Much has been made of Meghan Markle's meteoric rise from being a little-known TV actress to being the wife of The King's second son - but it would seem she always had a taste for the finer things in life. A royal author and close friend of Princess Diana has claimed that Meghan always had a reputation among upscale marketers for her interest in receiving expensive bags of designer freebies - and revealed how this continued after she married into The Firm.
Tina Brown's explosive book 'The Palace Papers: Inside The House Of Windsor - The Truth And The Turmoil', explains that Meghan would use her now-defunct blog, The Tig, as a way of getting luxury goods for free. The author explains: "She won a reputation among the marketers of luxury brands of being warmly interested in receiving bags of designer swag."
