It’s not the first time Meghan Markle has been hit with a cruel nickname.

A few months ago, it was reported that Meghan Markle had been christened with a nickname by staff working at Buckingham Palace although as nicknames go, it was a harsh choice.

Apparently, the Duchess of Sussex had been referred to as Duchess Difficult by those working with her due to her list of demands but that said, we’re taking this particular piece of information with a very large pinch of salt.

However, it’s now come to light that the mum of one has another nickname and this one is thought to have originated from a senior member of the royal family.

According to The Sunday Times, the senior royal bestowed the former Suits actress with the term ‘the degree wife’.

Why?

Because this royal insider is of the opinion that Meghan’s marriage to Harry will only last for three years… despite the fact that they couldn’t look more in love every time they’re pictured together.

Reports of staff referring to Meghan as ‘difficult’ first emerged last year after rumours surfaced in the lead-up to the royal wedding in 2019.

Palace insiders said that the bride-to-be had asked for air freshener to be sprayed in St George’s Chapel before the wedding as she thought there was a musty smell.

There have also been reports of a feud between Meghan and Kate Middleton after Meghan reportedly criticised a staff member who works with Kate.

However, a spokesperson for Buckingham Palace firmly denied the rumours saying the above “never happened”.
