Meghan Markle ‘wanted to be rejected by royals from day one’ and was ‘plotting Megxit all along’, book claims
MEGHAN Markle always wanted to be rejected by the Royal Family from day one, a bombshell book has claimed.
Courtiers: the Hidden Power Behind the Crown, alleges the Duchess of Sussex was “obsessed” with the narrative which helped lay the foundations for Megxit.
Times reporter Valentine Low writes how Meghan “forgot” how the Palace helped and supported her when reflecting back on her experiences as a working royal.
And instead, she has since focussed on all the times it failed her, the book claims.
It comes as…
- Meghan Markle’s staff branded her ‘a narcissistic sociopath’ and called themselves ‘Sussex Survivors Club’, book claims
- Bombshell claims Harry found out Queen died on news when making his £30k jet dash
- Prince Harry feared he would become irrelevant when nephew George turned 18
- Meghan moaned that she should get paid for carrying out royal engagements with Harry according to bombshell book
- Reports that Meghan told Harry she would break up with him if they didn’t go public
- The seven bombshell claims revealing how Harry and Meghan’s Royal life unravelled
- Meghan allegedly made aide burst into tears when William went to comfort her
Low quotes one ex-staffer as saying: “Everyone knew that the institution would be judged by her happiness.
“The mistake they made was thinking that she wanted to be happy.

“She wanted to be rejected, because she was obsessed with that narrative from day one.”
During Meghan’s explosive Oprah interview last year, the duchess told how she felt suicidal while for the Firm.
She went on to claim she was turned away by Palace HR after going to them for help – something Low said was “inevitable”.
HR, he explains, is responsible for employees, not members of the Royal Family.

And he suggests cynics would claim Meghan was merely “laying a trail of evidence” to back up her narrative of rejection.
Suggesting such “evidence” hinted at Meg’s plan to quit royal life, Low adds: “A succession of perfectly decent people, all of whom believed in Meghan and wanted to make it work, came to be so disillusioned that they began to suspect that even her most heartfelt pleas for help were part of a deliberate strategy that had one end in sight: her departure from the royal family.
“They believe she wanted to be able to say ‘Look how they failed to support me’.”
His book claims Private Secretary Sam Cohen, PR executive Sarah Latham and assistant press secretary Marnie Gaffney were among staff left stunned by the Duchess’ behaviour after she and Harry married.
Sam Cohen is said to have issued regular warning that the Palace would need to show it offered a “duty of care” to Harry and Meghan – should anything go wrong in future.
This proved necessary in the wake of the Oprah drama, during which Meghan made various claims against the Firm.
Low quotes one source saying: “The duty of care was crucial.
“[Sam] was a broken record with them on that.
His book details a catalogue of jaw-dropping allegations levelled at Meghan and Harry during their time as working Royals.
One insider alleges Harry was “just as dismissive” to staff as Meghan and sent “horrible emails” to senior aides.
Another source claimed everyone in the Palace was “run over” by the pair.

Also in the book is the allegation that staff branded Meghan – who has vehemently denied previous allegations of bullying – a “narcissistic sociopath”.
Workers also allegedly claimed they “were played” by the Sussexes.
