'It's always her way or the highway - she flees when things get heavy': Friends and family of Meghan Markle open up

Daily Mail
Among the innumerable fascinating traits I uncovered when researching Meghan Markle's life story was her fondness for homespun mottos. She seemed to have an aphorism to suit almost every eventuality. One was recited to her friends whenever she embarked on some landmark venture, such as a career move or a new relationship. 'Never give it five minutes if you're not prepared to give it five years,' she would declare (omitting to say this mantra was originally coined by her first husband, Trevor Engelson). That it has taken Meghan considerably less time — just 20 months — to decide she cannot adjust to the rigours of royal duty may have shocked the British public.  .....'She has been able to move fast because this has been planned for months. She is running a campaign. This is not just an exit. It is a long-game strategy that has been set in motion for some time.'   ......
Intriguingly, I am told that, in the dying days of her marriage to Engelson, he and Meghan retreated to the island ( Vancouver Island), with its magnificent forests and wild coastline, in a last-ditch attempt to reconcile their differences.They stayed in a house belonging to the family of her fellow Suits cast member Patrick Adams.   ....... Soon after, she divorced Engelson (returning his wedding and engagement rings by post) and began a relationship with Cory Vitiello, a celebrity chef she met in Toronto, where she was filming Suits, the TV soap that brought her the fame she craved.  ....
And 60 per cent believe they should also stump up the £2.4million cost of the controversial refurbishment of the home. Only 25 per cent say they should not have to find the money.
An even bigger proportion, 76 per cent, reckon Harry and Meghan should not get another penny in support from Buckingham Palace or the Government – or Metropolitan Police protection – if they live abroad. Only 13 per cent say they should be able to retain these entitlements.....
