Fans of The Family Chantel know that Karen and Chantel were not fans of Angenette while she was on the show. They had been talking about her behind her back and didn't feel like she had the best intentions in the relationship.
"It seems like Royal feels like he needs to keep a close watch on Angenette," Chantel said during Season 2. She goes on to say that she feels like Royal doesn't trust Angenette and mentions that she was talking to other American guys since she's from the Philippines.

On top of that, Karen was talking to Chantel saying that she was looking forward to meeting Angenette's parents to see what they're like. "Hopefully they're not pathetic users," Karen said.
Initially, Royal and Angenette met on Facebook while Royal was living in Texas for school. Over time, their feelings for each other grew and he flew over to the Philippines twice to see her. They also got married thanks to a K-1 visa like Chantel and Pedro.
Although now, it looks like the drama is behind them and everyone in the family likes Angenette now. Now that Royal and his wife are back on the show, Pedro is noticing how nice everyone is to her now when the family wasn't welcoming to him when he first met the family. Karen pointed out that the family met him under a lie because when they were on 90 Day Fiancé, but Chantel only mentioned marrying Pedro and the visa process right before the 90 days was up.
On the other hand, Royal was very upfront about wanting to be with Angenette and the true nature of their relationship.
You can watch The Family Chantel on TLC, Hulu, and Discovery Plus.
