According to a new novel, Meghan struggled with the fact that Harry will never be king, lashing out at servants.

In a shocking new novel, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s wife, is portrayed shouting at servants in the palace she and her husband shared with Harry’s brother William and his wife, Catherine.

Meghan Markle struggled to accept the fact that Harry would never be king, according to the novel, and vented her frustrations on the servants, including one who served Kate.

All of the action unfolded at Kensington Palace, which is the focus of Tom Quinn’s latest book “Kensington Palace: An Intimate Memoir From Queen Mary to Meghan Markle.” The novel, which drew heavily on the accounts of palace servants who have served for generations of royals who have lived there, detailed the deterioration in relations between Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and the royal family.

Meghan Markle was reportedly enraged that her and Harry’s “cottage” on Kensington Palace grounds was much smaller than William and Kate’s grand apartment in the palace, according to Quinn, the book’s writer. She was also imperious to the aid because she was an American commoner who wasn’t used to being waited on hand and foot by servants.

When Meghan yelled at a member of Kate’s team, Kate was shocked, and that was the start of talks about leaving Kensington Palace,’ she said. The former servant is still employed. ‘Meghan overdoes the imperiousness, as do many people who aren’t used to dealing with servants; on the one hand, she wants to be like Diana, a people’s princess, and on the other, she wants people to stand to attention when she clicks her fingers.’ She was the dominant partner in the marriage, according to several palace employees. ‘What Meghan wants, Meghan gets,’ as Harry has said.

Meghan’s rude conduct with the servants led to a slew of derogatory nicknames for Harry’s new wife.

Meghan’s attitude with her staff earned her the nickname Me-Gain, the “Duchess of Difficult,” and even “Di 2” or “Di Lite,” according to reports. According to Mr Quinn’s novel, several of the staff members who didn’t know what to make of the American duchess were relieved when she and Harry left. It meant that a newly refurbished residence at Kensington Palace sat empty.

Indeed, Meghan was the driving force behind her and Harry’s decision to relocate to Los Angeles, a move that shook the United Kingdom and threw the British Royal Family into disarray. According to Page Six, the father of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson reveals that Meghan was the driving force behind the relocation to her hometown of Los Angeles.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are now staying in a leased mansion in Los Angeles, presumably without typical British servants but with the same degree of controversy. Meghan was dealt a big setback this week when a judge dismissed significant portions of her case against The Mail on Sunday, which had published a confidential letter she sent to her father.

And, with former Meghan Markle servants now spilling the beans on her and Harry’s turbulent time at Kensington Palace, the duchess’ frustration with the press is only going to rise.
