The “hostage” is how he would have been nicknamed in 2018, on the eve of his marriage to the American actress.
Meghan wanted to go to the hairdresser with the tiara she was supposed to wear at her wedding, to try it on with the hairstyle, but the palace refused to let her out with the valuable item.
This setback in the preparations for the wedding sparked a heated exchange between Prince Harry and Angela Kelly, Queen Elizabeth’s closest housekeeper, reports the gossip media Page Six.
“Angela told Harry that the tiara was priceless and could not be loaned out at short notice,” a source told the Telegraph. “Harry was furious and shouted, ‘What Meghan wants, Meghan gets,'” the source assures.
The new revelation is made public shortly after news broke that Meghan intimidated housekeepers at Buckingham Palace.
Despite the first choice of the crown jewels, Markle was still unhappy, assures the person familiar with the matter. “She was constantly looking for reasons to say that she had been deprived of certain things. She wanted dramatic situations to arise. ”
Meghan and Harry were removed from their royal duties after moving to Los Angeles last year.
The potential crisis caused by the broadcast of the interview-confession granted by the “Sussexes” on American television, nearly a year after their withdrawal from the monarchy, worries at Buckingham Palace.
The tone was set in an excerpt broadcast by CBS: we see the Duchess of Sussex accusing Buckingham Palace of “peddling lies” about the couple’s decision to move away and settle in California.
The interview “will almost certainly cause embarrassment for the royal family,” British royalty expert Richard Fitzwilliams told AFP.
