Meghan Markle definitely didn’t garner the same kind of glowing press coverage that Prince Harry’s ex Chelsy Davy did. Still, the paparazzi and tabloids equally hounded and hunted the two women. And, it transpires that Davy had something else in common with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.
In his memoir “Spare,” Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, claimed that Davy really wasn’t impressed by his royal status, had limited knowledge of the royal family, and was interested in Harry, simply as Harry. “I’d always wanted to know what it might be like to meet a woman and not have her eyes widen at the mention of my title but instead to widen them myself, using my mind, my heart,” he wrote. “With Chelsy, that seemed a real possibility. Not only was she uninterested in my title, she seemed bored by it. ‘Oh, you’re a prince? Yawn.'”

Meghan also claimed to know very little about Harry, or the royal family, before falling in love with him and marrying into The Firm. It’s a subject that’s prompted many a disbelieving sneer from Meghan’s arch-enemy Piers Morgan. “I didn’t do any research about what [marrying a royal] would mean,” Meghan told Oprah Winfrey in the couple’s bombshell interview. “I didn’t feel any need to because everything I needed to know he was sharing with me. Everything we thought I needed to know, he was telling me.”
