Princess Diana’s former private secretary has made some new revelations about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, stating that the Duke and Duchess wanted the celebrity’s ‘ego rush’ and the accompanying ‘superficial flattery’.
Patrick Jephson reportedly hinted that Harry and Meghan no longer wanted to be tied down to the ‘monotonous worries’ of British subjects.
Jephson served as a private secretary to the former Princess of Wales from 1988 to 1996, a turbulent period in which she divorced Prince Charles and was abandoned by the monarchy.
She also claimed that the notorious 1995 Panorama interview was the ‘death sentence’ for Diana’s career, after which the Queen urged her and Prince Charles to divorce.
Jephson believes the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are going a similar path, according to one news outlet.
“The temptation for some members of today’s royal family is to live like Diana after Panorama: no longer anchored in the monotonous concerns of British subjects, preferring the ego rush of the world stage and the superficial flattery of the international rich and famous “reportedly. wrote in Daily Mail.
Mr. Jephson continued: “As perhaps his youngest son Harry has discovered, you can escape the Palace, but finding relevance and respect as just another celebrity is much, much more difficult.”
Last month, the royal couple hired a new US-based PR team after realizing they are “not the golden couple anymore.”
Harry and Meghan took on Christine Schemer as head of communications, who held the same role at Pinterest.
The Duke and Duchess also appointed Toya Holness, formerly of the marketing firm Delux and a fan of the ITV show The Palace, as press secretary.
The new appointments came days after Meghan and Harry came under fire for posting images of a private memorial Sunday visit to a California cemetery.
The couple visited the Los Angeles National Cemetery to commemorate the occasion on November 9.
Critics subsequently questioned why they didn’t ‘do it in private’ rather than perform ‘stunts’.
The Sun, citing a source, stated: ‘Meghan is well aware that she and Harry are no longer the golden couple.’
“ Prince William and Kate cannot be wrong now when it comes to the UK, while Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are seen as a selfish couple who left the Royal Family to pursue their own interests, ” he added.
