After her marriage to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle harbored dreams of becoming the Beyonce of the United Kingdom, according to a royal biographer’s latest book, Courtiers.
The Duchess of Sussex, driven by intrigue, ambition, and the powerful figures within the House of Windsor, sought stardom beyond her royal obligations.
In March 2020, she made the decision to step away from her royal duties and establish her own business.
Since then, both Meghan and Harry have secured lucrative multi-million dollar contracts with major streaming services.
According to royal biographer Valentine Lowe, Meghan’s desire for fame and acclaim was evident.
“I think they felt she wanted the stardom, she wanted the acclaim,” Lowe stated in an interview with Fox News.
It seemed that the Duchess was less interested in the traditional duties of ribbon-cutting and hospital openings that often come with being a member of the royal family.
Instead, she relished the attention and focus that her celebrity status brought.
However, despite enjoying the spotlight, Meghan struggled to grasp the significance of her interactions with strangers during public appearances.
The Duchess found it challenging to understand the importance of the countless handshakes and meet-and-greets that were part of her royal engagements.
In a related development, Netflix recently announced that the controversial series featuring the Duke and Duchess of Sussex is now the second-highest-ranking documentary in the history of the streaming platform.
The news came as Netflix reported a significant increase of 7.7 million subscribers between October and December 2020.
Notably, this period also saw the introduction of an ad-supported option priced at $7 or £5.65 per month.
In the series, Prince Harry made startling claims about his relationship with his family.
He alleged that during the Sandringham summit, his father, the Prince of Wales, yelled and screamed at him, leaving him terrified.
Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace have remained silent on the matter.
Additionally, Harry accused Kensington Palace of lying to protect his brother, Prince William, when they denied a report suggesting that William had pushed him out of the royal family.
Furthermore, during the crisis conference with Queen Elizabeth II in January 2020, Harry accused his father, Prince Charles, of lying.
In another development, Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” has achieved record-breaking sales in the UK since records began in 1998.
In its first week alone, the book sold an impressive 467,183 copies, making it the fastest-selling non-fiction book in the country.
The memoir includes explosive allegations, such as the King’s envy of Meghan and the late Princess Diana, as well as physical assaults by Prince Charles and mockery of Harry’s panic episodes.
Despite his criticism of his family members, Harry expressed his desire for his children to have a relationship with the royal family in various high-profile interviews.
He also referred to his mother, Princess Diana, as his guardian angel, always by his side.
Meanwhile, Princess Kate made a public appearance in Leeds, capturing the attention of royal admirers.
Demonstrating her lifelong commitment to highlighting the importance of early childhood development, Kate launched a new initiative called Shaping Us.
She visited Leeds’ renowned Kirkgate Market, a bustling hub for locally-owned businesses that attracts over 120,000 visitors each week.
Kate engaged in discussions with market vendors and locals, reminiscing about their own childhood memories.
She also took the opportunity to savor the delicacies offered within the market’s historic structure.
During her visit, the future Queen consort received a warm welcome from the crowd of admirers and well-wishers.
Although one person could be heard wolf-whistling in a video, Kate did not acknowledge the gesture.
She later embarked on a walkabout, meeting fans and even engaging in a video conversation with a supporter of the royal family.
In conclusion, Meghan Markle’s aspirations for stardom have been brought to light by a royal novelist.
Her desire for fame and recognition became apparent after her marriage to Prince Harry.
