If Americans fell in love with Meghan for the fact that as a celebrity she turned into a duchess within a short period of time, staff members at Buckingham Palace weren?t that happy.
The Telegraph journalist Camilla Tominey told The New Yorker that at first, they loved Meghan very much because she looked amazing and appreciated her story in terms of advocacy for women?s rights issues. But Tominey, who has been covering the royal family for more than a decade, revealed that after Meghan showed up, the positive feelings changed quickly.
Tominey said Buckingham Palace staff changed their minds because of the pace of life Meghan was accustomed to as a celebrity. "She came from the world of being famous, a faster and much sought after world. The royal world is different - it's slow and extremely hierarchical. "
Moreover, Meghan seems to have misunderstood the "unwritten tradition" of the kingdom. "There's a staff hierarchy that has been working at Buckingham Palace for years to serve the queen and the country," Tominey said. ?For this reason, when Harry and Meghan made requests, there were some quiet conversations of the members, especially with the duchess; conversations like 'Who remembers you are'.
