Meghan warned: ‘Start acting like a Duchess’

She needs to 'settle down'

As rumours continue to swirl about how ‘difficult’ Meghan Markle is to work for, one royal expert has issued the Duchess of Sussex with some words of advice.

Dickie Arbiter, a former press secretary to the Queen, says the actress must remember her role in the royal family – and it’s certainly not the lead.

“Meghan has got to settle down,” Dickie told the Today show.

“She has got to think about how she is going to operate. And the way she is going to operate is to listen to the officials. Listen to the communication secretary and operate under their advice. Don’t try and be clever. Don’t try and do things yourself.”

Meghan was once a regular on Hollywood red carpets

He went on to say that the 37-year-old needs to ditch her Hollywood status.

“What Meghan has got to do is forget she is on the red carpet of show business – she is now on the crimson carpet of monarchy. She plays a supporting role, not just to Harry but to the Queen as well.

I think one of the things Meghan has got to remember, yes she was the star of soap but there is only one star in the monarchy and that is the Queen.”
