Markle admitted she’s “particular” when “walking into a room”. Further explaining, “I think a high tide raises all ships, right?”

The Duchess, 41, is married to Prince Harry, the couple decided to part ways with not only the royal staff that claimed she was difficult, but up and left the monarchy as a whole.
Contrary to her critics, she feels insecure about sharing her opinions.
“I would find myself cowering and tiptoeing in a room where, I don’t know, if you do that thing I find the most embarrassing. When you’re saying a sentence but the intonation goes up like a question,” she asked Rae.
