Meghan Markle's royal etiquette coach who taught the Duchess how to properly take tea with the Queen revealed he's 'disappointed' with how she and Prince Harry handled their exit from the Royal Family.Edmund Fry, who is the owner of the authentic English tea room Rose Tree Cottage in Pasadena, California said the Sussexes were given a "great opportunity" to make a positive change in the world, but believes they have spoiled that chance with the comments they have made about the royals in the media.The 83-year-old expert and Royal fan also claimed that his clients, who visit his tea room regularly, are also feeling disheartened by their behaviour, the Mirror reports.He claims the "majority of people" were appalled by the Sussexes' interview with Oprah and Harry's bombshell memoir, Spare.

Speaking to The Sun, Mr Fry said: "When they were first talking [about leaving], they were talking about being ambassadors to the world, helping out the Commonwealth, being involved with disabled people. "They had a great opportunity.

There's not really been much heard from them on anything like that. "Ever since the Netflix thing came up and the Oprah interview and things were being mentioned about racism in the royal family and so on, it tainted it." The tea room owner added that he was "heartbroken" to see how divided the Firm was during King Charles' historical Coronation which Harry briefly returned home for while Meghan stayed at home in California with their two kids.

Since the Duke and Duchess moved to the States, Mr Fry claims that his tea room customers have made it clear to him and his wife that they "don't even want to talk about" the couple.He explained: "You couldn't give a book away on Meghan anymore.
