Meghan and Prince Harry were engaged in November 2017 and the world was aflutter with chatter about the “Markle Sparkle” and how this one-time actress would be able to handle the media scrutiny with aplomb. We all know now how the story ended, with zero aplomb and a ton of tarnish.
Royal Family News – Why Did Meghan Markle Fail As A Royal?
Now a royal expert claims that the royal family is to blame for Meghan’s failure as a princess. Why? According to her, the monarchy, “failed to introduce the future Duchess of Sussex to royal journalists in the same way they did with Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, 39, when she became engaged to Prince William, 39.”
Royal expert Camilla Tominey wrote in this week’s Telegraph that the family didn’t treat poor Meghan the same as they did royal super star Kate Middleton. She calls the so-called failure, “deeply regrettable” and says it may be to blame for the “anti-press” notions held by Harry and Meghan.
To make her point, Tominey referenced a recent interview she did with Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. Royal fans know that Camilla was blasted by the press before, during and after she officially entered the royal family. But according to Tominey the Duchess of Cornwall remains friendly with the media.

She wrote, “I’ve just written a piece on the Duchess of Cornwall, out this weekend, in which a former aide commented on how much she enjoyed speaking to us hacks.”
Royal Family News – Why Is Camilla Friendly To The Press?
Tominey added, “This is despite the tabloids spending most of the 1990s and early-2000s vilifying her as ‘the most hated woman in Britain’ and ‘public enemy number one.’ She loves a gossip, she loves a good story and she knows journalists are inherently interesting people.”
She noted, “What Camilla was put through makes Prince Harry and Meghan’s treatment by the newspapers look like a walk in the park – and yet the Sussexes remain the most anti-press of all.”
Not only are the Markle’s anti-press in theory, they excel in suing the press every time they perceive an offence. For example, in June Hollywood Harry threatened the BBC with legal action after they reported on his daughter’s birth.

Royal Family News – When Will Harry And Meghan Sue The Media Again?
Tominey goes on to say, “I have always thought it deeply regrettable that the palace never properly introduced Meghan to the royal press pack – as they did when then Kate Middleton became engaged to Prince William.”
If that’s true, who’s to say that it wasn’t Meghan herself who demanded that it be that way?

I'll have to say, Camilla at least kept her mouth shut and has proved to be happy to be in the background.
She has hardly made a wrong step in Public since she Wed Charles
