A new book, "Yes Ma'am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants," by author Tom Quinn, sheds light on the behind-the-scenes dynamics between Meghan Markle and royal staff, revealing alleged tensions stemming from her perceived 'messiah complex' and Prince Harry's unwavering defense of his wife.
According to a former member of Harry and Meghan's staff, the Duchess held a strong belief in her role within the Royal Family, stating, "What Diana started I want to finish." This ambition, interpreted as a desire to become a global advocate for the marginalized, reportedly led to clashes with royal aides.
The book highlights Harry's tendency to defend Meghan's actions, even when they caused friction with staff. It suggests that Harry, who was previously described as "reasonably happy" and "pretty easy-going," became more invested in Meghan's views and priorities after their marriage.
The book also delves into the couple's initial residence, Nottingham Cottage, which Meghan reportedly felt was a reflection of the Royal Family's perceived "belittling" of Harry. This sentiment, coupled with Meghan's perceived 'messiah complex' and Harry's unwavering support, contributed to a growing rift between the couple and the royal institution.
The book's revelations provide a glimpse into the complex dynamics that ultimately led to Harry and Meghan's decision to step back from their senior royal roles in 2020.
