• Prince Harry and Meghan “completely underestimated” life outside of The Firm.

Even before she met Prince Harry, Meghan Markle had a strong interest in high-end goods and freebies. According to author Tina Brown, the Duchess of Sussex used her blog, The Tig, to obtain gifts from upscale designers in order to promote their products.

“She won a reputation among the marketers of luxury brands of being warmly interested in receiving bags of designer swag.”

Specifically how Prince Harry and Meghan “completely underestimated” life outside of The Firm is covered in one of the book’s major sections.

Speaking to The Washington Post, Ms. Brown disclosed that the Duchess stuck to her previous routines despite having met Prince Harry.

“Meghan couldn’t resist everything that was on offer on the celebrity buffet.”

She added: “They wanted to be able to have a commercial arm to their activities. Meghan certainly saw deals that were there to be made that they had to leave on the table because they were royals.”

Ms. Brown said of Harry while discussing Megxit:  “I really think Harry wanted out, himself. Meghan gave Harry the tools to leave.

“She understood the world of agents and deals. I mean this wasn’t Harry’s world, but suddenly he had in Meghan a very worldly strategist who he decided to trust above all the other advisors.”
