  • Meghan Markle had to partake in a intense training before marrying Prince Harry.

  • Meghan's training involved being "kidnapped" by a terrorist and saved by officers.


You know, Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand's Finding Freedom tell-all book is really the gift that keeps on giving. Because of these two lovely writers, we now know that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry fired their nurse in the middle of the night after Archie was born, that Harry and Prince William's never ending drama stems from money, and that Kate Middleton did diddly squat to welcome Meghan into the royal fam. And now we're learning that before marrying Harry, Meghan had to go through some seriously intense training sessions that would probs make the FBI, CIA, and SWAT teams jealous.

According to an excerpt from the book, Meghan “underwent an intense two-day security course with the SAS, the British Army’s most elite regiment,” which sounds high-key intimidating!!! “Meghan took part in a staged kidnapping, where she was bundled into the back of a car by a ‘terrorist,’ taken to a different location and then ‘saved’ by officers firing fake guns (the kind used in Hollywood filming) for realism.”

When Meghan and Harry first started dating, Us Weekly revealed that Meghan was “given some basic training by protection staff, learning what to do in various situations, whether that’s receiving threats or if she’s worried about someone following her.” The insider added that Meghan's training was “very much the same process” that Kate went through before she got married to William in 2011.

Welp...sincerely hoping that Meghan had access to an emotional support specialist after that training was done because W-O-W it is A Lot. I can almost understand why she wanted to come to America now???
