Meghan Markle Refuses to Return £7m Worth of Wedding Gifts, Despite Royal Protocol

In a surprising turn of events, former assistant Melissa has revealed that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has refused to give back £7 million worth of wedding gifts.

Prince Harry himself admitted to this revelation, shedding light on a breach of royal protocol.

The couple was informed prior to their wedding in 2018 that they were required to return any gifts received at the venue, but it seems Meghan chose not to comply.

The royal wedding in May 2018 attracted enthusiastic fans who gathered near Windsor Castle in hopes of catching a glimpse of the newlyweds.

As is customary for weddings, many fans wished to present gifts to celebrate Harry and Meghan's special day.

However, an obscure rule prevented the couple from accepting these tokens of affection.

Before the wedding, an official statement was issued, advising well-wishers to send gifts to Kensington Palace instead of bringing them to Windsor.

According to previous reports, Kensington Palace stated that the consent of a member of the royal family to accept a gift should be contingent upon the understanding that the gift would not be exploited for commercial purposes.

This rule aimed to prevent the royal family from becoming walking advertisements.

While many respected this guideline, some guests chose to disregard it and brought gifts directly to the wedding venue, hoping to capture Meghan's attention.

An anonymous royal insider leaked information about the situation, claiming that initially, both Harry and Meghan refused to return an estimated £7 million worth of gifts.

However, they were eventually compelled to comply.

Meghan was reportedly unhappy about having to return the gifts but reluctantly did so.

It is worth noting that there is a specific protocol for sending presents to members of the royal family.

According to the official royal family website, the family can only accept gifts in the form of food or flowers that are valued under £150.

Any gifts intended for commercial gain are strictly prohibited.

This policy ensures that the royal family remains impartial and does not endorse any particular brand or product.

It seems Meghan's disregard for this protocol extends beyond her wedding gifts.

Allegations of bullying have surrounded Meghan, with reports suggesting that she confronted a staff member who had contacted a company sending her freebies, informing them that it was against protocol.

Melissa Tubati, who worked as Meghan's personal assistant, left her position at the palace after just six months.

It is believed that Melissa was one of the women mentioned in the bullying report.

The memoir written by Prince Harry also sheds light on Meghan's behavior, revealing that she kept some gifts for herself while sharing others at Kensington Palace.

It appears that Meghan felt entitled to keep these freebies, despite the protocol prohibiting it.

Prince Harry seemingly supports her actions, considering it acceptable as long as she gives away items she doesn't want.

This behavior aligns with their perception of themselves as charitable individuals, but it raises questions about their understanding of rules and policies.

Meghan likely only gave away pieces she didn't like or that didn't fit her properly, while eagerly acquiring whatever she could.

This sense of superiority and disregard for rules is not surprising, given Meghan's track record.

Her wardrobe in the first year alone cost Prince Charles a staggering one million pounds, surpassing the expenses of all the royal women in the major European monarchies combined.

It's no wonder that Charles was hesitant to continue financially supporting the couple.
