It is already known that the royal wedding of Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry caused some disputes. A royal expert is now revealing your interpersonal dealings with the palace employees during the wedding preparations.
The legendary tear dispute between Duchess Meghan, 41, and Catherine, Princess of Wales, 40, seems to have been just the tip of the iceberg of various arguments about the royal wedding in 2018. As author and royal expert Valentine Low now reveals in his book “Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind The Crown”, the behavior of the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry, 38, met with resistance.
Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry: They behaved like “a couple of teenagers”
During an interview by Valentine Low as part of the Daily Mail’s “Palace Confidential” series on YouTube, the author addressed a situation between Duchess Meghan, Prince Harry and their former private secretary, Samantha Cohen, 52. She is said to have been yelled at by Meghan and Harry and said that working with the Duke and Duchess was “like working with a bunch of teenagers”.
Samantha Cohen previously worked for the Crown for 17 years before becoming the Sussexes’ private secretary. She and Harry would have known each other well and liked each other. Low describes her as an “incredibly energetic personality” and “great problem solver” who was “well appreciated”. But they would have asked her to do things that one would not normally expect of a private secretary – he believes she was treated harshly.
In addition, Low addresses several critical situations that are said to have led to arguments between the Sussexes and the palace employees. For example, Duchess Meghan is said to have wanted a fitting with the tiara borrowed from the Queen in the course of her wedding preparations in order to test her wedding hairstyle in advance. However, the manager of the tiara would not have been available, which made Meghan angry. Disputes are also said to have arisen over the choir, the meal and the way the royal household leaked details of the wedding to the press.
Duchess Meghan: She made this “devastating remark”.
In order to keep the press happy about the wedding of Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry, the palace revealed details about the cake, the dress or other things. Once there was a disagreement because Meghan wanted to change a plan because she didn’t like it for “some reason”. As a result, the team would have had to scrap the previous plans. A royal adviser tasked with organizing media coverage of the wedding would have presented Meghan with an alternative plan, but she didn’t like it. Meghan then said to the employee in front of the staff:
“Look, if I could hire anyone else to do this job, I would.”
Low also revealed that Harry didn’t trust the private secretaries of the Queen and his father, King Charles III, 73, and sent them “incredibly rude emails”.
