Meghan Markle’s Bizarre Nickname From King Charles Revealed

Meghan Markle has been described by several unflattering nicknames since she and her husband, Prince Harrystepped away from their royal duties in 2020.

Previous staff reportedly branded her “difficult Duchess”, and it was recently revealed that former Spotify colleagues called her “Eva”, after a film character with a diva attitude.

However, of all the nicknames Meghan Markle has received, that of her father-in-law, King Charleswould have given him perhaps the weirdest one.

According to the Daily Mail, It was recently revealed that King Charles once branded the Duchess of Sussex “Tungsten” before her ascension to the throne.

The then Prince of Wales reportedly nicknamed Meghan after metal because he considered her a “difficult” and “inflexible” person.

While it may seem like a harsh nickname, Charles reportedly used it to complement the former actress’ personality during her and Harry’s time as working Royals.

The nickname first surfaced in 2018, when a palace source told Charlotte Griffiths of the Send an email Sunday That Charles admired Meghan’s “strength”.

“Prince Charles admires Meghan for her strength and the backbone she gives to Harry, who needs a tungsten-type figure in his life because he can be a little soft. It has become a term of tie”, source said.

Tungsten, known for its core strength and high melting point, is the strongest natural metal on Earth. Its significant properties would have made it clear that Charles had used it to rent out his daughter-in-law Meghan.

While Charles’ nickname for Meghan may have been one of the praises, her father, the late Prince Philip, reportedly had a scathing nickname for the Duchess of Sussex.

According to a book by royal biographer Ingrid Seward, Philip, who died in 2021 at the age of 99, called Meghan the “Duchess of Windsor.”

The nickname refers to the title held by American socialite Wallis Simpson. She was the infamous American divorcee who married Edward VIII in 1937 after he controversially abdicated the throne for her.

In Seward’s book “My Mother and Me,” she claims that Philip always said Meghan and Simpson’s resemblance was “uncanny.”

“He was not simply referring to the fact that the two were pencil-haired, dark-haired, glamorous American divorcees,” she wrote, according to the New York Post,

An important similarity between Meghan and Simpson is that they were divorced women before marrying into royalty. Meghan was married to film producer Trevor Engelson from 2011 to 2014 and began dating Harry in 2016.

More recently, it was revealed that former Spotify staff who worked with Meghan on her Archetypes podcast had a spicy mother nickname or two.

In an interview Fox News Digital, Royal correspondent Neil Sean revealed that the Duchess of Sussex was named “Eva”, a nod to the 1955 film “Queen Bee” starring Joan Crawford.

He said: “Former staff members…told me they decided to name her ‘Eva’, and that was used as a warning sign to let people know she was coming either on the warpath.

Sean added that “it wasn’t an engaging pet nickname,” explaining that it “came from the 1955 camp classic ‘Queen Bee’ starring The Ultimate Diva…herself – Joan Crawford…it is because, like the character Joan [Eva Phillips]she pricked her victims to pieces. This is exactly what the staff felt about working next door [Meghan]. “

However, Meghan was apparently unaware of the nickname during her time at Spotify.

Before VanityBombshell expose on Harry and Meghan, which highlighted scathing allegations against the couple by former Montecito staff and residents, The Hollywood Reporter published an equally piquant article on the royal couple.

The publication reported that Meghan earned the nickname “Duchess Dirk” from her staff in the United States

Sources had said the former actress was known for “putting people down” and ignoring advice.

An insider at the time also criticized Harry, describing the Duke as “charming” but an “enabler” of his wife’s behavior.

“She puts people down, she doesn’t take advice,” the source told the publication. “They’re both bad decision-makers, they change their minds frequently. Harry is a very, very charming person – not at all – but he’s definitely an enabler. And she’s just terrible.”

These claims were mirrored by more allegations against the couple VanityThe February cover story, where staff described Meghan as “horrible” to work with.

Alleged Montecito residents also called the royal duo “local villains,” saying Meghan marketed the town’s low-key charm.

While Harry and Meghan have not directly addressed the scathing report, a source close to the couple said The times that the pair found the allegations “distressing”.

Close associates of Harry and Meghan also said The daily beast That the couple is disheartened by the accusations, especially given their difficult situation: Harry’s legal battles in the UK and Meghan’s highly anticipated Netflix Show postponed.

The Sussexes reportedly feel the bombshell cover-up “succeeded in making bad weather worse”.
