Princess Anne knew "Meghan had a short shelf-life" just moments after their first meeting

One expert claims that Princess Anne always believed that “Meghan would have a very short shelf-life” in the Royal Family . Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the UK in 2020 to start a new life in America, settling in California, as the Duke of Sussex explained they felt it was necessary to raise their children in a different environment. Since their exit from the monarchy four years ago , Harry and Meghan have publicly criticised the royals on several occasions, making serious allegations against them.

Though varies forms of media - his memoir Spare , the couple's Netflix documentary titled Harry and Meghan, and their tell all interview with Oprah Winfrey. Royal expert Neil Sean claims that Princess Anne quickly realised Meghan might not fit in after advising her to see being a royal as a “job” rather than a celebrity role. As we previously reported , Anne is known for her dedication as a hardworking royal, she was reportedly offering Meghan advice on how to best approach her role as Harry’s wife, according to Neil.



Although he claimed that an insider told him that Meghan “left the meeting dumbfounded” stating: "According to a very good source Meghan Markle failed to warm to Princess Anne, and Princess Anne always knew that Meghan would have a very short shelf-life in the world of the British monarchy." On his YouTube channel, Neil mentioned: "This senior royal takes no nonsense, much like her father the late Duke of Edinburgh. Apparently, when Meghan Markle joined the Royal Family, she sought out Princess Anne.

According to a very good source, Princess Anne gave very sage advice to the new royal." "Princess Anne reiterated this mantra, she pointed out that it wasn't a working monarchy, it was a job, you turn up on time, you do your research and do the duty.” He continued: “It's all about the project at hand.

She also pointed out that whatever charities you are involved in, you needed to get involved and get immersed." However, Neil believes Meghan didn’t take much of this to heart, as during her time as patron of the National Theatre, she "did not get too involved." Although, Princess Anne has consistently remained dedicated to her royal duties, taking the lead in numerous key events.

During the Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla, she was appointed the King's "official bodyguard" as a gesture of gratitude for her years of loyal service. She took part in the procession as the “Gold-Stick-in-Waiting,” a role traditionally assigned to someone responsible for the sovereign’s personal safety.
