Despite initial efforts by Palace staff to support Meghan Markle and make her relationship with Prince Harry a success, royal correspondent Simon Vigar claims that their subsequent actions have squandered this goodwill.
At the outset, those within the Palace were eager to assist the Duchess and ensure her happiness, recognizing Prince Harry’s desire for a long-term relationship after previous unsuccessful ones. They were particularly pleased to see the positive media coverage of Meghan’s early appearances, which reflected the modern nature of British society.
However, the couple’s decision to step down as senior royals in 2020 has since overshadowed these positive early impressions. Vigar emphasizes that this move has been seen as a betrayal of the support and assistance they received from the Palace staff, who had once gone to great lengths to accommodate their needs.
