Royal Expert Claims Anne Anticipated Meghan's Short Tenure in the British Monarchy
Princess Anne reportedly anticipated that Meghan Markle would have a "very short shelf-life" within the Royal Family, according to royal expert Neil Sean. From the early days of their encounters, Meghan failed to impress Princess Anne, who is known for her steadfast commitment to royal duties.
After Harry and Meghan’s departure from the UK in 2020, the couple frequently criticised the Royal Family in various American media interviews, with Harry stating they wanted to raise their children in a different environment. However, Sean reveals that Princess Anne had already foreseen potential difficulties for Meghan in adjusting to royal life. Anne, recognising the challenges, advised Meghan to treat her royal role as a job, not as an opportunity for celebrity.
Known for her no-nonsense approach, much like her late father, the Duke of Edinburgh, Anne offered Meghan advice about royal duties, encouraging her to immerse herself fully in charity work and to approach royal commitments with professionalism. However, sources suggest that Meghan was taken aback by this advice and did not warm to Anne’s guidance. Meghan’s apparent detachment from royal responsibilities, such as her patronage of the National Theatre, only reinforced Anne’s concerns.
In contrast, Princess Anne has consistently demonstrated her dedication to royal duties, most recently taking on the significant role of "Gold-Stick-in-Waiting" during King Charles’ coronation. Her unwavering service continues to be recognised by the King, who entrusted her with the prestigious role of his official bodyguard during the event, symbolising her years of loyal service to the Crown.
