- Meghan’s warmth unsettles the royals
- Cultural differences spark tensions
- Flirtation rumors strain relationships
The relationship between Duchess Meghan and the British royal family has been a topic of heated debate for years. A new book by royal expert Tom Quinn, 'Yes Ma'am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants,' sheds light on the tensions. Meghan's warm nature, particularly her love for hugs and open gestures, reportedly clashed with the royals’ reserved etiquette. "I have always been a hugger," Meghan explained in her Netflix documentary—something normal in California but met with astonishment in Britain.
Meghan’s warmth unsettles the royals
Quinn describes how Meghan’s friendly demeanor stood in stark contrast to the royal family's formality. Prince William and King Charles III were said to be uncomfortable when she greeted them with open arms. Her hugs and cheek kisses, considered inappropriate by some, left Meghan feeling rejected and hurt.

Cultural differences spark tensions
The stark contrast in social customs became a major source of conflict. While Meghan was raised in an environment that embraced emotional openness and physical affection, the royal family upholds a more restrained etiquette. These differences led to misunderstandings and friction within the palace.
Flirtation rumors add strain
Meghan’s affectionate nature even sparked rumors within the palace that she was flirting with Prince William. Though Quinn clarifies this was “obviously” untrue, the speculation further strained relationships—particularly between Prince William and Prince Harry—deepening the divide within the family.
