The royal rules do get out of hand sometimes. And given you’re a literal foreigner to this age-old landed aristocracy of Great Britain, it is only natural to feel the stint of the stringent protocols. This was exactly what happened in the case of the now Duchess, Meghan Markle. The present 41-year-old made her way from the easy-go freestyle living flair of America to keep up with the culture and tradition imposed by the monarchy on its family members in the United Kingdom.

While digging into the same, we found reports that claimed like anyone else in the royal family, Meghan Markle also has to go through tough training for being befitting to the UK Sovereigns. As claimed by the Independent. UK, the former American actress underwent intense security training before having called herself a royal, although estranged.

The Duchess actually received training on how to deal with hostage situations as so when faced by the royal family. Alex Bomberg, a former aide to the Palace and the CEO of Intelligent Protection International, revealed some fact-checks around the same.

“If you can imagine her being put into a room, being treated as a hostage”, the room will be stormed by the SAS, said Bomberg to Independent. The UK. Hence, Markel receiving the training was certain, and it did happen to help the Duchess for good. 

What were the protocols all about?

Further revealing to the outlet, he claimed that no one who came from a foreign land was exempted from the same. Princess Diana and King Charles too underwent the same royale procedure to become immune to the part and parcel of the job of being a royal. It was all about how to handle media without close protection and adapting to the round-the-clock security having some uncomfortable restrictions on the freedom of movement. 

“She won’t be able to come and go as freely as she would if she was a normal person,” explains Bomberg. He further explained how every occasional outing of the Duchess was to come under surveillance. From a simple doctor’s appointment to attending a friend’s party would have been strictly monitored by the Palace going forward. 

All in all, it was everything that the former American actress openly hated. With similar situations spiraling up to colossal issues, the families now lay apart with the Sussexes in America and the rest of them at the House of Windsor.
