Meghan Markle’s personal assistant ‘quits’ just six months after the royal wedding

Meghan Markle’s closest aide has reportedly quit, just six months after the royal wedding.

News of personal assistant, known only as Melissa, decision to leave the role has come as a shock to the Palace, it is claimed.

Speaking to Daily Mail, a source said: ‘Why would she want to leave such a prestigious job so soon?’

While Kensington Palace has declined to comment on the reports, the insider did pay tribute to the PA.

‘Melissa is a hugely talented person,’ the source says. ‘She played a pivotal role in the success of the Royal Wedding and will be missed by everyone in the Royal Household.’

While Daily Mail claims Meghan and Prince Harry’s private secretary Samantha Cohen is also stepping down from the role, she follows predecessor Edward Lane Fox out of the door.

The news comes just it was claimed the Queen and her grandson apparently got into a heated argument before his big day.

And it was all because Meghan was not allowed to wear her first choice tiara, when officially becoming the Duchess of Sussex, The Sun reports.

What Meghan wants

But Harry wasn’t having a bar of it telling his grandmother – her Majesty – that ‘what Meghan wants, Meghan gets’.

According to a book by reporter Richard Jobson, a royal source revealed 37-year-old Meghan wanted to wear a tiara which featured emeralds, but there were concerns it might have come from Russia.

“Meghan had her heart set on this tiara with emeralds and Prince Harry hit the roof when they were told it was impossible for her to wear it,” the source said.

Queen puts her foot down

The royal insider however said the Queen wasn’t having a bar of it and told Harry “she gets what tiara she’s given by me.”

The queen also asked why Meghan would need a veil given this would be her second wedding.

The alleged altercation was the result of the Queen wanting Meghan to think about how she speaks to staff members and be careful to follow family protocols, the insider states.

Queen Mary’s diamonds

Meghan ended up wearing Queen Mary’s diamond and platinum bandeau tiara on her wedding day, which she picked from the Queen’s collection during a visit to Buckingham Palace with Prince Harry.
