MEGHAN Markle struggled to understand her “duty was to the Queen” and she was desperate for the “American dream”, claims an expert.
In a documentary that airs on Saturday, US-born Viscountess Julie Montagu said Meghan struggled to “let go” of American ideals.
Speaking on Channel 5’s Meghan at 40: The Climb to Power: “You can’t really be anything you want to be or do anything you want to do or say anything you want to say.
“Your duty is to the Queen and that’s very difficult for someone like Meghan.
“You can’t really be anything you want to be or do anything you want to do or say anything you want to say.
“Your duty is to the Queen and that’s very difficult for someone like Meghan.
“It’s difficult to have love and duty work simultaneously and together and that’s what Harry and Meghan wanted in negotiations with the Queen, this synergy, that they can make work, but the Queen said no.”

The documentary airs ahead of Meghan’s 40th birthday on August 4, and explores the former Suits actress’ life in California to her joining the royal family.
Julie, who was born in the US but moved to the UK when she married Luke Timothy Charles Montagu, Viscount Hinchingbrooke, spoke about Meghan’s bombshell Oprah Winfrey chat.
The show said Meghan and Harry revealed their “truth bombs” as they “expected an apology” from the royal family.
Lady Julie continued: “I think she felt it was an opportunity for her to not only share it with the world, but she hoped the royal family was actually listening.
“It’s difficult to pinpoint why she did it but I think it’s clear they were angry”.
Royal author Tom Quinn agreed in the show, saying: “I think they were hoping for an apology, they were hoping they would phone and say, ‘We’re sorry we push you too far, we should have sat you down and spoke about your mental health issue’.
“I think she was horrified that the reaction was so negative from the family and they didn’t respond in the way she wanted.
“Meghan thought when she entered the royal family she could shake things up and they would love it, they would do things Meghan’s way.
“And when that didn’t happen, and when she came up against what she sees as the forces of reaction, it made us so upset.
“That interview was her way to get revenge”.
Royal commentator Emily Andrews said Meghan doesn’t want to be “Mrs Mountbatten-Windsor” and “staying at home raising her chickens.
“She wants to be a superstar, she wants to be a changemaker, this disruptor”.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle’s dad Thomas vows to take her and Prince Harry to COURT as he still hasn’t met grandchildren.
And Meghan gushed she ‘loves London men’ and ‘wanted to meet someone’ before Harry, ex-pal Lizzie Cundy claims.
