“When I joined this family, I knew there was a protocol for how things should be done,” she says in the
Harry and Meghan
documentary , the first three episodes of which were released on Thursday, December 8.
Do you remember the movie
Princess Despite Her
(2001) with Anne Hathaway?
An excerpt from the film follows, in which we see the heroine, a girl-next-door propelled princess of a small country, receiving etiquette lessons.
Meghan Markle adds: "I haven't attended any classes, or come across anyone who says 'Sit like this, cross your legs like that, use a fork, don't do that, curtsy, wear this kind of thing. hat" – that does not happen.
I have never seen photos or videos of a walkabout."
Remarks denied by royal employees in the columns of the

A file in 30 points
The latter have indeed claimed that it was a real "tissue of lies".
"There was preparation for everything, the walkabouts - even if she was engaged to someone who had done hundreds - the clothes, everything, explained the anonymous witness.
She had strong support.”
The Duchess of Sussex is said to have also received a 30-point dossier, containing information and contacts to help her adjust to royal life.
A document given to him by his private secretary Ed Lane Fox, six months before the union of the Sussexes, and in which there were indications on the outfits to be worn, the royal family and the Constitution, the ladies of companions, the people to the head of institutions, art in the United Kingdom, charities or the way of dealing with public life.
"It was enormous, the mass of work that Elf (
the nickname of Ed Lane Fox, editor's note
) shot down so that she could contact everyone, and he gave her books on the subject", continued the anonymous source.
“It was in the hands of Meghan”
In the documentary, Meghan Markle also implies that Kensington Palace advised her not to invite her niece Ashleigh Hale, the daughter of her half-sister Samantha, to her wedding.
An episode in which Ashleigh says she is “hurt” by this decision.
Another witness, however, denied these remarks.
According to him, Meghan Markle would have made the decision herself not to invite her niece.
"It was completely in Meghan's hands which friends and family members she would invite to her wedding," the eyewitness explained to the
Daily Mail
.
There was no discussion, it was his decision.
What Palace officials confirmed in the columns of the
Sunday Times
: “It just didn't happen.
We never gave any advice, direction or guidance as to which family members or friends should or should not come to her wedding."
According to the unnamed source, Prince Harry's wife feared her niece's presence would put her in the center of attention.
"Meghan didn't want the media to focus on Ashleigh," the witness said.
No one would have told her not to invite her family to the wedding.
It's a web of lies.
We wanted to have more of her family members so it would seem less weird to her."
The engagement interview
The claim that the BBC engagement interview was an 'orchestrated reality show' is also believed to be false.
"Every word of this interview was theirs," said an anonymous source.
She controlled every micro detail of how this engagement was announced.”
Anonymous sources, however, confirmed that the Duchess learned the national anthem by searching for it on the internet, as she claimed in the documentary.
And this, because “you simply cannot transfer the national anthem into someone's brain”.
