When Meghan Markle joined the royal family, some members made it clear they were not in a rush to become her friend, while others wholeheartedly embraced and welcomed her.
There is a lot of coverage of those who turned their backs to the former actress in the bombshell biography book Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of A Modern Family.
However, a close friend of Prince Harry‘s wife has decided to reveal all the efforts made by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, to be a friend, a guide, and part of her much needed support system when she arrived in London.
Camilla Parker Bowles took extraordinary measures to ensure that Meghan did not go through the same horrors that she endured from the media when she entered the royal family.
For a long time, Camilla was disliked and was blamed for Prince Charles‘s failed marriage to Princess Diana.
Camilla took Meghan under her wings and had several privates lunches with her, where she shared tips and advice on how to deal with the pressure and told her to ignore the negativity.
Meghan ignored the advice and drama followed, which led to her leaving England with her family.
The pal made this revelation to the Mail on Sunday: “She doesn’t want to see anyone struggling, and she is fond of Meghan. Much like Meghan, Camilla had experienced a lot of negative press and hostility from courtiers due to her relationship with Charles when he was still married to Diana. She was very sensitive to Meghan and provided her with support, advising her to ride out the storm and that it would all pass—but ultimately Meghan didn’t listen.”
The royal insider spoke about Camilla’s empathy and went on to explain: “The Duchess of Cornwall does understand what it’s like to come from a normal life and then land in the completely extraordinary world that the Royal family exists in. As a consequence, she tries very hard to make people welcome and help them find their feet and has done so for many years.”
The person claimed that Camilla had also reached out to Kate Middleton when she married Prince William.
The friend declared: “Her consciously offering to mentor and guide is something that she really does try and do. That applies to many people, not just the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex.”
It is believed that Harry and Meghan exited London because he learned a different lesson from what the media did to his mother.
