Meghan Markle used to tell US classmates she would grow up to be ‘Queen of Bolivia’

Meghan Markle bragged from the age of 12 that she would be Queen… of Bolivia.

The Duchess of Sussex and one-time Suits actress is said to have made the boast when she moved to a posh new school in Hollywood close to where her dad worked.

A source interviewed for new book Revenge told author Tom Bower that Meghan made the claim in 1993, 25 years before she tied the knot with Prince Harry.

He said: “Her ambition was never in doubt. Influenced by her frequent presence in the studios, she was set upon becoming famous.

“Befriending the son of a Bolivian president at school, Meghan boasted for a few days, ‘I’m going to be Queen of Bolivia.’”

Elsewhere in the biography, Meghan’s childhood pal Ninaki Priddy said that she was “always fascinated by the royal family” and that she “felt like a princess” when she had a leading role in a school play.

It also revealed that she kept a copy of Diana: Her True Story , Andrew Morton’s blockbuster book that exposed the breakdown of her marriage to Prince Charles.

The Star has previously reported how Mr Bower’s book claimed that Meghan Markle “convinced” her husband Prince Harry that his brother, Prince William’s staff were “smearing her”.

In his latest unauthorised biography, Revenge: Meghan, Harry And The War Between The Windsors, which was released last month, Tom made a number of claims about the Royal Family, exclusively to OK!, with Meghan Markle at the centre of his aim.

Tom wrote: “Whispers about a tiara, that Kate had cried, her own demand for aerosol in St George’s chapel and now the staff’s outrageous complaints about her behaviour were, she said, invented to undermine her.”
