Reports draw on comments from a former senior aide to Queen Elizabeth II, who said Meghan Markle left her “dumbfounded” during the time Meghan was connected to the royal household. According to the outlets, the aide described an unspecified incident that stood out to her, framing the moment as a surprise reaction. Both sources present the same core claim: the former secretary’s close working relationship with the Queen spanning about 13 years, and her later recollection of a particular act by Duchess of Sussex that she found unexpected.
The articles do not include additional corroborating detail about the specific behavior referenced in the account, and they do not provide further context such as dates, locations, or whether the incident involved official duties. They also do not offer a direct response from Meghan Markle or her representatives. Overall, the coverage focuses on the former aide’s retrospective statement and her characterization of Meghan Markle’s actions as unexpected.
