Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, was convinced that she could take the place of the Queen of the United Kingdom, despite her husband Prince Harry being only fifth in line to the throne. This opinion was expressed by journalist Tom Bauer during the podcast “Kinsley Schofield Unfiltered,” where he discussed his book “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors.”

“She really thought that she, not Kate, should be the next queen after [the death of] King Charles III,” said the author of the book “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors” during his appearance on the podcast “Kinsley Schofield Unfiltered.”
Meghan Markle’s ambitions within the royal family
According to Bauer, Meghan was confident that she deserved the royal title more than Kate Middleton, as she considered herself more beautiful, smarter, and harder-working. The journalist added that the Duchess could not accept that she and Harry were placed low on the list of heirs to the throne.
Bauer also revealed that one of the royal courtiers informed Queen Elizabeth II about Meghan’s thoughts. He stated that the courtier told the monarch that Meghan believes that once she becomes part of the royal family, her role is equated to the divine. The journalist emphasized that this idea seems quite amusing, but Meghan likely truly believed in it.
Reaction from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex
Following the release of new details in Tom Bauer’s book, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry issued an official statement denying the claims made. A representative for the couple stated that Bauer’s comments had long ceased to be mere criticism and had turned into an obsessive fixation on their lives.
Correspondent Jenny Bond noted that the book struck a nerve with Meghan and Harry, as it raises painful topics for the couple. It was also previously reported that Princess Kate spoke about her first meeting with Meghan Markle.
