Meghan Markle is ‘PICKY’ and ‘likes to MOVE ON quickly’ says former agent in SHOCK claims
MEGHAN Markle has been accused of being “picky” and someone who “likes to move on” quickly, in a shocking revelation by the princess-to-be’s former agent Gina Nelthorpe-Cowne, it has been reported.

Ms Nelthorpe-Cowne, 52, revealed the ruthless side of Ms Markle in an interview with the Mail on Sunday, in which she described Prince Harry’s future bride as “difficult” to work with after travelling the world with the former actress.
The entrepreneur however described Ms Markle as “delightful, warm, personable - and hugely charismatic".
She also noted that the bride-to-be “instantly brings you into her world”.
Yet Ms Nelthorpe-Cowne has not had any correspondence with the future royal since the week prior to the announcement of Ms Markle’s engagement.
To see Harry, she needed to swap schedules with her co-stars. She was worried about wanting to be here [in London] and how she was going to manage that
The agent said: "One day we were having lunch on the Strand in London and it was obvious it was getting very serious with Harry.
"I said: 'This is serious. This is the end of your normal life, the end of your privacy – everything.'
"But she just held up her hand and said: 'Stop. I don't want to hear any negativity. This is a happy time for us."
Ms Nelthorpe-Cowne described the 36-year-old as someone who hates “negativity” and is “so focused on what she wants” that she will stop associates in their tracks if they question her decisions.

This amounted in the entrepreneur receiving a letter from Ms Markle’s lawyers the last time she emailed the future royal.
The pair officially split professionally in October 2017, a week prior to the announcement of the royal engagement, but the former agent claims Ms Markle “changed” around the time that the royal couple started to get serious.
She claims that Meghan’s changing behaviour was due to “anxiety” over her blossoming relationship with Prince Harry and fears about how to maintain it long-distance in between her intense filming schedule.
She said: “To see Harry, she needed to swap schedules with her co-stars. She was worried about wanting to be here [in London] and how she was going to manage that.”
Ms Nelthorpe-Cowne noticed the dramatic transformation of Ms Markle during a trip to Ottawa to attend a One Young World event in September 2016.
She said that when Ms Markle was asked by a reporter to say “a few words”, the former actress reportedly snapped: “Talk to my agent.”
The former agent said: “The journalist was taken aback and I was a little shocked because she had never done that before.
“She was always warm and accommodating to everyone previously, which I think is her real nature.
“From that moment on, it seemed to become much harder for her to do anything outside the official brief.
Ms Nelthorpe-Cowne also expressed her sadness when being told that Ms Markle would be giving up her career.
She said: “She wrote a lovely email in October, a week before the news about her and Harry became public, saying that she was giving up her career and we had to terminate our contract.
“I was disappointed, I'll admit. I realised it meant losing her as a friend as well as a client.
“Professionally, we were just about to sign a big deal with a leading skincare brand and there was talk of a book, but of course I understood why her commercial engagements had to come to an end.
“There was no way she could continue her corporate work while maintaining the relationship with Prince Harry.”
Despite the abrupt end to Ms Nelthorpe-Cowne’s personal and professional relationship with the princess-to-be, she remains distinctly positive Ms Markle’s future.
“She'll be great – it's a positive thing for the whole nation. I do wonder how she'll cope, being in the public eye so constantly, with no private life at all.
“But I think she's right: Meghan and Harry will change the world.”
