Meghan Markle ‘berated’ her wedding caterer so badly Queen Elizabeth reportedly stepped in

“We don’t speak to people like that.” Meghan Markle’s alleged behaviour toward a wedding caterer prompted the late Queen to scold her, a new book claims.

Meghan Markle “berated” one of her wedding caterers so badly that Queen Elizabeth II had to intervene, royals biographer Katie Nicholl claimed.

“On one occasion in the run-up to the wedding, Meghan went to Windsor Castle for a menu-tasting and ended up having a tense exchange with a member of staff,” Nicholl claimed in her book The New Royals, per the Daily Mail.

“Meghan was at the castle to taste some of the dishes, and told one of the caterers she could taste egg,” a source claimed.

“She got quite upset, saying that the dish was meant to be vegan and macrobiotic.”

According to Nicholl’s source, the incident got back to the Queen who allegedly decided to address the issue.

“Suddenly the Queen walked in and said: ‘Meghan, in this family we don’t speak to people like that,’” the insider claimed.

A rep for the Duchess of Sussex did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

This wouldn’t be the first time Markle, 43, has been accused of being “difficult” with palace staff.

In February, British journalist Tom Quinn claimed Meghan earned the nickname “Duchess of Difficult” before she and husband Prince Harry stepped down from their royal duties and moved to the US in 2020.

“She could be difficult because she was finding life difficult — trying to feel her way and work out the intricacies of a positively medieval, labyrinthine system,” an anonymous palace staff member reportedly told him.

The insider claimed the former Suits star was also called “Mystic Meg” because of her “new agey” views, which were deemed “so woke”.

The source further claimed, “Through absolutely no fault of her own, Meghan wasn’t always great with her staff — she just wasn’t used to it as Harry was.”

They continued, “One minute she would be really friendly, perhaps over-friendly, hugging staff and trying to make friends with them, and the next she would be irritated by the fact they wouldn’t respond instantly at all times of the day and night.”

Meghan was also accused of bullying a young member of the palace staff in 2018.
