The motivations and ambitions Meghan Markle held during her time with the Royal Family are under renewed scrutiny, with revelations emerging from royal author and commentator Tom Quinn’s latest book, Yes Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants.
In a promotional interview with Fox News Digital, Quinn detailed accounts from former palace aides who worked closely with the Duchess of Sussex. According to him, several aides described Meghan as having what they referred to as a “messiah complex.”

“Several of the aides that I spoke to, as well as the more junior staff, said that Meghan had what they called a ‘messiah complex’,” Quinn stated. Expanding on the comment, he added, “I think what they meant was that, as a working royal, she could save all the people whose lives were difficult.
She could help with all sorts of problems, including poverty. She had this sense that came from a very good motivation that she could change the world for the better.” However, Quinn said that many palace insiders felt Meghan’s ambitions far exceeded what was practical within the confines of royal duties.

“The aides saw her ideas of doing good as completely out of proportion to what she actually could do,” he explained. “They felt she had these grand ideas, but there was no way a single person could do what she wanted to do. And I think there was also a suspicion that Meghan was trying to be more like William and Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, that she was trying to do the same thing.
And I think there was irritation that her sense of importance would reflect badly on the royal family.” One staff member reportedly told Quinn that Meghan appeared overly focused on becoming the most prominent royal. “She always seemed focused on how she could become the best-known and most-loved member of the royal family,” the aide said.
“She once said, ‘What Diana started I want to finish,’ and we took that to mean she wanted to become a sort of globetrotting champion of the poor and the marginalized.” The claims add to ongoing debates about Meghan’s time within the monarchy and her vision for her role, further fueling public interest in the behind-the-scenes dynamics of royal life.
