Palace Aides Claim Meghan Markle Had 'Messiah Complex' Before Royal Exit: New Book Reveals Tensions

A new book, "Yes Ma'am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants," claims Meghan Markle was nicknamed "Duchess of Difficult" and accused of having a "messiah complex" by palace aides before she and Prince Harry stepped down as senior royals. Author Tom Quinn, who interviewed numerous palace staff, alleges Meghan's ambition to "change the world" was seen as disproportionate and irritating to the royal family. The book also details how Meghan's frequent hugging made some royals uncomfortable, fueling gossip and contributing to tensions, particularly with Prince William. Staff members also claimed Meghan wanted to become the most loved member of the royal family, even stating, "What Diana started I want to finish." The book sheds light on the internal struggles and perceptions that contributed to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's decision to leave royal duties in 2020.
