How Meghan Markle’s American charisma stood against royal norms – ‘Prince William saw Duchess of Sussex pulling brother’

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, with her overtly affectionate nature reportedly made Prince William uncomfortable. As a British royal family member, Meghan’s behaviour made Prince William uneasy from the very beginning who didn’t adore Meghan’s affectionate hugs.

“William is not a touchy-feely person. Meghan’s casual affection clashed with everything he was raised to expect,” Royal expert Tom Quinn remarked over Meghan Markle Meghan’s American habits failed to charm Prince William whose instant reaction was to hug while greeting. This was in stark contrast to the royal norms which left Prince William deeply uncomfortable.

This made it difficult for William to shun the rumours around Meghan’s friendliness, spreading among staff members like wildfires, which was mistaken for flirting.

Rifts deepened within the once close-knit royal family after Prince William began to feel thar Meghan was stealing his brother Harry from him. “He saw her as a force pulling his brother away,” Royal historian Robert Lacey said in ‘Battle of Brothers.’ According to Prince William, Meghan had no real understanding of royal duty, the Royal historian claimed.
