Meghan Markle’s etiquette teacher ‘appalled’ she ‘attacked the monarchy’

British etiquette teacher Edmund Fry, who once schooled Markle in the edicts of the upper crest, said he’s disgusted by her conduct since she exited the royal family in 2020.

Fry, 83, runs the Rose Tree Cottage restaurant in Pasadena, Calif. — a place where the former actress took lessons on how to “have tea with Queen [Elizabeth].” He noted that he was “appalled” with Markle, 41, and her husband Prince Harry’s ill-mannered behaviors when “attacking the monarchy.”

“Ever since the Netflix thing came up and the Oprah [Winfrey] interview and things were being mentioned about racism in the royal family and so on, it tainted it,”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have released numerous tell-alls about their abrupt departure from the royal family, including a bombshell sit-down with Winfrey, a streaming docuseries titled “Harry & Meghan” as well as Harry’s memoir “Spare.”

Customers “loyal to King Charles” and don’t discuss Markle when munching on their petit fours, mini sandwiches and sipping their English Breakfast tea. She is said his clientele felt “let down” by her actions, and he suggested that the couple have “squandered that opportunity” to “help out the Commonwealth.”

“Ordinary and poor people wouldn’t talk about their next-door neighbor like that [as Harry spoke about his family],”

Back in 2017 — when Markle became engaged to Harry, 38, and made the grand move to London — Fry said he first met with the “Suits” star. He told the Daily Mail at the time that he gave her his full support and claimed she “enjoyed” the princess lessons very much..

“The younger generation doesn’t know what bone china is and certainly don’t know anything about how to handle a cup and saucer, or how to handle a knife and fork,” he scoffed.

He continued: “They come to us mainly to find out, ‘What should we do, as we are having this social event?’ “The same sort of thing happened with Meghan. She knew she would be having tea with the Queen,” he said.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle still hold significant influence and have a range of potential avenues to explore. Harry’s absence in the high court proceedings yesterday demonstrates his continued control over sharing the details of his life on his own terms, asserting his position as the leading figure of the Sussex brand.

British content writer, current affairs and royal expert Mark Boardman said “From a young age, Prince Harry has displayed a deep disdain for the media, a sentiment that persists today as he ventures into politics, openly criticizing the press and government considering them at rock bottom”.

“They both have no intention of leaving the public eye and Harry is set on putting the record straight and with Harry delivering evidence, there will be plenty of questions and interview requests to Harry via his team” added entertainment reporter Mark Boardman

The Queen died last September at the age of 96 and reports surfaced earlier this month how the announcement of Harry’s 400-page book amid her health problems was “cruel.”

A close friend of the long-reigning sovereign alleged to the Daily Beast that “the queen was in a lot of pain” towards the final months of her life.

“That was the time for Harry and [wife Meghan Markle] to bite their tongue. Instead, they produced this unending stream of incredibly hurtful films and interviews attacking her life’s work,” they fumed.

The friend added: “For Harry to announce he was writing a memoir when his grandmother was not just recently widowed but actually dying herself, as he must have known she was—well, the cruelty of it takes the breath away.”

Prince Harry Testimony Bombshells: Princess Diana, Chelsy Davy & More

The Duke of Sussex arrived at London’s High Court on June 6 to testify in the phone hacking case against Mirror Group Newspapers, becoming the first senior British royal to testify in a court of law in more than a century.

In his 55-page witness statement, published in full by the New York Times, Harry wrote that he “genuinely feels that in every relationship that I’ve ever had—be that with friends, girlfriends, with family or with the army, there’s always been a third party involved, namely the tabloid press.”

Harry’s case, according to the BBC (which was filed in 2019), involves 148 articles published between 1996 and 2010. His testimony comes nearly a month after MGN, which owns publications including Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror, and Daily Express, apologized to the Duke of Sussex for a single instance of unlawfully gathering information amid the start of the trial.

“MGN unreservedly apologises for all such instances of UIG,” the publisher’s statement—written in a May 10 court filing—read, per the BBC, “and assures the claimants that such conduct will never be repeated.” The company added that the violation in question, which isn’t part of his lawsuit against MGN, “warrants compensation.”
