Royal expert makes shock claim about Meghan and Harry

WOAH! - by Liz Tse
  • 27 Jan 2019

A royal expert claims Meghan Markle’s independence has caused a stir amongst the royal family.

Duncan Larcombe - who covered the royal family for London’s The Sun for many years - claims that Prince Harry has changed since his marriage to Markle, who is expecting their first child in the spring.

"You are the salt of the earth - honest, hardworking and as tough as they come. And that resilience, sense of humour and commitment to the land are the qualities that make you unique. You are the backbone of this country." - Thank you to everyone that came out in the rain in Dubbo to meet The Duke and Duchess of Sussex! #RoyalVisitAustralia #Australia #Dubbo

“All of Harry’s staff have always thought he was fantastic, but the two of them [together] are high maintenance,” Larcombe told The Post, adding that Harry has become “quite grumpy and aloof from his own inner circle of staff. Harry was always very pally with [them], so this is very unlike him.”

“What people love about Harry is that he wears his heart on his sleeve,” Larcombe added. “He’s down to earth, a normal guy trapped in the royal world, and he doesn’t take himself very seriously. But now he is.”

This evening The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the premiere of @Cirquedusoleil's Totem - raising awareness and funds for @Sentebale's work supporting vulnerable children and young people affected by HIV in southern Africa. Their Royal Highnesses met some of the cast members ahead of the show before taking their seats. The funds raised tonight will help @Sentebale - a charity founded in 2006 by The Duke with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho - with their work across Lesotho, Botswana and Malawi.

Duncan also claims that the Duchess of Sussex and former Suits actress is taking out her frustrations on people around her.

“During their tour, just before they were about to go to the Invictus Games, Meghan was bawling at her hairdresser to get her hair right, while at the same time someone was ironing the bottom of the dress she was wearing,” revealed a tour insider.

“As an actress, Meghan expects perfection,” he revealed. “But when you’re in the royal family, you have to learn that it’s not about you, it’s about what you represent.”

A friend of Meghan's has revealed that the former Suits star is keen to make her markt

“Meghan is a great girl — the kind you can go and have a drink with. She’s always there for her friends and is extremely loyal,” the friend revealed to The Post.

“She’s ballsy. She’s unashamedly ambitious — she has a great work ethic — and I can only imagine how that’s gone down inside the palace.”

Today The Duchess of Sussex made her first visit to @TheMayhew since becoming Patron - Mayhew is a grassroots charity working in a unique way to improve the lives of animals and people to better communities both in London and internationally. Mayhew looks for innovative ways to reduce the number of animals in need through pro-active community and educational initiatives and preventative veterinary care. Among the people she met was Wully, a formerly homeless pet refuge service user, and his two dogs Azzy and Gallis - The Duchess found out about the different ways Mayhew's animal welfare officers have supported Wully and his pets over the past 11 years. Her Royal Highness also met Roobarb the dog, who is part of Mayhew's dog therapy programme TheraPaws, which puts smiles on the faces of vulnerable individuals. The Duchess met volunteers who dedicate their time to Mayhew community programmes, including the trap, neuter and return programme, which controls and cares for the feral cat communities in London. And Her Royal Highness was also able to meet the team behind Mayhew's international work, which includes an overseas vet training programme in countries like India and Afghanistan to help improve animal welfare.

But Meghan’s quest to make a mark has ‘ruffled some feather’. As well as Markle's bodyguard, the Duchess' personal assistant Melissa Touabti quit after six months, as did the royal couple's joint private secretary Samantha Cohen.
