Royal Family has told Meghan Markle to "hang in there" as she continues to suffer a "hellish kind of hazing".The term, used in the US to describe a painful initiation period, was chosen by a third cousin of King Charles – Christina Oxenberg, whose mother Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia was once engaged to actor Richard Burton in between his two marriages to Elizabeth Taylor.In an interview with the New York Post, 59-year-old Oxenberg also stated her belief that Meghan is the subject of cruel jibes in the UK because she is a "foreigner", arguing her treatment is similar to that dished out to the likes of Koo Stark and Princess Michael of Kent in the past.READ MORE: Prince Harry told to 'get a degree' as back up from Royal Family exit masterplanShe also suggested that others, such as Sarah Ferguson and Kate Middleton, who are both British but deemed to be from a lower class than the circles the royals normally mix in, also had their own "hazing" difficulties.
