‘Impatient’ Meghan Markle would ‘try and go first’ at royal engagements ahead of Princess Kate: ‘She has to win’
Meghan Markle would look to be seen first when undertaking royal engagements before stepping down as a working member of the Firm, an author has claimed.
Angela Levin spoke on GBN America and reflected on Meghan’s ill-fated time as a working member of the Royal Family. She told Nana Akua a tell-tale indication was how ‘impatient’ the Duchess of Sussex was while carrying out engagements, reflected by a purported unwillingness to ‘walk behind’ Princess Kate. “She didn’t want to be walking behind Catherine often during the time when they were there.
“She would try and go first into the next room. The aides, some of them would walk incredibly quickly to hold them back because they couldn’t go before Queen Elizabeth, who was alive at the time. “Being polite and understanding where you are is very important. “If she had stayed, she could have been terrific with many of the things she could have done, but she couldn’t wait. She’s very impatient. “She has to win, and she’s shown that with her new website.”
The Duchess of Sussex would have frequented royal engagements alongside the likes of Princess Kate regularly ahead of her departure from duties in 2020. Her and Prince Harry flocked across the pond and now reside in Montecito, California. Meghan launched a new lifestyle brand last week and has been vilified since due to her decision to make the announcement on the same day as the Diana Award.
According to Levin, the move was down to Meghan believing she ‘has to be in the limelight’. “She took away Harry’s spotlight on the day of his mother’s charity”, she said. “He loves his mother, he still feels they’re in connection with the heavens. “He feels like Meghan has sort of replaced her. “He thinks Diana would have adored Meghan and they’d have been best friends. I don’t think that is quite right.
“I think to spoil that occasion for your husband and take the limelight from him is beyond cruel.” A source has claimed Meghan is delighted about her new brand’s name, American Riviera Orchard. The source told the People: “Meghan finds the name American Riviera Orchard perfect. “It feels authentic to her. She can’t wait for the website to launch.”
