Royal staff’s nickname for Meghan Markle revealed

The Duchess of Sussex has been likened to a famous female TV character because of her “controlling” reputation.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been nicknamed ‘Monica and Chandler’ by royal staff — because of the former actress’ controlling reputation.

The Duchess has been twinned with the Friends character, played by Courteney Cox, who is famed for being OCD-level clean and bossy.

It comes amid a raft of rumours about Meghan’s behaviour and relationship with other royals.

There is increasing concern over her conducting royal affairs on her own and under the radar.

The strong-willed royal newcomer, 37, has recently watched Michelle Obama, met with academics and made a surprise appearance at the British Fashion Awards.

Plus, Harry and Meghan are plagued with speculation about a rift with Prince William and Kate.

The couple are also set to snub the traditional Christmas shoot after Meghan raised concerns about killing “defenceless animals”.

Now, below stairs staff have dubbed them Monica and Chandler in reaction to her domineering persona and his likeable, but submissive attitude, according to the Daily Mail.

The Sussexes will be with the Queen at Sandringham amid ongoing rumours of a rift between the two royal couples.

Harry and soon-to-be-mum Meghan turned down the option of staying at Wills and Kate’s Norfolk home Anmer Hall for Christmas, where they had a “fantastic” time with the children last year.

The two brothers have reportedly fallen out while Kate was said to have been left in tears over ­Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress for Meghan and Harry’s royal wedding at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle in May.

The Sun previously revealed Harry and Meghan, are moving to Windsor — more than 30 miles away from Wills and Kate, both 36, in Kensington Palace.
