Royal Drama Unveiled: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Tiara Tussle

A recent revelation from a new book has shed light on a heated dispute between Prince Harry and Queen Elizabeth II regarding Meghan Markle's tiara selection for their wedding.

The book, titled Courtiers: The Hidden Power, details how the Queen had promised to lend Meghan a tiara, similar to what was done for Prince William and Kate Middleton's nuptials.

Royal journalist Valentine Lowe uncovered that Meghan had her eyes set on the Queen's Mary Diamond tiara, but was informed by Angela Kelly, the Queen's dresser, that it was unavailable.

Allegedly, Prince Harry was less than pleased with this news and confronted Kelly, accusing her of being obstructive.

Despite Meghan's desires, Kelly explained that the tiaras were under strict security measures, and she had to adhere to the protocols.

The book suggests that Prince Harry even pressured Kelly to bend the rules, using strong language in the process.

However, the Queen reportedly intervened firmly, putting Prince Harry in his place and emphasizing that Meghan couldn't simply have everything she wanted.

Furthermore, the book delves into Meghan Markle's assertive nature in her relationship with Prince Harry.

It is claimed that Meghan had issued an ultimatum to Harry before their relationship went public, threatening to end things if he didn't declare their status.

This revelation paints a picture of Meghan as a strong-willed individual who knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid to make her demands known.

As their relationship progressed, Meghan allegedly continued to assert her desires, including expressing her disappointment at not being compensated for her royal engagements during their tour of Australia.

Despite being hailed as an inspirational figure, Meghan voiced her frustration at not being remunerated for her appearances, hinting at a disconnect between her public image and private feelings.

The book also touches upon Meghan's interactions with royal staff, portraying instances where she was perceived as demanding and intimidating.

Reports suggest that Meghan clashed with palace workers over various issues, including her preference for receiving free clothing from businesses.

The tension culminated in Melissa Tabati, a key aide, resigning six months after the royal wedding due to conflicts surrounding Meghan's acceptance of complimentary gifts.

Moreover, the book alleges that even Samantha Cohen, Meghan's personal secretary, felt bullied by both junior and senior aides within the royal household.

The narrative paints a picture of internal strife and power struggles within the palace walls, hinting at a turbulent atmosphere behind the facade of royal glamour.

Despite denials from Meghan's legal team regarding any mistreatment of staff, the revelations from the book have sparked discussions about the dynamics within the royal family.

The intricate web of relationships and power dynamics exposed in Courtiers: The Hidden Power offers a glimpse into the complexities of royal life and the challenges faced by those navigating its corridors of power.
