Meghan Markle ‘upset’ royals as she was ‘cleverer than them’, claims expert

Meghan Markle upset members of the royal family and their courtiers because she was so intelligent, a biographer has claimed to have been told by palace insiders.

Royal expert Sean Smith, author of Meghan Misunderstood, said that whenever Meghan walked into a room, "she was the most intelligent person in it".

He says this had led to her being "disliked" during her time as a royal.

Sean tweeted: "A columnist being rude about #PrinceHarry's school exams reminded me that when researching Meghan Misunderstood I was told a reason Meghan was so disliked by the Royal Family and their courtiers was that whenever she walked into a room, she was the most intelligent person in it."

Speaking to Vanity Fair in January 2019, a source previously revealed Meghan is "insanely smart".

They said: "Meghan’s goal was always becoming a household name.

"She’s insanely smart and poised, but very, very guarded."

Oprah Winfrey previously claimed that Meghan was "advised to be half herself" shortly after joining the Royal Family.

The talk show host, who interviewed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex earlier this year, revealed that Meghan confided in her in 2018 about the alleged comment on keeping a lower profile.

Oprah said: "She had just joined the Royal Family and she shared a conversation with me then that made me feel somewhat disheartened.

"She said she had been told, been given advice, that it would be best if she could be 50% less than she was.

"That was the quote, if she could be 50% less.

"I remember hearing that in 2018 and I said to her, 'I don't know how you're going to survive, being half of yourself'."
