Meghan Markle's relationship with the royal family has taken an unexpected turn in recent months, and she has acquired a startling new title from the Palace.
The Duchess of Sussex, who married Prince Harry in 2018, is now living in Montecito with her husband and their two children, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor.
According to a new royal book, servants serving the royal family refer to the former Suits star as 'Mystic Meg'.
The charges are presented in royal author Tom Quinn's latest book "Yes Ma'am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants," which includes fresh and frightening revelations about the Duchess.
According to the book, the elder members of staff feared the Duchess was 'Mrs Simpson come back to torment us', referring to American divorcee Wallis Simpson, who forced Harry's great-great uncle Edward VIII to abdicate when he married.
One of Harry's top staffers, who has since retired, claimed that when he spoke with the Prince about planned events, his mind was elsewhere, and that the Duke considered his primary activity as being with the Duchess and adopting her worldview.
In an excerpt from the book published in The Times, Quinn described how Kensington Palace personnel divided into 'for Meghan' and 'against Meghan' groups, creating a climate of'swirling rumor, gossip, and backbiting'.
According to the book, while Meghan was dubbed 'the Duchess of Difficult' by certain colleagues, she had admirers among regular employees who appreciated her feisty and change-hungry temperament.
According to one former colleague, Harry has become 'much more interested about social problems and the rights of minorities than he'd ever been before Meghan's arrival.
Quinn went on to say that while some of the younger personnel at Kensington Palace would have applauded this, the older staff believed he had gone wrong.
