Meghan Markle has been given a new nickname by ‘disgruntled’ palace staff

Ouch…

It has been reported that palace staff have given Meghan Markle a rather mean nickname – and one that she is, understandably, not too fond off.

Society magazine Tatler wrote in an article called One Year of Meghanomania that her staff in the royal households have began to call her ‘Me-Gain’.

The magazine recalls that abuse that Sarah Ferguson was given when she entered the royal family, however “Meghan has seen nothing like that – even though staff at Kensington Palace are now calling her ‘Me-Gain’.”

It was only announced a few weeks ago that Meghan’s personal assistant, Amy Pickerell, left her role.

Amy is the third of Meghan’s royal aides to leave the palace in the space of a few months.

Although Amy was initially planning to stay until the end of the year, the fact that Meghan is due to take maternity leave soon changes things.

A source from Kensington Palace explained why Amy’s departure is imminent, in conversation with Harper’s Bazaar.

“Amy is leaving after the arrival of the baby. The Duchess will be very sad to see her go, but is excited for her as Amy has exciting plans ahead including spending some time abroad.

“Amy had originally planned on staying until at least the end of the year, but with the baby coming it makes sense to help recruit someone now who can pick up when The Duchess returns to her official work.

“They will definitely stay in touch and Amy will be on hand for any advice and help that is needed in the future”.

That’s that so.
