Meghan Markle had to “reassess” some of the “assumptions” she’d made about the British Royal Family after she started dating Prince Harry, a new book has claimed
Meghan Markle had to “reassess” her “assumptions” about the realities of British Royal life after meeting Prince Harry, it has been claimed. The 43 year old, who now resides in Montecito with Prince Harry and their two children, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, was born and raised in Los Angeles before moving to Illinois to attend Northwestern University.
A new book claims that Meghan’s American upbringing led her to make “assumptions” about the royals that reportedly differed from reality. In his new book, Yes Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants – which has been excerpted in The Times– Tom Quinn alleged that when the Duchess of Sussex discovered that Harry was worth around £20million, she “quickly realised” that she had to “reassess other assumptions she’d made about this strange new family”.
As reported by the publication, Tom claimed: “Meghan Markle had a typically American view of the royal family before she joined it – for her, life was all about castles, glittering balls and limitless wealth and ease.
“As one Royal staff member put it, ‘She expected a billionaire and she got a millionaire’.”
In the past, Meghan has opened up about her experience getting to grips with Royal life. During the Harry and Meghan Netflix docuseries, the actress discussed the moment she was taught how to curtsy shortly before meeting the late Queen Elizabeth II, reports the Mirror.
Meghan opened up about the first time she met the Queen, describing it as “surreal.” She recounted the unexpected encounter: “There wasn’t like some big moment of ‘Now you’re gonna meet my grandmother’. I didn’t know I was going to meet her until moments before. We were in the car and we were going to the Royal Lodge for lunch, and he was like, ‘Oh, my grandmother is here, she’s gonna be there after church.'”
