A new book about Meghan Markle, the wife of Prince Harry, reveals the intolerable behavior of the actress even before she married Harry - and after the wedding.

Among the many embarrassing stories about the disgraceful treatment of her personal secretary and the rest of the staff that accompanied her, the book also includes an anecdote with diplomatic implications: Meghan received a valuable piece of jewelry in honor of her upcoming marriage from the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, at a time when the cruel ruler was considered an outcast in the international arena following the murder of a Saudi journalist. American at the consulate in Istanbul.

However, the diplomatic context did not prevent her from proudly wearing the jewel in public - at least twice.



In the fall of 2018, Harry and Meghan visited Fiji for a 48-hour visit.

On the first night, the two attended a state dinner hosted by the President of Fiji.

For the dinner, Meghan wore a light blue evening dress and wore a pair of chandelier diamond earrings, which according to Kensington Palace were loaned to her - without specifying from whom.

Many reporters immediately wondered what was the reason for the great mystery surrounding the earrings.



The earrings, which included yellow and white diamonds that palace sources say were designed by renowned Belgian jewelry designer Chopard, were called "vulgar" in a new book by royal historian Robert Lacey.

In the book "Battle of Brothers: William, Harry and the Inside Story of a Family in Tumult," London-based antique jeweler Sandra Cronan is quoted as saying, "The earrings were too flashy for the royal family. Their purpose was to draw attention and indirectly state, 'Look how much I have money.'



But the problem with the earrings was not their price, but the fact that Meghan wore them just three weeks after the murder of Saudi-American journalist and critic of the regime, Jamal Khashoggi, by Saudi agents at the consulate in Istanbul. According to the CIA, Prince It was the Saudi crown that approved the murder.

Meghan must have known that Salman gave her the earrings as a gift, Lacey wrote in the book, but it is possible that she did not know during the visit to Fiji about the journalist's affair.

However, when Meghan decided to wear the earrings for the second time on the occasion of the 70th birthday of the King, then Prince Charles, on November 14, 2018 in London, all the details of the murder had already been published, including the assessments of the responsibility of Bin Salman.



Megan boasted that she follows the news and reads the weekly "Economist" during a speech at a conference in honor of International Women's Day.

Between November 1 and November 14, 2018, even before Charles' birthday, the newspaper published two long articles about the affair.



According to Meghan's lawyers, all the relevant staff members knew that the earrings were a gift from the heir to the throne, but the duchess herself was not aware of the rumors about his involvement in the murder.

However, according to a report in the "Telegraph", her assistants advised her not to wear them but she did not obey them.

After wearing the earrings for the second time, one of the assistants decided to consult with Prince Harry about the issue.

He said Harry was "shocked" that people knew where the earrings came from.
