Meghan Markle's relationship with courtiers was discussed as part of a new documentary examining Prince William and Prince Harry's relationship with the press. The Duchess of Sussex allegedly locked horns with royal aides over a divergence of views over the role she would have once she married into the family.

       Presenter Amol Rajan spoke to royal experts on the BBC documentary The Princes and the Press.

       Mr Rajan said: "Despite the leaks during this period, none of these stories actually appear in the media."

       Author Anna Pasternak claimed: "Meghan had this agenda that once she was a member of the Royal Family, she was going to have this platform and she was going to have her voice.

       "The one thing that cannot have as a member of the Royal Family is your voice.

       "And I think that she rubbed up against a lot of the cultures and a lot of people very quickly."

       Camilla Tominey added: "The mantra of the Palace is very much what should we do next? What did we do before?

       "It's not, let's tear everything up, and I think Harry and Megan very much wanted to change things and were saying things like, well, why do we have to do this?

       "Why can't we do it differently? We don't want to do it."

       Private investigator Gavin Burrows claimed that he was employed over a number of years by the News of the World and other British newspapers.

       He claimed that the demand for stories about Harry was strong and dubbed him the "new Diana."

       He also said that Prince Harry's former girlfriend Chelsy Davy became a particular target.
