Meghan Markle’s Behaviour in the Royal Family Raises Concerns
The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has been accused of berating a Windsor gardener to such an extent that the late Queen was forced to intervene, according to a royal insider. This incident is just the latest in a string of allegations about Meghan’s behaviour within the Royal Family.
According to royal historian and author Hugo Vickers, the head gardener at Windsor Palace complained to the Queen about Meghan’s behaviour towards a royal under gardener. "The head gardener went to complain to the Queen and she told her off because she obviously didn’t like people being rude to staff," Mr Vickers told LBC. The Queen reportedly drove to speak with Meghan in a bid to give her a dressing down over the incident.
Allegations of Bad Behaviour
An ex-courtier also alleged that during her time at the Palace, there were "definitely bad, very bad, even psycho moments" involving Meghan. These allegations are part of a growing narrative about Meghan’s behaviour within the Royal Family. In another incident, an unnamed source told The Sunday Times that they witnessed people being "chewed up" by Meghan, both in person and over the phone.
Comparison to Kate Middleton
A new tell-all book, "Yes, Ma’am: The Secret Life Of Royal Servants", by Tom Quinn, reveals behind-the-scenes accounts from inside Buckingham Palace, including the behaviour of royals such as Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle. One member of Palace staff revealed to Quinn: "Kate is Meghan Markle without the messianic complex." Another recounts how Meghan was focused on becoming the most well-known royal, with the insider revealing her desire to become the most loved member of the Royal household.
Meghan’s Desire to Follow in Diana’s Footsteps
According to Quinn’s book, one royal staffer claimed that Meghan said: "What Diana started, I want to finish." The same staffer went on to add that Meghan’s desire to follow in Diana’s charitable footsteps was strong, but seemingly on a part-time basis. Another member of staff recounted the awkwardness of initial meetings between Meghan and the Royal Family at Kensington Palace.
Initial Meetings with the Royal Family
One said: "It was extraordinary because she was so confident that you could see she wanted to run the meeting rather than learn about the Royal Family through the meeting. She was a great believer in grabbing the bull by the horns – except the Royal Family is not really a bull." Another added: "Meghan thought she knew better than an institution that has been in business for 1,000 years and more."
Conclusion
The allegations about Meghan’s behaviour within the Royal Family raise questions about her role within the institution. While the Royal Family has not commented on these allegations, they do highlight the challenges of integrating into the Royal Family, particularly for those with vastly different backgrounds. As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to navigate their roles within the Royal Family, these allegations are likely to remain a topic of discussion.
