An executive recently recounted a harrowing experience with Meghan during a photo shoot.
Sharing his ordeal, he revealed how Megan, prior to becoming Prince Harry's wife, interacted with his crew in a less-than-pleasant manner. Clarifying his intent, he expressed no desire to disparage Megan, emphasizing his initial admiration for her talent. Having encountered Megan a year before her relationship with Prince Harry began, he found himself in a professional capacity, orchestrating a photo shoot in which she was the focal point.
Confident in her potential for success, he meticulously planned every detail, from securing a renowned Vogue photographer to arranging luxurious accommodations. However, navigating communication with Megan's enigmatic PR proved challenging, as her demands seemed excessive for someone relatively unknown at the time. Despite this, they accommodated her requests. Yet, tension escalated when Megan's PR erupted in anger, threatening the team via email.
Weeks later, following her engagement to Prince Harry, the executive was inundated with requests from media outlets for photos from the shoot. This unexpected attention raised suspicions of Megan's clandestine dealings with the press, fueling rumors to maintain her relevance, akin to strategies employed by the Kardashian media empire.
The revelation of the executive's experience adds a new layer to the ongoing comparisons between Megan Markle and Wallis Simpson. Royal expert Richard K draws parallels, highlighting the potential ramifications for Megan and Prince Harry. While acknowledging the allure of the comparison, he warns of the historical consequences of Simpson's influence on the royal family.
Drawing parallels between the dynamics of Edward VIII and George VI, as well as Prince William and Prince Harry, he notes the parallels between Harry and Edward's decisions to step back from royal duties and marry non-traditional partners.
However, he underscores the critical differences in their respective positions, with Edward being king and Harry relinquishing his role as a senior working royal. This historical context underscores the complexity of the situation faced by Megan and Harry, hinting at the challenges that lie ahead for the couple.
