Royal Insider: He didn't help Meghan Markle at the palace
Duchess Meghan claims she didn't get enough support from the Royal Family. Book author and aristocrat Lady Colin Campbell believes that Harry is partly to blame for his wife's unsuccessful integration into the British monarchy.
There is enough evidence that Meghan Markle, 38, is not predestined for the role of a British duchess. She grew up neither in the royal family, in the elite circles of British high society, nor in England at all - but as the child of a Hollywood lighting director and an employee in the USA. Former friends and critics describe her as confident, ambitious, political, manipulative and ruthless. Meghan struggles through and makes it to television: She played in the lawyer series "Suits" for seven years and befriends the crème de la crème of society in Canada, where the filming takes place. In the bourgeois world, there is only one person who determines Meghan's life: herself.
For the Royal Family, Meghan is probably the biggest challenge since Lady Diana Spencer. It is her unwillingness to accept the rules of the monarchy and Prince Harry's inability to tame Meghan, which led to Megxit in January 2020. At least that's what Lady Colin Campbell claims in her book "Meghan and Harry: The Real Story".
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan planned to reform the Royal Family
Meghan and Harry met on a blind date in early July 2016, arranged by a mutual friend. "I was wonderfully surprised when I went into this room and saw her. I thought I had to really make an effort," Harry recalled in the engagement interview with the BBC of the moment he saw Meghan for the first time. After that, everything goes very quickly. Already after their third date, the two decided to spend their future together and change the world, reports talent manager and ex-Meghan confidante Gina Nelthorpe-Cown. For the latter, Harry and Meghan seem to have the best prerequisites: Who would let their voice echo louder in the world than one of the most powerful and respected institutions in the world - the British monarchy? The press and the people celebrate Meghan as a breath of fresh air in the palace. But it quickly developed into a hurricane - a Hurricane Meghan, as the newspaper "The Sun" put it months later.
