British Royal News: Meghan Markle Was Too Thin-Skinned For The British Press

British Royal News suggests that Meghan Markle might have been a little too thin-skinned for all of the criticism that she got while she was still a full-time working member of the royal family. That’s because she and Prince Harry couldn’t pry their eyes away from all of the critical things that were said about them on social media. Here’s what you need to know.

British Royal News: Royal Author Says Meghan Markle Was Too Thin-Skinned For The British Press

Tom Bower says in his new book, “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors” that Meghan hated all the comparisons that she got to her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton among other things. Bower writes, “Meghan’s manner towards her staff had become self-centered, manipulative and demanding. Meghan became increasingly fragile, demanding that the Palace staff view the world from her perspective. In self-defense, she demanded retaliation against her critics.”

If that weren’t enough, there was also some major drama that went on behind closed doors, too. Meghan and Harry were apparently obsessed with what everyone was writing about them on social media.

Bower continued, “Meghan was allegedly abrasive towards her four female staff and even towards the local British diplomats. According to one report, Meghan allegedly threw a cup of tea into the air. Her anger may have been partly fuelled by Harry. Every night he trawled social media, searching for snide comments on the internet. Every morning he and Meghan turned on their phones to surf the internet. Thin-skinned, they were inflamed by the slightest criticism. Then, both bombarded their staff with demands for retribution and removal of the criticism.”

That, and Bower also suggests that Meghan might have failed as a royal the same she she failed as an actress in HOllywood. He added, “To her staff, she gave the impression that she believed she personified the monarchy’s importance. Naturally, her American agents and lawyers were encouraging. For years they had struggled to land parts for her.”

In addition, Meghan also blamed the palace for not protecting her enough from all the media’s criticism. “Meghan was angry that Palace officials refused to protect her image. She refused to accept that staff were not employed to promote her as an individual, but instead placed her within the grid of the entire Royal Family. In particular, Meghan fumed about the refusal officially to criticize Thomas Markle. From her perspective, Meghan was isolated, vulnerable and stifled by conventions,” Bower explained.
