The former American mannequin and the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, is known for a myriad of attributes and characteristics. However, her being particular in her ways and having her things on point is one of the most sought-after characteristics of the Duchess. Although the same did invite a lot of trouble for her in her personal sphere with the royal family, it did help her make some beautiful memories to cherish as well. Manifesting the same, the Duchess had some specific instructions for her cake baker in her grand royal wedding with Prince Harry. 

Their royal cake baker Claire Ptak, who boasts an extensive career in baking, shared some of her unforgettable experiences with royalty. Speaking to Tatler about her work at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, she revealed some of her intimate conversations with the Duchess. As reported by the magazine, Markle was already a fan of her work in the bakery. Thus, her working on a royal delicacy that the British Prince and the California-based bride had dreamed of was “really wild”. 

The pressure that came along with working with the royal aides made her “crazy busy”. However, it was Meghan Markle who made her feel comfortable in her space to focus on the job. Markle never wanted to dictate her ways at the Ptak. The reason was, she loved the way she flourished. “Why I’ve chosen you is because I love your baking and your work and your point of view and your ethos,” were Markle’s words to the renowned cake baker. 

In times of unusual situations, these came as both words of comfort and encouragement for the baker. Claire Ptak further expressed to the magazine her reaction after hearing the Duchess’ words. “Oh my god, that’s so cool. The best job brief ever!” exclaimed Ptak to the outlet.

Nevertheless, things were not as smooth as this for the Duchess in most cases. 

Meghan Markle received major hits for having her way in the Palace’s administration 

There have been countless controversies regarding the same. But the major highlights that once breached top headlines for the royal news were Markle bullying the Palace staff with her instructions. As major publications once claimed, they accused Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of apparently abusing the staff. Palace insiders claimed that they received supposed “humiliating” treatment from the Duchess. 

Markle’s supporters, who call themselves the Sussex Squad, strongly opposed the allegations. In no time, the crude remarks became just one-sided tales labeled as “smear campaigns” to defame the couple.
