From the moment the news about “Royal Couple” as popularly by fans became public, there have been many controversies surrounding the union. Meghan Markle‘s friend and business adviser, Gina Nelthorpe-Cowne spoke about Meghan’s transition from being an actress to being a member of the Royal family. Now let’s see how that has turned out.
Gina Nelthorpe-Cowne Talks About “Special” Meghan Markle
Gina and Meghan met while Meghan was still an actress for one of the biggest Legal Drama shows, Suits in 2014. Gina described Meghan as “special” and she had noted that when they first met. Describing Meghan, Gina said, “she was razor-sharp—creative and meticulous, with a good business brain and an American entrepreneurial attitude towards life.
Meghan Markle Wanted The “Glamor And Glory” But Not The Daily Grind, Says The Duchess’s Friend And Business Adviser
She certainly knew her own mind- and was not afraid even to voice her ‘woke’ opinions.” Gina said. As their professional relationship soon advanced into friendship, the two confided in the other about professional and personal aspects of their lives. When Gina found out that Meghan and Harry were seeing each other, she was excited for her.
However, this changed when she realized Meghan was interested in being Harry’s wife as Meghan “wanted Harry to propose to her.” Gina said that she was worried that Meghan didn’t have the ability to handle the pressure that she would have to face as Harry’s wife. She also added that ever since she voiced out her concerns to Meghan. Their relationship turned sour. According to Gina, Meghan “is a very ambitious woman” and she had a mission to “bag The Prince.”
Now when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made their decision to step down from the Royal family, Gina stated that she was not in any way surprised, although she thought it happened way too early. Explaining that the British lifestyle, especially as a Royal was not the kind of lifestyle Meghan wanted.
“She’ll see Royal life as staid and stuffy. She certainly never showed me any interest in British life and traditions,” Gina said, “In pure business terms, the decision to step down from Royal duties is correct, of course. I have no doubt that Meghan and Harry have the potential to earn money that would dwarf the allowances they received for being royals.
She knows what she’s doing,” Gina said this while explaining that for what Meghan wanted, which is to build her career as a businesswoman and as a public figure, leaving the royal family was the best option. It is clear that just like Gina said, Meghan did not understand how the British, let alone the Royal family works. Gina also said, “My feeling was that she’d find it impossible to deal with the formality of being a member of the Royal family.
She would find it difficult to conform and her Hollywood worldview would be seriously challenged by the low-key, often repetitively dull work involved.” Gina continued, “She wanted all the glamor and glory of being a Windsor, but I don’t think she was ever truly up for taking on the daily grind that came with it.”
The words that Gina spoke at the time seems to be forming these days especially with Meghan’s decision to speak about the Royal family to US Tabloids, including Oprah Winfrey’s show, this seemed to have caused major drift between the Sussexes and the rest of the Royal family. In truth, Gina’s statement about Meghan not fully understanding how the Royal family works played out in her decision to carry their case to the US tabloids.
According to Gina, the amount of money and fame that the couple would gain if they made a decision to “exploit their full commercial potential would command top dollar.” It is clear that Meghan was aware of this and maybe this made her decide to make a change and leave the Royal family and she convinced Prince Harry.
With the deed already done, rather than the life of luxury and freedom Meghan expected to have after her decision, it seems her friend’s warning which she ignored at the time has come back to bite her in the a**. Amongst the royal family, the Sussexes are almost the least liked and it’s mainly due to Meghan’s decisions and actions. This was evident in the Queen’s recent Platinum Jubilee celebrations where the couple was booed by onlookers.
OMG, someone has nailed it! Mehgan saw the glory, glamor, and $ in snagging and exploiting Royalty. Most of the UK and the US had already figured this out long ago. Her underhanded plan has failed so far. However, she has managed to produce two kids with Harry. It won’t do her any good, though, because Harry is on his way to being broke, and I doubt the Monarchy will shell out child support. His family tried to warn him. He made his bed, now he will have to lie in it.
@Linsay, Spot on.

I had to read this sentence three times to actually decifer wtf was trying to be said here. Who edits this stuff anyway? Do you *have* an editor? This whole article was actually painful to read.
This is Mehgan’s biggest role yet and she’s still not good at it because everyone that has eyes and brain’s can see right through her fakeness, extreme insanity and manipulation
@Jay, she must be a sorceress
Megan is very calculating and took advantage of Harry’s vulnerability and his infatuation for her. She pretended she was like his mother and he fell for it hook line and sinker. It’s a sad situation and I hope Harry wakes up and take his power back because all she wants is power, money and fame. He should have taken note of how she treats with her family, then again she lies a lot and is good at playing victim.
@Glee, You nailed it
….”business brain… American entrepreneural attitude………….” – ……”not the daily grind…..” Which means, ambitious but lazy, wants the cake and eat it too, presumptuous, grifter for easy money from the Royals via spineless Harry.
