According to a report, Buckingham Palace provided the Queen’s top staff with Meghan Markle to serve as ‘mentors’ before being linked to Prince Harry. This contradicts her claim that she did not receive assistance in switching to the royal family.
“It is very insulting to make such a comprehensive generalization,” a source told the Daily Mail. ‘There was a brilliant team of very experienced and loyal assistants to help them. Unfortunately, she and Harry were willing to listen to no one. And that is the honest truth. ”
In fact, Queen Elizabeth II used her most trusted adviser, Samantha Cohen, to help prepare Meghan for her wedding and for royal life, sources told the British tabloid newspaper.
Cohen was also responsible for giving the former actress regular teaching sessions on everything from royal etiquette to diplomatic protocol at Kensington Palace.
“The queen gave her Sam, her most trusted, her safest set of hands,” the source told Mail.
“Yet Meghan told Oprah Winfrey that although the queen was personally ‘wonderful’, she received no guidance on how to behave like a royal, which forced her to Google the national anthem,” the insider added. .
In the explosive interview that aired for the first time on CBS on Sunday night, Markle claims that she did not receive any support until her wedding, and that she even had to Google the British national anthem to join the royal family.
“Unlike what you see in the movies, there is no class on how to talk, how to cross your legs, how to be royal,” Markle told Winfrey. ‘There was nothing of that training that would exist for other members of the family. This is not something I was offered. ”
Markle also reveals that the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew’s ex-wife, taught her how to confess before she met her majesty for the first time.
The Duchess of Sussex also made headlines worldwide when she claimed that someone in the royal family had expressed ‘concern’ to Harry about ‘how dark’ their son Archie’s skin would be. Markle is bisexual.
On Tuesday, the Queen issued a statement saying, “The whole family is sad to learn how challenging the past few years have been for Harry and Meghan.”
‘The issues, especially those of race, are relevant. Some memories may vary, but they are taken very seriously and addressed privately by the family, ‘the queen added. “Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be very close family members.”
