Much has already been said about Meghan Markle's short stint as an official working royal, however, Chloe Savage—the embroiderer who worked on the Duchess of Sussex's wedding veil—has decided to add her two cents to the conversation. While chatting with Insider, Savage claims Meghan wasn't adequately prepared for all the "rules and regulations" attached to life in the Royal Family.
“I think she misjudged the role,” the professional seamstress told the outlet. “The royal family has broken people before. Kate [Middleton] had plenty of time to adapt and adjust to it. They gave her time, whereas Meghan sort of dived in headfirst.”
Kate met Prince William in college and the pair dated for eight years before tying the knot in 2011. Kate also took some time after the wedding to ease into her new duties. Prince Harry and Meghan announced their engagement just one year after going public with their relationship. The newlyweds didn't take a honeymoon immediately after their nuptials, either, instead choosing to take on royal engagements just days after they said "I do."
Savage also told Insider that royal life “virtually broke [Princess] Diana; it broke Sarah Ferguson…It has broken people before. I know it’s looser now than it used to be, but even then, I don’t think [Meghan] was prepared for the things she could and couldn’t do, say, and wear.”
“She could have carved herself an outstanding role, but I think she found the whole thing very difficult," Savage continued. "She’s always been able to do as she’s pleased when she’s pleased, and unfortunately, with the royal family, granny rules — quite simply.”
Ultimately, Harry and Meghan decided to step away from royal life. They now reside in California with their Son Archie.
