Concerns Over Meghan Markle's Royal Ambitions Revealed in New Book

In a new publication, it has come to light that when Meghan Markle joined the Royal Family, concerns were raised within Buckingham Palace about her intentions. Meghan, who married Prince Harry in 2018, appeared set on carving out her own niche rather than adhering to the traditional, collective strategies that the royal staff had in place. The fears stemmed from the belief that her ambitions could overshadow established members of the family, including Princess Anne and Prince Charles, who was the Prince of Wales at the time.

The Secret Life of Royal Servants," pointed out that the palace felt apprehensive about Meghan's plans diverging from the expected norms of royal life. He noted that the nature of the monarchy requires members to conform to certain guidelines and expectations, implying that Meghan did not grasp the extent to which the Royal Family functions as a tightly woven institution. Former courtier insights reveal that matters of hierarchy were paramount, and compromises were expected as part of royal duties.

Additionally, Meghan's dissatisfaction with the royal hierarchy was highlighted by ex-royal staff members who noted her frustration with the seemingly trivial rules designed to uphold the rank and status of senior royals. Some former staffers expressed that she perceived the behavior of her royal counterparts as childish, particularly in their reactions to not receiving similar perks or privileges. This discord between Meghan and the traditional royal expectations likely exacerbated tensions that ultimately led to the couple's decision to step back from their royal roles and seek a new life in the United States.
