Meghan Markle\u2019s latest shock move is a sure sign that she\u2019s ready to \u2018push William\u2019s buttons\u2019 \u2013 say insiders\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/GettyImages-1682541879-1.jpg” alt=”Jennifer Aniston” title_text=”2023 Invictus Games D\u00fcsseldorf” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”19px||16px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
Meghan is making more controversial moves<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been reported time and time again that Meghan Markle is the queen of mastering her timing \u2013 with a backlog of appearances, announcements and TV and podcast interviews seemingly emerging in the moments where they are most likely to \u2018inconvenience\u2019 the Royal Family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Duchess of Sussex, meanwhile, continues\u00a0to insist that she has closed those \u2018chapters\u2019 of her life after stepping down as a working royal alongside Prince Harry in 2020.\u00a0And she appeared to do just that earlier this year, replacing her venomous attack on the monarchy with her sugary sweet and wholesome lifestyle show,\u00a0With Love, Meghan –\u00a0\u00a0which reached the top 10 in both the US and the UK, with viewers poring over the\u00a0mother-of-two’s\u00a0fun lifestyle hacks and foodie delights.<\/p>\n
However, while the raging storm of Meghan and Harry\u2019s fury against the royals has appeared to abate in recent months, a bombshell move from \u2018Team Sussex\u2019 last week has once again proved that the couple remain on a path of revenge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meghan, 43, and Harry, 40, were revealed to have hired the PR executive in charge of promoting the controversial royal drama,\u00a0The Crown, from series three to six \u2013 prompting insiders to describe the shock decision as \u2018almost beyond belief\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, a source now tells us that Meghan\u2019s move to hire Emily Robinson as the Global Publicity Director for her and Harry\u2019s own personal brand was very much a deliberate tactic as she prepares for a fresh new attack on the royals.<\/p>\n

Harry and Meghan have hired a top communications executive for their personal brand<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
An insider says, \u2018The choice to hire a top communications exec from\u00a0The Crown\u00a0is very deliberate. Meghan knows very well that William in particular was furious over how his family was portrayed in the show so this will really push his buttons and that\u2019s exactly what she\u2019s aiming for.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Meghan is certain the royals are looking for ways to show her and Harry up, deride them as outcasts and do damage to their Sussex brand.\u00a0In her mind, the Royal Family started this war by freezing her out, and now she\u2019s making it her mission to win.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since its launch in 2016, Netflix\u2019s\u00a0The Crown\u00a0has gone down in history as the one of the streaming giant\u2019s most popular shows of all time. The royal drama \u2013 which was forced to add a disclaimer that described the shocking scenes as \u2018a fictional dramatization\u2019 \u2013 has scooped up 21 Emmys and has been watched by 73 million households.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, with its depiction of all of the painful, humiliating and heart-breaking events that the Royal Family have endured since the final years of King George VI and throughout the reign of the late Queen Elizabeth II, the show has also been mired in controversy and criticism \u2013 not least from the royals themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While Harry has confessed to watching the show, Royal Biographer Robert Hardman revealed last year that Prince William \u2018rolls his eyes\u2019 when the drama is mentioned, and claimed he was \u2018sickened\u2019 by the scenes depicting his late mother, Princess Diana\u2019s ghost, in season six.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But now the source says that, after residents of Sussex rallied against Harry and Meghan for failing to celebrate \u2018Sussex Day\u2019 earlier this month despite being Duke and Duchess of the county, calling for them to be stripped of their titles, Meghan is all too aware that Prince William will have the power to do just that when he becomes monarch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The source says, \u2018It\u2019s clear as mud William\u2019s got this huge axe to grind, that he\u2019s on this mission to strip them of their royal titles, and now it seems he\u2019s also intending to do the same to Archie and Lili down the line, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018That\u2019s a declaration of total war as far as she\u2019s concerned. There\u2019s no part of her that believes the situation is fair or forgivable so it boils down to fighting fire with fire. She and Harry will fight for what they\u2019re entitled to, stick up for themselves when they\u2019re being unjustly attacked like this, and continue to build themselves a successful life in America however they need to.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meghan revealed last week that she was also set to take a hiatus from her podcast, \u2018Confessions of a Female Founder\u2019 to concentrate on her lifestyle brand, As Ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, during the same interview with Emma Grede on her podcast , ‘Aspire’, Meghan appeared to aim yet another subtle dig at the royals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When asked how she would change anything if she could \u2018rewrite her public narrative\u2019, Meghan coolly replied, \u2018Yes, I would ask people to tell the truth.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

The move has undoubtedly annoyed the Royal Family\u00a0<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
Now, despite telling her own version of the truth through her and Harry\u2019s explosive 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey and their subsequent\u00a0 Netflix docu-series,\u00a0Harry & Meghan, the source says Meghan is now gearing up once again to \u2018hit back any way she can\u2019 against the monarchy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The insider says, \u2018She\u2019s got mega offers for a tell-all book and has been hinting that it may be time to drop that hammer and expose more behind-the-scenes drama from her time at the Palace, and make a fortune while doing it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018She\u2019s also hell-bent on doing more overseas \u2018royal-style\u2019 tours with Harry, despite knowing full well how much it bothers William and The King. She doesn\u2019t need Palace approval to lead global initiatives and sees no reason she and Harry should give that up. The word is she\u2019s even looking closely at all William and Kate\u2019s charity ventures and coming up with ways she and Harry can show them up.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0Away from the limelight, the Sussexes new recruit is also said to have built her own reputation behind-the-scenes for ruling the publicity for\u00a0The Crown\u00a0with \u2018an iron fist\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And the source says that from years of experience, Meghan knows that to succeed and turn their public image around, she and Harry need a strong team behind them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They reveal, \u2018They\u2019ve spent big on this and when top talent comes their way, Meghan is quick to snap it up fast. That\u2019s what happened with this new recruit, which was a total no-brainer from Meghan\u2019s point of view because of the experience she brings to the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018If that comes with the added benefit of upsetting the royals, then all the better. Meghan is determined that she won\u2019t just \u2018roll over\u2019 in the face of criticism and she\u2019s feeling more empowered and self-righteous than ever.\u2019<\/p>\n
