Meghan Markle ‘upset’ the Royal family because she was ‘cleverer than them’, claims expert
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.

“That was the quote, if she could be 50 per cent less.
"I remember hearing that in 2018 and I said to her, 'I don't know how you're going to survive, being half of yourself'."
Meghan and Prince Harry’s bombshell interview with Oprah was broadcast in March this year.
During the chat, Meghan broke down in tears as she revealed she told Prince Harry she "didn’t want to be alive anymore".
She added she had suicidal thoughts in the shocking tell-all interview with Oprah.
The Duchess said she begged for help from the Firm after struggling with her mental health - saying it was her husband who "saved" her.
Biographer Sean didn’t specify which column he was referring to which mentioned Prince Harry’s school exams.
The Duke of Sussex attended the prestigious Eton College, and got a B in Art and a D in Geography.
He decided against university and instead joined the army.
