MEGHAN Markle’s “say-it-as-you-see-it” attitude is very different to the Duchess of Cambridge’s approach to royal life, it has been claimed.
Meghan and Kate have 'difficulties' claims royal expert Tominey
Meghan and Kate have faced a string of claims that they do not get on. But the Duchess of Sussex’s “American mentality” is something that the royals may not be used to, according to a palace insider.
The source said that royal aides “might not be used to the ‘say-it-as-you-see-it’ American mentality”.
Speaking to People, the insider added that the US-born former actress could “get frustrated” with palace rules.
The royal source said: “The palace is a magical place, and it is also a place where all you hear is ‘no, no, no’.
“The most difficult job in the royal family is to work with Meghan’s ambitions and make them realisable.
“She will get frustrated if she is told ‘You can’t do this or can’t do that’.”
The insider said that Kate “has manoeuvred herself in a different way, but she is still strong”.
It follows intense rumours that Prince Harry and Prince William’s wives have fallen out.
The speculation was prompted by the announcement that Harry and Meghan were moving from Kensington Palace - where they are William and Kate’s neighbours - to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor early next year.
There have been reports of a rift between Kate, 36, and Meghan, 37, over Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress ahead of the royal wedding in May and claims of a row about staff.
And Meghan’s “difficult” behaviour has also been questioned, with claims that Harry’s wife has ruffled feathers in the palace.
However, Meghan and Kate both attended the Queen’s annual Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday.
The lunch brings the Royal Family together ahead of the monarch’s traditional festive break in Sandringham, Norfolk.
Meghan smiled as Harry drove her to and from the lavish banquet, while Kate looked stunning in pink as she made an appearance at the do with William and their adorable children.
Kate and Meghan will come together again on Tuesday, as Kensington Palace has confirmed the Cambridges and the Sussexes will spend Christmas Day with the Queen at Sandringham House.
And the Duchesses are expected to step out with Her Majesty to attend the royals’ traditional morning service at St Mary Magdalene Church.
The 92-year-old monarch has already arrived in Sandringham for her festive break.
The Queen delighted commuters as she stepped off the train at King’s Lynn station just after 12.30pm in a chic headscarf and smart brown coat.
