Breaking News: Meghan Markle ‘hurt’ after common habit made Kate, William and Charles ‘flinch’ – book……See More

According to a new royal book, Meghan Markle’s common habit made certain royals “flinch”.

Meghan Markle was allegedly left “hurt” after Princess Kate, Prince William and King Charles “flinched” at her hugs, a new royal book has claimed

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have previously opened up about the Royal Family’s lack of affection; however, a royal author has now delved deeper into the moments that created a “tense atmosphere” for the couple

Author Tom Quinn alleged in his new book, Yes Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants, parts of which have been serialised in The Times, that Meghan’s common “California” habit would not go down so well even with equerries in the Royal Household.

He wrote: “Tension developed between William and Harry as a result of Meghan’s warm, friendly, hug-everyone approach. Kate, William and Charles tended to flinch when she moved in for a hug.

“Meghan was understandably hurt, as everyone apparently hugs everyone in California.

Meghan even tried to hug a singularly stiff Old Etonian equerry.

“He too flinched as if she’d tried to poke him in the eye, as another member of staff put it.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex married in 2018 but left the Firm two years later, due to their ongoing feud with the royals and moved to the US.

In 2022, the Sussex couple opened up about Meghan’s hugging in an episode of their Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan.

The duchess said: “Even when Will and Kate came over, and I was meeting her for the first time, I remember I was in ripped jeans, I was barefoot.

Like I was a hugger, I have always been a hugger. I didn’t realise that is really jarring for a lot of Brits
