Meghan Markle complained about ‘not getting paid’ for 2018 royal tour, new book claims

Meghan Markle didn’t hide her apparent disdain for royal duties before “Megxit,” once even complaining out loud that she should have gotten paid for her 2018 tour of Australia, during which she treated staffers “horribly,” a new book claims.

The Duchess of Sussex reveled in her reception Down Under as the newly minted “inspirational” bride of Prince Harry, but in private Markle sang a different tune, The Sun reported, citing the book “In Courtiers: the Hidden Power Behind the Crown” by Valentine Low.

“Although she enjoyed the attention, Meghan failed to understand the point of all those walkabouts, shaking hands with countless strangers,” Low reportedly wrote.

“According to several members of staff, she was heard to say on at least one occasion, ‘I can’t believe I’m not getting paid for this.'”

The divorced biracial American actress also bullied courtiers before she was even a member of the royal family, and continued to treat them harshly until she and Harry announced they were splitting from the palace in 2020, the book said.

By virtue of becoming a working royal she was part of vast riches most could only dream of - but wanted to be "paid" for the public service work required and expected of her as a member of the Family / the Firm.

I could say this is unbelievable, but appears to be entirely consistent with everything else that has been revealed about her behavior.

Apparently, a lot about the Troublesome Two was left unsaid or not fully said, because nobody wanted to upset the Queen.
Well, now that that is no longer a concern, loose the hounds!
And it’s about time.

She wants for nothing, is fixed for life. She is wealthier way beyond most peoples dreams, and yet she still wants to be paid? A real lowlife. The ugly American.

Or she has a contract with Netflix. More drama = higher ratings.

Reminded me of an old joke....

The couple walked around the carnival and again he asked where to next. "I want to get weighed," she responded. By this time, Joe figured she was really weird and took her home early, dropping her off with a handshake. Her roommate, Laura, asked her about the blind date, "How'd it go?" Kim responded, "Oh, Waura, it was wousy."

Me-again wears her attitude on her face. She has a nasty attitude.

Shame Harry fears abandonment after losing his mother while young. This witch is using his fear to control him. Typical narcissist in that she uses his emotions to manipulate him.

She’s far worse than Wallace. Wallace and Edward went away quietly after their dust up. Meghan is like a bad case of the clap that you can’t get rid of.

What if we just taxed the world’s population so we can all show her just how grateful we are that she’s able to live a life of luxury (thanks to Harry)?

One odd thing that stands out here...there just isn’t some great wave of ‘cash’ flowing toward the brand suggested. Even if you combined the total wealth income each year of Harry/Meghan...I doubt that it exceeds 25-million. Toss in California taxation, security around-the-clock, exclusive travel arrangements, and the upper scale lifestyle...there’s just not that much left at the end.

So who are the advisers and how are they compensated? The whole thing starts to resemble a cult-operation after a while.

Markle is outclassed by Groucho Marx who’d make a more suitable royal.

Megan was/is a B list actress who is hated by her family and whose only real claim to fame is that she married Harry. Harry’s claim to fame is that he is a royal spare. The line to the throne has 4 people in front of Harry and 50 behind him. He is not needed. Before Megan he was having orgies in Vegas.

The royal family should pay no attention to either of them. I sometimes think they take her seriously because they are afraid of offending America. We don’t care about her. Most of us had no idea who she was before she snagged a prince. Someone from America needs to tell them, its OK. They can cut her loose.
