Former Palace Worker Reveals Meghan’s Displeasure with Royal Rules

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, reportedly found one of the most important rules that royals have to follow as silly, according to a former palace worker.

In Tom Quinn's book, “Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family,” the former staff member claimed that Meghan struggled with the rule that requires royals to announce in advance when they are leaving the palace and where they're going.

While this rule is partly for security reasons, it also ensures that a senior royal is not upstaged by a more junior royal leaving at the same time.

The former palace worker emphasized the importance of this rule, stating that Meghan thought it was silly when, in fact, it is absolutely essential.

The source further revealed that Meghan's disappointment with the royal family was shared by others, including Prince Charles.

They believed that much of the protocol was silly but acknowledged the difficulty in changing it.

On the other hand, Prince William has embraced the protocols, resulting in his children, George, Louis, and Charlotte, having a more conventional appearance.

According to the expert, Meghan desired a different upbringing for her children, one that offered American freedom to express themselves and go wherever they pleased.

However, being part of the royal family means adhering to strict protocols on a daily basis.

For example, the monarch and heir to the throne, or two heirs, are not allowed to travel together to avoid putting their lives at risk simultaneously and to ensure the monarchy's survival.

This rule applied to Prince William and Prince Harry during their upbringing, though Prince William and Prince George have broken it in the past.

While there is no official rule against royal heirs traveling together, it ultimately falls under the monarch's discretion.

The expert suggested that Meghan may have wanted to upstage other members of the royal family, particularly Princess Catherine, by not announcing her destination.

However, this behavior was seen as rude and entitled rather than modern and rebellious.

The book also revealed that Meghan faced challenges in adapting to royal life.

She was treated in a slightly condescending way by the royal firm due to her non-royal background.

Meghan had anticipated living in Windsor Castle but was instead given Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace.

The former palace worker expressed Meghan's frustration with having to follow orders and participate in endless royal engagements.

Another staff member at Kensington Palace described Meghan as a nice, smiley, and super positive person who was used to being in control of her own destiny.

However, she found herself in an institution where she had no influence and where roles were assigned and unchangeable.

Meghan was captivated by the worldwide fame that being a princess would bring, but she was shocked by the strict palace protocol and her position in the pecking order.

Meghan isn't the only former royal to have issues with these strict protocols.

Princess Diana, Harry's late mother, also faced similar challenges and broke many royal protocols during her time as an official royal.

Royal protocols for the British royal family are known to be intense, ranging from restrictions on makeup to rules about playing certain games and consuming specific foods.

When Meghan Markle joined the royal family, she captivated the world with her Hollywood background and relationship with Prince Harry.

However, her experience within the royal family left viewers disillusioned with her disdain for certain royal rules.

While some may sympathize with Meghan's desire for freedom, being a member of the royal family requires adhering to strict protocols and traditions.
