"Apparently, when Meghan Markle joined the Royal Family, she sought out Princess Anne.

"According to a very good source, Princess Anne gave very sage advice to the new royal."

The royal commentator opened up on the tough "no-nonsense" advice that Anne gave to Meghan.

"Princess Anne reiterated this mantra, she pointed out that it wasn't a working monarchy, it was a job, you turn up on time, you do your research, and do the duty," Sean added.

"It's all about the project at hand.

"She also pointed out that whatever charities you are involved in, you needed to get involved and get immersed."

As opposed to taking the advice head-on, Sean claimed that Meghan “left the meeting dumbfounded”.

He continued: "According to a very good source Meghan Markle failed to warm to Princess Anne, and Princess Anne always knew that Meghan would have a very short shelf-life in the world of the British monarchy."
