- Meghan Markle Had A ‘Messiah Complex’ When She Joined The Royal Family, New Book Claims: ‘What Diana started, I Want To Finish’ (shefinds.com)
Local sources are reporting on Meghan Markle’s struggles to adapt to royal life. Apparently, the centuries-old traditions and constraints of the monarchy clashed with Markle’s ambitions.
A former staffer reportedly told royal author Tom Quinn that Markle had a “messiah complex,” driven by a desire to champion the poor and marginalized, much like her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana. The source clarified this wasn’t meant critically, as Markle’s intentions were good. However, she reportedly wanted to achieve this with the full support of the royal family while also maintaining a part-time schedule, a balance that proved difficult.
Another reported issue was Markle’s alleged misconception of royal finances. She reportedly envisioned “limitless wealth,” but the reality was different.
A staff member claimed Markle “expected a billionaire and she got a millionaire” upon marrying Prince Harry. This apparent disconnect reportedly led her to re-evaluate her feelings about the royal family, ultimately contributing to her and Harry’s departure.
