Meghan Markle on the cover of Vanity Fair

Back in 2017, Meghan was the cover star of Vanity Fair.

The title of the edition read: “She’s just wild about Harry”. 

However, according to the editor at the time, Graydon Carter, Meghan thought the magazine would be more interested in her charity work and philanthropy, rather than her relationship with Prince Harry.

Carter, who ran the magazine for 25 years, claims that he initially didn’t have a clue who Meghan was when she was suggested as being a cover star.

When he asked, “Why should we do a story on her?” his colleague replied: “Because she’s going to marry Prince Harry”.

Meghan Markle ‘snaps’ during Vanity Fair interview

During the interview, Meghan reportedly ended up snapping at the reporter interviewing her when they kept asking her about Harry.

“Excuse me, is this going to all be about Prince Harry? Because I thought we were going to be talking about my charities and my philanthropy,” the duchess reportedly said at the time.

Carter wasn’t too impressed with the duchess’ remark.

Speaking to Page Six recently, he said: “This woman is slightly adrift on the facts and reality”.

Elsewhere in the interview, Carter – who was close to Princess Diana – said that the late Princess of Wales would be sad to see the wedge between Harry and the royal family.

Royal Insider has contacted Meghan Markle’s representatives for comment.

Meghan’s ‘messiah complex’

Carter isn’t the only person to speak out against Meghan recently.

Royal author Tom Quinn has claimed in a new book that palace staff accused the duchess of having a “messiah complex” during her time as a working royal.

He expanded more on this during a chat with Fox News Digital.

“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’,” he said.

“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. But the aides saw her ideas of doing good as completely out of proportion to what she actually could do,” he then continued.

“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.”
