Safe to say this dream backfired!
Meghan Markle had aspirations of being as widespread as Beyoncé after marrying Prince Harry, a brand new e-book on the royals is now claiming! According to writer Valentine Low in his new e-book Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown by way of the Times of London on Sunday, an insider revealed the Duchess’ thought-process whereas marrying Harry, saying:
“I think Meghan thought she was going to be the Beyoncé of the UK.”
Hah! What an surprising comparability — and definitely not one she ever obtained! What was the large drawback standing in her method? Being a working royal didn’t precisely mesh properly with the Beyoncé way of life the Suits alum wished to reside… apparently.

While being a member of the royal household actually boosted the 41-year-old’s reputation and fame world wide, it wasn’t all it was cracked as much as be, the insider continued:
“Being part of the royal family would give her that kudos. Whereas what she discovered was that there were so many rules that were so ridiculous that she couldn’t even do the things that she could do as a private individual, which is tough.”
The pair tied the knot in May 2018 — however two years later, they have been already seeking to reduce their ties with the royal household by stepping again from their duties as senior royals. After making their intentions clear in an announcement posted on January 8, 2020, they met with the Duke of Sussex’s household (together with the late Queen Elizabeth II) to debate the unprecedented determination — a gathering generally known as the “Sandringham Summit.”
According to the palace confidant, the royals tried to supply help — or something actually — to get the rogue couple to remain, the supply famous:
“It just required the decision-makers to sit around a table and say, ‘OK, what are we going to do about this? What do you need to feel better? And what can we give?’”
Mind you, their determination to go away reportedly got here after a collection of racist and biased habits left Meghan desperately struggling along with her psychological well being. It was going to take much more than an apology to get them to remain!
During the assembly, the group reportedly mentioned “five scenarios” during which Harry and Meghan may reside their lives on their very own phrases — and the way doing so would replicate on the royal household. Ultimately, Queen Elizabeth wasn’t having any of it, the writer wrote:
“[The Queen] took the view that unless the couple were prepared to abide by the restrictions that applied to working members of the royal family, they could not be allowed to carry out official duties.”
Whoa! So she pulled the plug?! Very inneresting!

Days after this summit, the late monarch introduced on January 13, 2020, the couple would transfer ahead with their plan to “create a new life,” regardless of the actual fact she “would have preferred” they “remain full-time working members of the royal family.” Jeez. She actually flipped that round on them with out acknowledging her determination to drive them to go!
More affirmation the 96-year-old wasn’t a fan of them attempting to have their cake and eat it, too?? Buckingham Palace shared an identical assertion on the time, noting:
“Following conversations with [Harry], the Queen has written confirming that in stepping away from the work of the royal family, it is not possible to continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service.”
The departure, infamously generally known as Megxit, was official in February 2021, and it began a large and seemingly endless feud between the members of the family. While they appear removed from mending fences, Meghan and Harry have been noticed with the remainder of the royals a number of occasions this month as they mourned the Queen’s passing. Time will inform if they’ll actually reconcile — however one factor is for sure: marrying a prince didn’t assist Meg get to Beyoncé standing! Do you actually suppose she would have truly imagined being as iconic? Thoughts?!
