That might also be one of the many reasons why a lot of people who are working or have worked for the Duchess of Sussex have dropped like flies. They simply don’t want to work for her or be anywhere near her for that matter.

Meghan Markle Accused Of Using This Tactic To Control People

In fact, Meghan Markle herself was even heard saying that it’s not her job to coddle people when there were staffers behind closed doors at Buckingham Palace who were complaining about her and her controversial work ethic.

Prince William And Kate Middleton ‘Making Prince George Aware’ Of His Future As King In ‘Best Way They Can,’ Sources Say He’s Known For A While
Image
Prince William and Kate Middleton are doing their best to make sure their kids have a somewhat normal childhood.

The Prince and Princess of Wales’ eldest child, Prince George, is turning 10 on July 22.

Despite his young age, he’s thought to be aware that someday he will be King of the United Kingdom.

It’s thought George may have properly learned about his future as monarch a few years ago, but children’s wear designer Amaia Arrieta — a favourite among George and his siblings — thinks he’s known for longer.

Arrieta told People, “I think George has known almost from the beginning. He has always had a more prominent role — there have been many events with his late great-grandmother or great-grandfather when it was just him, and his siblings weren’t there. I think they must have had that conversation very early on.”

A royal insider told People, “This is all so ghastly.

Harry and Meghan's Daughter Has Already Hit This Important Milestone With the Queen

Despite being an ocean apart, little Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor has already met her namesake. Shortly after Lili's birth on June 4, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry introduced their daughter to Queen Elizabeth II via a video call. A source told People that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex "were very excited and couldn't wait to share that their daughter arrived." Royal historian Robert Lacey, who acts as a consultant on The Crown, remarked that Prince Harry and the queen share a "remarkable bond" that's only grown since his mother Princess Diana's death in 1997.

"[The Queen] was a sort of stepmother for both Harry and William," Lacey shared with People. "We have all focused on her coaching of William as the future King, but we are realizing now the importance of the emotional bonds that she's been able to establish with Harry and their ability to talk to each other directly. That affection remains.

Elizabeth Debicki in The Crown (2016)
[The following story contains spoilers from The Crown season three.]

About a year ago, Robert Lacey, historical consultant to The Crown and author of the new book The Crown: The Official Companion: Volume 2, bumped into Prince Andrew. Making small talk, Lacey asked the prince, second son of Elizabeth II, what he thought of The Crown. "He sniffed and said, ‘Oh, I'd never watch that,’" Lacey recalls. "But I don't think we need a lesson in how to present royalty on television from Prince Andrew."
