According to the excerpt from the book published in the magazine, Meghan then had a call with a high-ranking assistant from Kensington Palace.
Meghan “said little during the call, choosing simply to listen to the advice. But after hanging up, she felt frustrated and emotional,” said the posted excerpt. “While she knew the assistant had good intentions, the surreal experience of having someone from her boyfriend’s office to tell him what type of jewelry to wear or not to smile at a photographer was too much.”
According to the excerpt from the shared book, Meghan then called a friend saying, “I can’t win. They realize that I’m to blame for these photos, that it looks like I’m encouraging them, that I even acknowledge that the cameras may not be sending the correct message. I don’t know what to say. It was only yesterday that people online said that I look miserable in the photos, because I was trying to ignore the [photographer]”
The authors reported that Meghan “felt damned if she did, and cursed if she didn’t.”
