    Meghan Markle’s Affectionate Behavior Was “Jarring” For Prince William and Kate Middleton As It Fueled Flirting Speculation Royal Book Claims

    Meghan Markle’s affectionate behavior was “jarring” for Prince William and Kate Middleton as it fueled speculation that the Duchess of Sussex was flirting with the heir to the throne.

    Meghan Markle’s Feelings Were Often Hurt When Others Recoiled From Her Touch

    A new book by royal expert Tom Quinn, called, “Yes Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants, claims that Meghan Markle’s constant hugging and kissing made the Prince and Princes of Wales uncomfortable.

    Quinn researched for the book by speaking with ex and retired workers from the palace who were open to discussing their experiences with the royal family members they served.

    Royal staff members claimed that William and Kate found Meghan to be “delightful” initially. Still, they felt it inappropriate for Meghan to be so touchy-feely with William as she would hug him whenever they saw each other.

    Meghan Markle’s feelings were often hurt when Kate, William, and Charles would flinch when she tried to hug them.

    The cultural difference “deepened the rift between the brothers,” a royal staffer explained. Meghan, a self-professed “flower child,” would noticeably take offense.

    In Harry and Meghan’s docuseries, Meghan discussed her first meeting with Willaim and Kate. She said she wore “ripped jeans” and was “barefoot” when they came for dinner.

    “Like I was a hugger, always been a hugger. I didn’t realize that that is really jarring for many Brits,”

    Meghan said,  insinuating she received a frosty reception from the royal couple.

    “I started to understand that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside, that there is a forward-facing way of being, and then you close the door and think, ‘Ok, we can relax now.’ But that formality carries over on both sides, surprising to me,”

    She admitted.

    Meghan Has No Respect For Boundaries

    It seems that Meghan has no respect for boundaries. She’s constantly hugging people, whether they appear to want it or not.

    Meghan is one of those awkward people who force hugs. Noticeably, Meghan often hugs strangers in public, and her hugs seem to be a way to comfort herself more than anything.

    She usually likes to hug others when the cameras are rolling. The intention is to show that she’s loved and people like her.

    Meghan’s persistent hugging is forced intimacy, and while the Duchess may feel like it’s rude not to hug back, it’s even more rude to hug someone who clearly doesn’t want to be touched. It’s cringey and unwanted.

    Meghan’s clingy behavior also exemplifies her extreme narcissism. She’s taking control of someone’s personal space without asking herself whether that person feels comfortable or not.

    In Harry’s tell-all memoir, “Spare,” he claimed that William recoiled from Meghan’s hug and that it was evident that he didn’t want to reciprocate.

    Harry described the awkward exchange between his brother and Meghan as a “classic collision of cultures.”

    The Duke admitted he was “more nervous about Meghan meeting William than anyone else.” He must have known Meghan would lean in and try to hug him, as William was never keen on hugging someone he didn’t know.

    Meghan’s stunning lack of boundaries is yet another example of her self-centered and narcissistic nature.
