MEGHAN Markle has earned herself the nickname “the degree wife” by a senior royal, as they think her marriage to Prince Harry will “only last three years”.
According to The Sunday Times, this is the latest unflattering moniker given to the Duchess of Sussex, 37, since she married Harry last May.
It was previously reported that Meghan was given the nickname “Me-Gain” at Kensington Palace due to rubbing staff up the wrong way.
She has been called “Duchess Difficult” for sending emails in the early hours of the morning and for “yelling at someone for suggesting she wear ‘garbage’ tights from M&S”.
A palace source is also said to have commented on why Harry’s long-time pals – such as Eton pal Tom “Skippy” Inskip and PR guru Astrid Harbord – have been excluded from Harry’s circle.
The insider told the publication: “Anybody who voiced any kind of reservation about Meghan has been sidelined.”
The news comes as it has been revealed Meghan and Prince Harry are planning to split the charity they share with Prince William and Kate Middleton this week.
According to recent reports, the Royal Foundation will be divided between the Sussexes and Cambridges as the couples focus on their own separate charitable endeavours.
Over the years, the charity has focused on wildlife conservation and mental health as well as supporting the armed forces and young people.
However, it is now understood that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are planning to walk away from the Royal Foundation – resulting in further rumours of a rift between the two couples.
According to The Sunday Times, the “decision is expected to be formally announced at a board meeting on Wednesday.”
What’s more, a charity insider told The Mirror: “At the start of last year, the plan was that all four would work together and I really believed in them as the power of four.”
Rumours of a rift between the two couples have been circulating over the past few months, following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s move to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.
And the two brothers reportedly fell out after Prince William’s concerns over Meghan Markle reportedly “went down quite badly” his brother.
Speaking to Fox News, royal author Katie Nicholl said: “William was concerned about how quickly the relationship had moved and wanted to make sure that Harry was making the right decision.”
Last November, The Sun exclusively revealed that Meghan Markle “left Kate Middleton in tears” over her strict demands for Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress.
Meanwhile, one of Prince Harry’s former friends Lizzie Cundy claimed earlier this year that Meghan Markle has pushed Prince Harry’s friends outsince their move to Frogmore Cottage.
In more Royal Family news, Prince Philip “advised Prince Harry NOT to wed Meghan Markle” as “one doesn’t marry actresses”.
