Meghan Markle reportedly received unusual royal 'help' according to new book
Endgame," insights into Meghan Markle's early days in the royal fold have surfaced, shedding light on the unusual offer of assistance extended to her by the late Queen Elizabeth II. The book discloses that the palace proposed Lieutenant Colonel Nana Kofi Twumasi-Ankrah, a Ghanaian-born household cavalry officer, to aid Markle in adjusting to her royal responsibilities due to her biracial background. However, this suggestion reportedly didn't sit well with Markle and her circle.
Scobie’s book highlights the discomfort Markle felt with this proposal. “Though a charming and intelligent man, it stood out like a sore thumb to Meghan and her friends,” he writes. The suggestion of «the Queen’s attendant» assisting her was perceived as an insult, especially considering the apparent lack of diversity in senior positions within the palace.
It’s indicated that Markle was previously assigned Lady Susan Hussey to assist in her transition into royal life. Yet, she declined this offer, prompting the palace to suggest Lieutenant Colonel Twumasi-Ankrah as a mentor. The book also echoes previous reports, revealing a supposed disconnect between the palace’s choices for Markle's support and the actual help she needed, particularly lacking representation of women of color in these roles.
Further complicating matters, Hussey eventually stepped down from her royal duties in 2022 due to controversial remarks made to a Black domestic abuse campaigner. Scobie’s book has emerged amidst an accidental misprint of «Endgame,» implicating Kate Middleton and King Charles III in “racist” remarks, which they have yet to publicly address or respond to.
