The interview that showed Meghan Markle was going to break ALL the royal rules – and it was only a sign of things to come

‘They [Harry and Meghan] tried to get it changed online, because [they thought] it had been racially motivated,’ said a source.
The Vanity Fair cover was seen as evidence by many royal watchers at the time that Meghan and Harry were soon to be walking down the aisle.
But it also raised eyebrows that Meghan would not be willing to play by the strict and well-established rules of the Royal Family.
She would go on to break them in a high-profile Oprah interview, a tell-all Netflix series and in numerous interviews.
Writing for Au News, royal commentator Daniela Elser said that in the interview, Meghan broke the mould of ‘tight-lipped silence’ that had been the standard procedure for Windsor wives and girlfriends.
She said: ‘Rather, with her Vanity Fair appearance, she didn’t so much break that mould as chicly smash it to smithereens, trouncing the unspoken omerta that royal girlfriends had thus far diligently adhered to.’
Ms Elser wrote that royal courtiers should have ‘paid much, much more attention to that magazine moment in 2017,’ asking: ‘Were the warning signs there, even then, that the introduction of Meghan into the royal world was never, ever going to be smooth sailing?’
She claimed that the magazine cover story was the ‘first major signal that things were serious and altar-bound.’
The Vanity Fair article suggested Meghan ‘would do things her own way,’ and ‘would not be constrained or restricted by protocol or precedent’, she claimed.
