Meghan Markle under the spotlight, with reports claiming that Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, was left frustrated after allegedly attempting to support the former actress during her early days in the Royal Family.

According to royal commentators, Sophie was seen by some palace insiders as one of the most suitable figures to help Meghan navigate royal life. Having married into the family herself and spent years adapting to its traditions and expectations, Sophie was believed to have valuable experience that could have benefited the Duchess of Sussex.
However, reports have suggested that Meghan did not take advantage of opportunities to build a close relationship with Sophie. Some royal experts claim that efforts to establish a connection were met with little enthusiasm, leading to a distance between the two women. While the exact details remain unclear, these claims have fueled ongoing speculation about tensions behind palace walls.
The controversy has resurfaced following renewed discussions about Meghan's past comments regarding the level of support she received after joining the monarchy. Critics argue that if offers of guidance were available, it raises questions about later claims that she felt unsupported during her time as a working royal.
Supporters of Meghan, however, point out that adjusting to royal life is an intensely personal experience and that outside observers cannot fully understand the challenges she faced. They argue that even with guidance available, adapting to the pressures of global media attention and royal expectations may have been overwhelming.
