Meghan Markle reportedly tried to make private contact with King Charles to ask about why she was prohibited from doing certain things when she was a working royal. Since making the decision to step away from her official role in 2020, Meghan has been criticised for publicly voicing her thoughts on her time as a member of the Firm.
It has been reported that Meghan did try and resolve the challenges she was experiencing behind closed doors, with her having written a letter to her father-in-law. In the message, Meghan is said to have complained about “different rules” that she had to follow while carrying out her royal duties, compared to other members of the Royal Family.
Speaking in a previous video uploaded to his YouTube channel, veteran royal-watcher Neil Sean claimed that Meghan “wanted answers” from the King.
Mr Sean said: “Meghan Markle wants some answers from His Majesty the King. She tried to set up a meeting with him, she sent him a letter and wanted a one-to-one to explain exactly the problems she’s encountered ever since becoming a member of the British monarchy.”
He added that Meghan felt that she was treated differently from other extended family members, such as Sarah Ferguson.
Mr Sean added: “The thing that really riles Meghan is that Fergie pops up on things like the ITV daytime show This Morning, Loose Women and billing herself as the Duchess of York, selling books and possibly doing adverts all under the Royal Family.
“Meghan and Harry seemingly don’t understand why it’s a different rule for her.”
Five years after stepping down from royal life, Meghan and Harry now reside in California with their children, Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four.
The couple have just spent their seventh Christmas away from the royals, their sixth in the US.
Meghan and Harry are reportedly spending New Years on holiday with friends.
