Meghan Markle , the Duchess of Sussex, might be known to the public for various skills; however, during Queen Elizabeth II’s reign, she was accused of being rude to the staff, so much so that the late royal member had to intervene and advise the actress.
Meghan Markle's incident with the wedding caterer
According to the royal biographer Katie Nicholl, Meghan Markle once lashed out at the wedding caterer for not serving vegan and macrobiotic food. In the book ‘The New Royals,’ Nicholl described the incident where she wrote, “On one occasion in the run-up to the wedding, Meghan went to Windsor Castle for a menu-tasting and ended up having a tense exchange with a member of staff, according to one source.”
“Meghan was at the castle to taste some of the dishes, and told one of the caterers she could taste the egg. She got quite upset, saying that the dish was meant to be vegan and macrobiotic,” she further wrote.
After Her Majesty became familiar with the clash, she allegedly had a word of advice with the bride-to-be. “Suddenly, the Queen walked in and said: "Meghan, in this family, we don't speak to people like that,” Nicholl noted.
Meghan Markle's incident with the gardener
No, this wasn’t the only incident that happened between Queen Elizabeth II and Meghan Markle. When the latter was residing at Frogmore Cottage, close to Windsor Castle, the new royal member was so rude to the garden staff that they spoke with Her Majesty. “The head gardener went to complain to the Queen, and she told her off because she obviously didn't like people being rude to staff,” according to The Sun.
According to the Daily Mail, Meghan Markle had a reputation for being rude, and the staff allegedly created a ‘Sussex Survivors Club.’
