Royal Family offered Meghan Markle full support but she ‘refused to trust them’
The Royal Family offered Meghan Markle their full support when she married Prince Harry but she turned them down due to a lack of “trust”, insiders say.
The royals reportedly bent over backwards to help the Duchess to make the difficult adjustment to royal life but she wanted to do it all herself, according to a new biography of the monarch by royal author Robert Hardman, titled Charles III.
A staffer working at the Palace when Meghan arrived on the scene explained: “”It was Clive [now Sir Clive Alderton, private secretary to the King] who said that if we could get this right for Harry, we’d be creating a blueprint for future younger sons for generations.
“We seconded people from Clarence House, very expert people, to help them, but the Duchess wouldn’t trust them. Those two were offered considerable resource, and then later said that they had been offered no help. And that was completely wrong.”
Despite the couple’s many controversial attacks against the royal family, the 75-year-old monarch is not against burying the hatchet and mending ties. When the 40-year-old Prince returned for a visit in May, he was even offered a room at Buckingham Palace, but chose to stay in a hotel, citing security concerns, the King’s staffer said. He quipped: “I’m not sure you could get anywhere more secure than the Palace.”
It was recently revealed that Prince Harry had a furious response when he was told Meghan was not welcome at Balmoral on the day of the Queen’s death.
