn professional meetings into genuine friendships.”
