Meghan Markle issued a seven-word demand to Prince William to relinquish the throne to Harry

Meghan Markle issued a blunt 7-word reply to concerns raised by Prince William

Meghan Markle joined the Royal Family when she started dating Prince Harry, but the couple left four years ago and have since developed a very tense relationship

Meghan Markle didn’t hold back when she was confronted with “concerns” during her time in the Royal Family, according to a royal author.

The Duchess of Sussex joined The Firm when she started dating Prince Harry, but tensions quickly started to grow.

Meghan was accused of shouting at staff during her time in the Royal Family, with author Robert Lacey accusing her of “governing by fear” in his bombshell book Battle of the Brothers.

The author also claimed Prince William was worried Meghan was “stealing his beloved brother away” and was “very concerned” after learning how she allegedly treated her staff. In response, Meghan is said to have given a blunt seven-word reply.

“It’s not my job to coddle people,” Meghan said, according to Robert’s book. While Meghan was hit with bullying allegations during her time in the Royal Family, her close friends and family insisted they were false and didn’t align with the “kind” person they know.

A friend also told Bazaar Meghan was upset by the accusations. They said: “I hate to say it, but find me a woman of colour in a senior position who has not been accused of being too angry, too scary… in the work place.”

A spokesperson for Meghan also vehemently denied the allegations. They said at the time: “Let’s just call this what it is – a calculated smear campaign based on misleading and harmful misinformation. We are disappointed to see this defamatory portrayal of the Duchess of Sussex.”

The statement continued: “It’s no coincidence that distorted several-year-old accusations aimed at undermining the duchess are being briefed to the British media shortly before she and the duke are due to speak openly and honestly about their experience of recent years.”

Meghan and Harry stepped down from the Royal Family back in 2020 before moving to Montecito, California. They’ve since developed an incredibly tense relationship with The Firm and have made a number of bombshell accusations about various members of the Royal Family.

In their bombshell Netflix docuseries, Harry detailed the breakdown of his relationship with his brother Prince William and claimed he left him terrified after he screamed and shouted at him during the Sandringham summit. Harry also alleged members of Kensington Palace had then “lied to protect my brother”. He then further hit out at his family in his memoir, Spare.
