Meghan revealed that she would "love to adopt" a healthier mindset about money. She said: "So many women, especially, we're taught not to even talk about money. And there's lots of guilt mentality surrounding having a lot."

Her comments brought back claims made by a royal author regarding Meghan's alleged expectations on Prince Harry's wealth.

Author Tom Quinn claimed that Meghan's "typically American view" was shattered when she finally found out more about Prince Harry's family.

In his new book Yes Ma'am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants, the author claimed that when the duchess "discovered" that Harry was "only worth about £20 million, she realised she needed to reassess other assumptions she'd made about this strange new family".

He wrote: "Harry, it seemed, had spent little time explaining exactly how strange and demanding his family really are."

The book claimed: "Meghan Markle had a typically American view of the Royal Family before she joined it - for her, life was all about castles, glittering balls and limitless wealth and ease.

"As one royal staff member put it, 'She expected a billionaire and she got a millionaire.'"

Elsewhere, the author said that Meghan's alleged assumption was "perfectly understandable" given her American background.

He wrote: "Above all the modern Royal Family is a celebrity family, albeit one with a strangely 18th-century lifestyle - the palaces and the carriages, the enormous wealth - all underpinned by hierarchies, tradition and vast teams of staff from every social class."
