The honeymoon of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry is literally over, but also the honeymoon period that the world and, in particular, the British public have known with the Duchess of Sussex is officially over.
Enter: A new era of media coverage
WELCOME TO MEGHAN MARKLE BACKLASH
It was inevitable, is not it? Meghan is beautiful, accomplished, articulate and she's hooked on the most eligible bachelor's degree in all of the UK. At some point, people would like to complain about something. And last week, the British press did it, buzzing about Meghan's "tough" attitude.
It started with The Sun, who reported on November 9 that the Queen was to have harsh words with her grandson before the royal wedding, after he and Meghan were upset that they could not wear the tiara. she had originally chosen the royal treasury. (According to information received, Meghan wanted to wear an enamelled tiara of emeralds, but as the provenance was not known, the royal family refused).

"There was a very lively exchange that brought the Queen to talk to Harry" The sun reported. She said, "Meghan can not have what she wants. She has what I gave her. "… The Queen's message was very strong: Meghan had to think about how she spoke to staff and how to follow family protocols.
The rumor of the tabloids in Britain was fueled by the centrifugal force of this explosive relationship. The Daily Mail quoted a "royal insider" – that old chestnut – who had revealed that Meghan's work ethic, which includes five o'clock in the morning, rain, hail or sun, and an energy of pus which had earned him the nickname "Hurricane Meghan", causes ripples within the royal family. According to this same insider, she sends each day to her collaborator six or seven SMS containing ideas of initiatives.
MORE 'BOMBSHELLS'
Then came the news that Meghan's personal assistant resigned "suddenly" after only six months of work. Samantha Cohen, private secretary to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Edward Lane Fox, Prince Harry's private secretary and Kensington Palace Senior Secretary of Communications, Katrina McKeever, left the team in September.
The reshuffling of staff caused a chronicle in the newspaper last weekend. The Sunday telegraph on "how to talk to staff". (England, you have to like that.) "A few months ago, I told a story about the Duchess of Sussex and her tights," wrote columnist Sophia Money-Coutts. "A staff member at Kensington Palace apparently suggested buying her tights from Marks & Spencer, but she would have insisted on getting them from Wolford, a more upmarket group. The term "waste" has been used to refer to M & S, but this simple expression is probably an exaggeration … "
HI! The knives are out for Meghan
And they are honed just as we speak very.
I am not surprised that this reaction has occurred so dramatically. I read the biography of Princess Diana, published by Tina Brown in 2007.The Diana Chronicles, for the first time recently, and the way we talk about Meghan now reflects the way people talked about Diana and, later, Fergie immediately after their two royal weddings.
Diana and Fergie had staff members in their household who had suddenly retired and the story surrounding them, especially Diana at the time, was that of "difficult" women who wanted them to be focused on them.
Sound familiar? Meghan has to face similar discussions and gossip, mainly because of the fact that she gets up early (good for her), likes to send text messages (she knows how to communicate) and that she has some ideas and – the horror! – opinions about what she wants to do with the immense privilege and responsibility of her new career.
Some say there is no smoke without fire when it comes to rumors about celebrities. Of course, there is probably a basic level in all of Meghan Markle's gossip. I do not doubt that she gets up at five in the morning, that she sends an SMS to her staff and that she has opinions about her work. She looks like most of my ambitious and motivated friends playing a new role. I would have liked to have his kind of work ethic, quite frankly.
BUT READ BETWEEN THE LINES A LITTLE
This kind of behavior in itself is not a problem. This is how this behavior is perceived by these so-called "royal insiders" and that these alleged sources ultimately represent within the royal family. For these royal initiates, Hurricane Meghan may be a terrifying prospect. Perhaps, for them, this backlash could not happen soon enough.
Not me, though. It is important to remember that Meghan is not an aristocratic bubble or a champagne bubble in town. It is a 37 year old woman who has led a full and independent life so far. She has had a rewarding career, refined her sense of social justice, formed opinions about herself and her tastes, and loved and lost them. In short, it is a modern woman who, until very recently, led a good life alone. A life that is not so different, in any case, from the one you or I have. She knows who she is and she is not afraid to be heard.
And if that's what someone calls "difficult", then I think it says more about them so it goes on Meghan.
