Meghan Markle’s difficulties as a working royal may have reflected a “culture clash” with palace aides and differing expectations, according to a veteran royal correspondent. The article presents this as an explanation for warning signs that reportedly appeared before the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from senior royal duties.

The correspondent, Simon Vigar, is the author of “The Four Wives of Windsor” and covered Meghan’s period as a working royal. He argues that the challenges involved mismatched expectations between Meghan and the royal household, though the supplied article text does not provide specific examples, dates or new evidence.
