Meghan Markle has only been a member of the royal family for about a week and she’s already been assigned someone to help her navigate her way through royal protocol.
The Queen herself has “lent” the Duchess one of her most trusted aides. Her name is Samantha Cohen and according to The Daily Mail, the “feisty Australian” earned the nickname “Samantha the Panther” because of her no-nonsense approach. And if you ask The Queen, it’s just the thing Markle needs to kick her into royal gear.

Markle is said to be willing to “listen” under the mentorship of Cohen.
A source told The Times:
It will be six months of listening. She is seeking out advice from a range of people. She is going to proceed with humility. It is not going to be quiet, though. It is going to be a very busy office. She has worked every day of her life. She is used to a demanding schedule.
