Kate Middleton’s former personal assistant takes swipe at Meghan Markle
Kate Middleton’s former longtime assistant, Natasha Archer, has unfollowed Meghan Markle on Instagram.
Archer, who was the Princess of Wales’ right-hand woman for many years, recently made her Instagram page public — but has since made it private again — along with some changes.
Eagle-eyed royal fans noticed that Archer, who had followed the Duchess of Sussex’s As Ever brand, has since given them the heave-ho, according to People.
Markle’s account wasn’t the only one that Archer is no longer following.
She reportedly no longer receives updates from several Markle pals, including her makeup artist Daniel Martin, Deflina Blaquier and Heather Dorak.
Archer also hit unfollow on Highbrow Hippie, the page associated with Markle’s hair colorist, Kadi Lee.
However, not all of Markle’s inner circle were banished.
The former royal aide is still following Markle’s “Suits” co-stars, Abigail Spencer and Sarah Rafferty.
She follows the official accounts for her old bosses, as well as King Charles and Queen Camilla.
Other royal accounts made the cut, including Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice’s husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
Earlier this month, Archer unexpectedly resigned from royal service after working with Prince William and Middleton for 15 years.
She reportedly made the decision to leave Kensington Palace to set up her own private consultancy business.
She began working for the royal couple, both 43, in 2010 as a personal assistant.
Archer grew close to the Princess and became her unofficial stylist, encouraging her to be more adventurous with her sartorial choices.
“Initially, Kate was a reluctant fashion icon, but now she enjoys it. Tash helps source some of the clothes,” a source told Vanity Fair in 2014.
“She shops a lot for Kate online, and calls in hundreds of dresses for Kate to try on. She has persuaded Kate to take some more risks. The hemlines are shorter and Kate’s really pushing the boat out in the fashion stakes.”
Last summer, Middleton promoted Archer to be her and William’s private executive assistant.
Archer, who will be setting up a consultancy firm, is married to Getty royal photographer Chris Jackson, with whom she shares two sons.
