A ROYAL biographer claims he was told that Meghan Markle “upset” the Royal Family and courtiers by being “cleverer than them.”
Author Sean Smith, who penned Meghan Misunderstood, made the sensational claim on Twitter and said the Duchess of Sussex was “disliked” by the royals.
Sean tweeted: “A columnist being rude about #PrinceHarry’s school exams reminded me that when researching #MeghanMisunderstood I was told a reason #Meghan was so disliked by the Royal Family and their courtiers was that whenever she walked into a room, she was the most intelligent person in it.”
Oprah Winfrey previously claimed that Meghan was “advised to be half herself” shortly after joining the Royal Family.
The talk show queen revealed that the Duchess of Sussex had confided in her in 2018 about the alleged comment on keeping a lower profile as she reacted to the tell-all chat during an interview with CBS.
Oprah said: “She had just joined the Royal Family and she shared a conversation with me then that made me feel somewhat disheartened.
