REVEALED: Meghan Markle wanted two things the Royal Family could never give her: She was left wanting for two things when she was a member of the Royal Family
Meghan Markle was not a natural royal as she could not adapt to her role in the family, an expert has claimed. She and Prince Harry stepped down as working royals in early 2020, less than two years after they married and Meghan officially became a senior member of the Firm.
Jennie Bond explained that if the Duchess of Sussex desired any control over her life or a coveted spot in the limelight, royal life clearly was not for her.
The former BBC royal correspondent told OK! magazine: “I have always held the view that Meghan failed to understand that she would never be the top dog in the Royal Family… or even the deputy top dog.
“There’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to be in complete control and charge of your life. There’s nothing wrong with seeking the limelight. It’s just that the Royal Family was the wrong vehicle for her ambitions.” However Ms Bond believes that now she is out of the royal spotlight, Meghan is free to work on new projects that interest and motivate her.
She explained: “I’m not sure she craves a superstar profile. In fact she’s been quite low-key in recent times, presumably enjoying her family life in California. “But she has projects in the pipeline with her website and I’m sure she will enjoy being in control of every detail. She is an independent woman with strong views and she is perfectly entitled to deploy her skills in any way she wants.”
