In an updated version of the book Battle of Brothers, one royal correspondent tells author Robert Lacey how William and Kate are “proud to treat their staff like family”.
The source said the couple recognise their workers “don’t get paid loads of money”, so they are “just really nice to them”.
“So this was a very deep clash of philosophies,” the correspondent added.
“With Meghan being used to a Hollywood service culture – getting exactly what she wanted whenever she wanted in that famous way that Harry said.”
It’s famously claimed that Harry told staff before his wedding to Meghan: “What Meghan wants, Meghan gets.”
As the story goes, the bride-to-be initially wanted a tiara that featured emeralds, according to royal sources.
But the future Duke and Duchess of Sussex were unhappy when told her first choice was impossible, as no one knew exactly where it came from.
An insider said close to the time: “There was a very heated exchange that prompted the Queen to speak to Harry.
“She said, ‘Meghan cannot have whatever she wants. She gets what tiara she’s given by me’.”
One Palace aide later told the Telegraph: “Everyone wanted her to be happy because they knew that would make him happy.
“Do whatever it takes to make it work for Meghan was the mantra. We all cared deeply about Harry.
“Contrary to this idea that they weren’t supported, we were going to great lengths to accommodate their needs.”
