Meghan Markle’s Friendship with Junior Staff Member Seen as ‘Inappropriate’ by Royal Family
Reports have emerged suggesting that Meghan Markle’s close relationship with a junior staff member was considered ‘inappropriate’ by members of the Royal Family.
The Duchess of Sussex, known for her warm and personable nature,
reportedly formed a close bond with the staffer during her time as a working royal.
According to royal insiders, this level of personal interaction between a senior royal and a subordinate was viewed as unconventional and contrary to traditional protocols. The Royal Family maintains a strict hierarchical structure, and friendships between high-ranking members and junior employees are often discouraged to preserve professionalism and decorum.
Sources claim that Meghan’s approach to staff relationships was seen as too informal by some within the palace. Unlike other senior royals who adhere to longstanding customs regarding staff interactions, Meghan was reportedly more open, fostering a sense of camaraderie with her team.
“There were concerns that such a close relationship blurred the lines of professional conduct,” a palace insider stated. “While Meghan’s intentions were likely well-meaning, it did not align with the established royal way of doing things.”
However, supporters of the Duchess argue that Meghan’s behavior simply reflected her modern and inclusive approach to leadership. They contend that breaking down barriers within palace staff relationships could foster a healthier and more productive working environment.
Since stepping down as a senior royal in 2020, Meghan and Prince Harry have openly discussed their struggles within the institution, frequently challenging royal traditions. This latest revelation further highlights the cultural divide between the Sussexes and the monarchy.
Neither Meghan Markle nor the Royal Family has publicly commented on these reports, but the discussion surrounding her time in the royal household continues to be a point of contention. As Meghan and Harry carve out their independent path, their differing views on royal customs remain a significant part of their ongoing narrative.
