Meghan Markle revealed that she did not have access to her passport, driver’s license and keys while she was behind the palace walls – protocols that were probably for her own protection, royal experts said.
The Duchess of Sussex, 39, revealed how “all of this is reversed” in her special Oprah Winfrey that aired earlier in the week.
“Meghan had to hand over her driver’s license under the safety rules. If she were driving alone, she would not be protected, “explained historian Robert Lacey, who advises on the Netflix series” The Crown “, he explained to the BBC.
As for having to hand over your passport, this may have been taken into custody.
Robert Finch, who heads the pro-monarchy group The Monarchist League of Canada, said that “it is presumed that the valuable personal documents of royalty are kept in a safe or vault – under the watch of the general security of the palace”
“It looks like it fit Meghan’s narrative of being trapped and isolated, but it really was routine, and probably anything would be accessible to her if she wanted to,” Finch told the channel.
In her bombastic interview with Winfrey, Markle said the items were not returned to her until she left royalty and moved to California.
“When I joined that family, it was the last time, until we came here, that I saw my passport, my driver’s license, my keys,” she said.
