The Secret Life of Royal Servants, by journalist Tom Quinn, has raised shocking allegations regarding Meghan Markle’s behavior while she was part of the royal family. The book, based on interviews with former palace staff, claims that Meghan frequently engaged in physical gestures of affection, such as kissing and hugging Prince William, sparking rumors of flirtation and tension within the royal household.
According to the interviews with royal staffers, Meghan reportedly had a “hug everyone” approach, where she would embrace or kiss those around her, including Prince William. The staffers claim that these gestures, though seemingly innocent, made Prince William uncomfortable. The book states that the tactile nature of Meghan’s behavior led to gossip among the staff, with some believing she was flirting with the Prince, even though she reportedly was not.
Sources also revealed that members of the royal family, including Kate Middleton, Prince Charles, and others, would visibly flinch whenever Meghan attempted to hug them. Meghan’s affectionate demeanor reportedly upset the family members, leading to an uncomfortable atmosphere at the palace. This contributed to the growing tensions between Meghan and her in-laws, particularly with Prince William.
Furthermore, some staff members shared additional unflattering anecdotes about Meghan’s time at the palace. The duchess was described as having a “messiah complex,” with one staffer suggesting that Meghan was focused on becoming the most prominent member of the royal family. She was also reportedly critical of the royal hierarchy, finding it unnecessary and belittling. Meghan’s “new age” approach to many things, as well as her progressive stance on various issues, earned her the nickname “Mystic Meg.”
The book also reveals some playful — and at times critical — descriptions of Prince Harry and his brother, Prince Andrew. One staff member humorously compared Prince Harry to the character of the Prince Regent in the British sitcom Blackadder, noting his tendency to take an unusually long time to dress himself. Meanwhile, Prince Andrew reportedly requested a staff member be moved simply because he didn’t like the individual’s mole.
The new revelations in Yes Ma’am provide a fresh glimpse into the dynamics within the royal family and the challenges Meghan faced during her time in the palace, further fueling ongoing discussions about her relationship with the other royals.
While Meghan Markle has not publicly commented on the claims made in the book, the narrative offers insight into the perceived tensions that have plagued her time with the royal family, particularly with Prince William and other senior members.
