Meghan's PALACE CONSPIRACY

WHY SHE’S ‘CONVINCED’ THE ROYAL FAMILY WERE WORKING AGAINST HER
-
As the now-infamous saying goes, “What Meghan wants, Meghan gets.” So were the palace staff who first said it onto something? Or was Meghan Markle right to be suspicious of her husband Prince Harry’s family? In the two years since they married, the American actress and her British prince renovated and moved into their plush Windsor home, Frogmore Cottage, escaped to Vancouver, Canada, and then relocated to a $27 million mega-mansion in Los Angeles. But, according to royal insiders, continuing Harry’s philanthropy crusade and dividing their time between Africa and the UK, as they had agreed, was never in Meghan’s long-term plans.
“I think she felt like an outsider from the start. This wasn’t the life she was used to and she wanted out,” a friend of Meghan’s told The Times. What’s more, she believed The Firm was out to get her. “She was convinced there was a conspiracy against her and so she basically put herself in isolation when they moved to Frogmore.”
Despite travelling the world with Harry, 35, to spruik royal charities, bring attention to philanthropic causes and meet their people, the insider added that Meghan, 38, felt “unfulfilled” and by the time she’d given birth to their son, Archie Harrison, in May 2019, she was burnt out.
When Queen Elizabeth vetoed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s suggestion that they work as part-time royals, the insider said Meghan put her “big plan” into action.
