There is high family drama playing within the precincts of Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace. The actors are the Queen herself in a minor role, daughter-in-law Camilla Parker-Bowles in a major role, grandson Prince Harry in a minor role, and the grandson's girl-friend Rachel Meghan Markle in a major role.

In a report published by Celebdirtylaundry.com, there is already trouble brewing among the principal players as Camilla Parker-Bowles, Prince Harry's stepmother is up in arms against her stepson's courtship of Meghan Markle.

Rachel Meghan Markle is a 35-year-old American actress whose claim to fame till recently has been her role in American TV legal drama, Suits, where she plays Rachel Zane, a paralegal with an astounding knowledge of the law.

Her fame has notched up considerably after she enchanted 32-year-old Prince Harry so much so that she is now his new girlfriend. Prince Harry has had his relationships with other women since the age of 21. Meghan Markle has been married once and divorced.

Camilla Parker-Bowles' animosity must be stemming from her tryst with too many commoners - step daughter-in-law Kate Middleton, Prince Andrew's ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, and not to forget the deceased Lady Diana. Camilla Parker-Bowles has the unlikely support from her mother-in-law the Queen.

Prince Harry is considered to be a maverick as he has done some crazy things that royalty is not supposed to do. One of them, of course, is not to fall for a commoner. But now he has done it and as confirmed by Kensington Palace, he is in a relationship with Meghan Markle.  

In a report published by Standard.co.uk, Prince Harry's love for Markle is so strong that he is likely to pay for the protection of his lady love. His mother's tragic death must still be fresh in his memory.

But strange are the ways of love that a prince meets a reasonably well-known actress who is a commoner and falls for her and she for him. But, that is not what Camilla Parker-Bowles thinks of Markle's love for the prince; it is the glamor of royalty, and she is determined to protect her stepson from the American actress.

The next act in this high profile royal soap opera will be awaited with bated breath.
