Meghan Markle was upset she was not paid for her Royal duties.
The Duchess of Sussex, who visited Australia as a part of her Royal tour back in 2018, was shocked she was not given monetary compensation for her walkabouts and public meetups.
Royal expert Valentine Low explains: "On the South Pacific tour, Harry and Meghan were going down a storm.
"Massive crowds were turning out to see them, and Meghan’s refreshingly informal approach to royal visits was proving a hit with the Australian public."
Mr Low added: "Behind the scenes, however, it was a different story. Although she enjoyed the attention, Meghan failed to understand the point of all those walkabouts, shaking hands with countless strangers.
Meghan added: "I can't believe I’m not getting paid for this'" before telling her team: "What are they all doing here? It’s silly."
