Queen Admonished Meghan Markle Over Staff Conduct

Multiple sources allege that Meghan Markle had a tense confrontation with a Windsor Castle caterer before her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry, after which Queen Elizabeth II reportedly intervened and told Meghan, 'In this family we don't speak to people like that.' This incident, detailed by biographer Katie Nicholl, is part of a broader pattern of alleged rudeness toward staff, with additional complaints arising at Frogmore Cottage. Royal historian Hugo Vickers states that these grievances led to further personal involvement by the Queen. Some sources suggest Meghan's behavior may have been influenced by stress and the challenges of adjusting to royal life, while others maintain it contributed to ongoing tensions with palace employees. The events have fueled continued public and media scrutiny of Meghan's relationship with royal staff and the wider royal household.
