British Royal Family News suggests that when Prince Harry said ‘Whatever Meghan wants, she gets,’ he must have really meant it. That’s because there’s a new report that says the Duchess of Sussex was labeled as the ‘Duchess of Difficult’ behind closed doors at Buckingham Palace because of all her multiple and sometimes difficult requests. Here’s what you need to know.
According to Fox News, royal expert and author Tom Quinn says that while things did start of well between Meghan Markle and her royal staff and handlers behind palace doors, it quickly turned sour. While no one knows what really happened, it has been suggested that no one was very pleased with her ‘American’ work ethic. In other words, Meghan reportedly got up at the crack of dawn each day and texted ideas to her assistants – which is something they weren’t used to. That’s when the Duchess of Difficult nickname was born.
British Royal Family News: Meghan Markle Dubbed ‘The Duchess of Difficult’
“The nicknames, they’re inevitable,” Quinn told Fox News. “The British press are famously good at taking someone and building them up and saying they’re absolutely wonderful. And then when that story runs out of steam, they need something else. So they then come up with the opposite. They run that person down… The nicknames were picked up by the press and used against Meghan. They did, in fact, come from the palace.”
If that weren’t enough, many royal staff members saw Meghan Markle as too demanding during her short stint as a full-time working member of the royal family. Quinn added, “I think Meghan felt, ‘I’ve got to really do this. I’ve got to show them that I mean business.’ … I think there’s some truth in it, in the problem being that she’s so different. And so that inevitably made it more difficult from the outset for her to be accepted fully as part of the royal family. And the press is very powerful in Britain.”
“They loved Meghan initially and that actually made it easy for Meghan to feel that she was part of the family,” Quinn said. “But when they decided that story was boring… they emphasized she was difficult because of this difference.”
