Meghan Markle, known for her bold personality, reportedly made light-hearted remarks about the difference in personalities between her husband Prince Harry and his older brother, Prince William, insiders have revealed.
According to royal expert Tom Quinn’s new book Yes Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants, which is set to be published this February, former royal staffers have shared insights into Meghan’s time within the royal household.
These new revelations highlight some of Meghan’s thoughts on the royal family, including her humor about Harry and William’s relationship.
Meghan’s Thoughts on William and Harry’s Relationship
According to sources close to the royal staff, Meghan often joked that Prince Harry and Prince William seemed to have different parents due to their contrasting personalities.
While Harry was seen as “spontaneous” and “chill,” William came across as much more serious.
Meghan reportedly found the differences between the brothers amusing, even remarking, “Harry isn’t pompous at all. He’s chill,” in comparison to his older brother.
A former staff member of Kensington Palace recalled Meghan asking, “Why do William and Charles sound so serious all the time?” These comments reflect Meghan’s more laid-back approach to life within the royal family.
Meghan’s Views on Kate and the Royal Hierarchy
In addition to her thoughts on Harry and William, Meghan also had strong opinions about her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton.
She was reportedly critical of Kate, referring to her as a “goody-two-shoes” and observing that she was “too eager to please.”
Meghan, who often rejected the constraints of royal protocols, felt that Kate was too passive in her role, whereas Meghan herself wanted to carve out her own path and assert her independence.
According to insiders, Meghan’s informal approach, marked by her tendency to offer hugs and her criticisms of the royal hierarchy, led to tension with senior royals.
The Tensions Between Meghan and the Palace
The book also delves into Meghan’s complex relationship with the royal household’s rules and traditions.
Meghan reportedly disliked the rigid hierarchy within the royal family, believing that many of the traditions were unnecessary and only served to maintain the relative status of each royal.
She viewed senior royals’ behaviors as somewhat childish, comparing them to “babies” when they would compete for trivial items like a “gold pen” or a “new car.”
Meghan’s views often clashed with the expectations of the Palace, where senior staff believed in maintaining strict traditions.
Meghan’s ‘Messiah Complex’ and Harry’s Defense of Her
Tom Quinn’s book also explores what he describes as Meghan’s “messiah complex,” claiming she believed her role in the royal family was to bring about significant change, particularly in supporting marginalized communities.
A former member of Meghan’s staff shared that Meghan often expressed her desire to continue the work of her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, by championing causes for the poor and oppressed.
Prince Harry, who was often caught between his wife and the Palace, consistently defended Meghan during her clashes with royal aides.
According to insiders, Harry’s defense of Meghan caused a strain in his relationship with other royal family members, particularly his older brother, William.
A Rift Between the Brothers: Harry’s Frustration with the Royal System
Before meeting Meghan, Prince Harry was reportedly “reasonably happy” and “pretty easy-going.”
He had a close relationship with his brother, William, and his sister-in-law, Kate.
However, after meeting Meghan, things began to change.
The Palace had hoped Meghan would help “keep Harry out of trouble” and give him a more focused purpose.
But Meghan’s desire to be more independent and forge her own path led to a growing rift between Harry and his family.
Quinn reveals that Harry began to feel neglected and undervalued by the royal family, particularly in comparison to William, who was next in line to the throne.
This frustration, according to insiders, eventually led to the “Megxit” decision in 2020.
The ‘Megxit’ Decision and the End of Royal Duties
In early 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan announced their decision to step down from their roles as senior royals and move abroad to seek financial independence.
This move, often referred to as “Megxit,” came after months of tensions and internal discussions.
Quinn’s book explores how Meghan’s desire for a more impactful and independent life led to this dramatic break from the royal family.
According to staff, Meghan’s frustrations were fueled by the Palace’s rigid expectations and her growing dissatisfaction with being sidelined in favor of her more traditional relatives.
Kate and Meghan: The Unspoken Tension
The book also touches upon the ongoing tension between Kate and Meghan.
Despite Meghan’s warm, approachable nature, which included her habit of hugging and cheek-kissing, this behavior reportedly made Prince William uncomfortable.
The Palace’s staff gossip about the two women’s interactions, with some suggesting that Meghan’s affectionate nature might have fueled rumors of her flirting with William.
These interactions, combined with their very different approaches to royal life, contributed to the growing divide between Meghan and the rest of the royal family.
Yes Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants by Tom Quinn provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the royals from the perspective of their staff.
The book, which will be released on February 18, promises to reveal even more about the inner workings of the British royal family.
