Rumour has it Meghan Markle was once quite miffed that she wasn’t as important as Kate Middleton and, as such, ruffled a few feathers among palace staff.

According to the Daily Star, the Duchess was so “sensitive” about being thought of as “number two” that she allegedly once clashed with Kate’s staff, after they turned down her requests.

Royal author Tom Quinn, who detailed Meghan’s apparent ill-feeling in his new book Kensington Palace: An Intimate Memoir from Queen Mary to Meghan Markle, recalled the alleged incident.

“It was almost as if in that one encounter, it encapsulated for Meghan the problem that she had, that she’s a Princess and she’s number two,” Tom told the British publication.

The royal biographer described how the incident allegedly took place while the Sussexes were living at Nottingham Cottage, one of the smaller royal residences, which he believes may have fuelled the clash.

As Tom suggested, the size of the regal home may have in some way influenced Meghan’s rumoured perception of being second in line, or as the runner-up.

What’s more, he alleged the occasional tension between the Fab Four may have also led to Meghan losing her temper with a member of Kate’s staff.

“And it was that incident, that I was told by someone who was actually there, who said it was really uncomfortable because Meghan just lost it with this person,” the author claimed.

“The reason she lost it with Kate’s member of staff was that she, Meghan, didn’t feel that this person was giving her the sort of attention she deserved,” Tom alleged.
