Instead, the perception is Meghan and Prince Harry have hit back at unflattering portrayals, rather than weather them.
An anonymous palace aide also told the Mail that Camilla made effort to be a ‘mentor’ before.
Previously, the Duchess of Cornwall also spent time with Kate Middleton for similar purposes, before she married Prince William.
