Meghan Markle liked freebies — and clashed with staffers who tried to explain that royal protocol forbade accepting gifts from commercial organizations, according to a bombshell new book about the duchess and Prince Harry.

Markle, 41, fought with her personal assistant, Melissa Toubati, because Meghan wanted to keep the clothes she got, the Sun reported, citing excerpts from Valentine Low’s new book, “Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown.”

Toubati resigned six months after Meghan and Harry’s 2018 wedding.

Low’s book cited an insider who claimed: “Clashes centered on the free gifts that some companies would send Meghan. Deliveries were constantly arriving at Kensington Palace. ‘Clothes, jewelry, candles … It was non-stop.”
