Meghan Markle's Affectionate Nature Caused Royal Family Friction: Book Reveals Hugging Controversy

A new book, 'Yes Ma'am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants,' reveals that Meghan Markle's warm and affectionate nature caused friction with the British royal family. Author Tom Quinn claims palace staffers found Meghan's hugging "rude," while Prince William, King Charles III, and Kate Middleton reportedly "flinched" at the displays of affection. The book alleges that Meghan's "hugging and cheek kissing fueled gossip among the staff that Meghan was flirting with William." Meghan herself noted in the Netflix docuseries 'Harry & Meghan' that her natural hugging style was "jarring for a lot of Brits." The cultural differences created a "tense atmosphere" and contributed to the rift between Prince William and Prince Harry. While Kate Middleton has since been seen hugging people at royal appearances, the family feud continues.
