Julie Montagu married Luke Timothy Charles Montagu, Viscount Hinchingbrooke, the son of the 11th Earl of Sandwich. She was born in Illinois but has lived in the UK for 16 years ago. She said that Meghan Markle’s failure to take root as a royal, and her infamous estrangement from her in-laws is a result of not being able to let go of American ideals.
Viscountess Hinchingbrooke stated, “You can’t really be anything you want to be or do anything you want to do or say anything you want to say. Your duty is to the Queen and that’s very difficult for someone like Meghan.”
She added, “To switch off that American dream and accept, “now you have to do what we say,” is difficult.”
Royal Family News: Meghan Markle Knew She Was Marrying Royalty
Actually that sounds a bit like living in a dictatorship. But Meghan Markle knew what she was marrying into and agreed to do so. So afterward rebelling and trying to bring down the monarchy in huff is more than a bit disingenuous.
The successful American woman who managed to navigate the royal road added, “It’s difficult to have love and duty work simultaneously and together and that’s what Harry and Meghan wanted in negations with the Queen, this synergy, that they can make work, but the Queen said no.”

Lady Julie thinks that the pair threw mud at his family during their bizarre interview with Oprah Winfrey because they, “expected an apology,” from the royal family. Actually, preposterous Harry has said as much.
“I think she felt it was an opportunity for her to not only share it with the world, but she hoped the royal family was actually listening. It’s difficult to pinpoint why she did it but I think it’s clear they were angry.”
Royal expert Tom Quinn said in the documentary, “I think they were hoping for an apology … Meghan thought when she entered the royal family she could shake things up and they would love it, they would do things Meghan’s way … That that interview was her way to get revenge.”
