Meghan Markle faced pushback from palace aides during her courtship with Prince Harry , royal insiders Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand revealed in excerpts from their new book, Finding Freedom, featured in People magazine.

The Suits actor received a call from Kensington Palace over a certain necklace that she wore in December 2016 that had little M and H initials.

She was advised that wearing such a necklace only served to encourage the photographers to keep pursuing such images and new headlines, Scobie and Durand said.

The call with a senior aide left Meghan feeling frustrated and emotional, and she was so distraught that she phoned a friend.
