Meghan Markle’s Struggle with Palace Insiders Revealed: The Truth Behind Her Royal Exit

The pressures faced by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry from the media have been no secret since they announced their decision to step back from their roles as senior royals in January.

However, it seems that the troubles extended beyond just the media.

Palace insiders, who remained anonymous, continued to speak to tabloids about the couple, predicting their failure and accusing them of selfishness.

But it wasn't just external pressures that plagued Meghan; insiders within the palace were also to blame for her struggles.

According to a friend who spoke to the Sunday Times magazine in May, Meghan believed there was a conspiracy against her from people within the palace.

This led her to isolate herself when they moved to Frogmore.

The relationship between Meghan and the members of the various households was contentious right from the start, and it appears that the royal family may have played a part in poisoning the well.

Even before Meghan and Harry had been together for long, aides were already gossiping about the speed at which their relationship was progressing.

Senior royals also joined in, with one unnamed individual referring to Meghan as Harry's showgirl and another claiming she came with a lot of baggage.

Prince William himself expressed skepticism about Meghan's intentions to his aides before even meeting her in November 2016.

After their wedding in May 2018, internal drama over staffing became a constant topic in the tabloids.

Meghan's personal assistant, Melissa Tubarty, resigned just six months after joining the palace team in March 2018.

Reports emerged, criticizing Meghan's behavior and work habits, including her habit of emailing at 5 am.

The Daily Mirror published a story suggesting that Tubarty's resignation was a result of the bad treatment she received.

An unnamed palace source praised Tubarty, saying, “Meghan put a lot of demands on her, and it ended up with her in tears.

She is hugely talented and played a pivotal role in the success of the royal wedding.

She'll be missed by everyone in the household.”

But the challenges for Meghan didn't end there.

Even during her pregnancy and the birth of her first child, Archie Harrison, she faced a barrage of social media hate and wild conspiracy theories.

One such theory suggested that she had used a surrogate or faked her pregnancy entirely.

However, it's worth noting that Meghan is not the first royal to face such speculations.

Back in 1688, King James II's wife, Mary of Modena, was also subject to similar claims.

Despite having over 42 witnesses present during the birth of her son, stories circulated accusing her of sneaking a baby in a warming pan or through a secret door in the bedhead.

This was referred to as the first media circus surrounding a royal birth.

In 1948, Queen Elizabeth abolished the custom of birth verification, granting royal women more privacy during childbirth.

However, recent reports suggest that the Queen is reconsidering this decision for Meghan due to her repeated attempts to spread falsehoods about her children.

A royal source close to the family revealed that the Queen plans to teach Meghan a lesson, backed by irrefutable evidence.

When examining the coverage of Meghan's time in the royal family, it becomes challenging to discern what information comes from reliable sources, what is driven by disgruntled individuals, and what is merely workplace gossip.

According to Scobie and Duron, different staffers within the palace had their own struggles.

Some found their jobs significantly more challenging with Meghan's arrival due to the invasive press attention.

Others, referred to as traditionalists, had a dislike for Meghan from the beginning and attacked her even before it was clear if she would join the family.

The revelations about the challenges faced by Meghan Markle within the palace shed new light on her decision to step back from her royal duties.

It is clear that external pressures from the media were not the sole reason for her departure.

The toxic environment within the palace, fueled by gossip and animosity, played a significant role in Meghan's struggles during her time as a senior royal.
