Meghan Markle "loves" the fame and adulation of being a member of Britain's Royal Family, an estranged family member claims.
Joseph Johnson, the Duchess of Sussex's maternal uncle, said the former Suits star is relishing her rapid rise from TV actress to global icon.
It comes after Meghan, 37, and husband Prince Harry moved to the Queen's Windsor estate to have more privacy and announced the birth of their first child will be kept under wraps at first.
The couple recently launched their own Instagram account - which now has 4.5million fans - and announced they are teaming up with Oprah for a new documentary series on mental health.
Mr Johnson, the half-brother of Meghan's mum Doria Ragland, 62, said the Duchess - who is fawned over worldwide - "loves" all of the attention she has been getting.
Being an actress helped to prepare her for the fame, he added.
The spotlight will become even more intense once she gives birth to the Queen's newest great-grandchild soon.
Mr Johnson, 69, told the Daily Mail: "She likes that attention, she's had the schooling, and then being in Hollywood, which is a good type of preparation, so she can handle that.
"I have read that some of Harry's old girlfriends couldn't handle all the scrutiny. But from what I hear, from what Doria says about Meghan, she loves it."
He added: "That is great, because that's certainly a huge part of it [her new role]. The public eye."

Mr Johnson rejected reports about the Duchess, saying she is a "wonderful" woman who isn't afraid of being herself.
He suggested Meghan, raised in a household dominated by independent women, How Meghan Markle's childhood means she could prefer a girl to having a boy and a boy would be "more of a challenge".
Mr Johnson is an artist who lives in Fresno, California, about 200 miles from where Meghan grew up in Los Angeles.
He said Meghan - nicknamed Flower by her mum - is no longer in touch with him and his wife, Pamela, for reasons of her own.
His said wife was "really put off" that the couple weren't invited to Meghan and 34-year-old Harry's wedding in May last year, and he felt "kind of sad", but shrugged it off and watched the event on TV like millions around the world.
Doria was the only family member to attend the couple's nuptials at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
Meghan is also estranged from her father, Thomas Markle Snr, 74, and her half-siblings Thomas Jnr, 53, and Samantha, 54, who have revealed family secrets, spoken about their differences and rows, and criticised her in frequent interviews.
Nearly a year on from the wedding, Meghan is due to give birth to the couple's first child.
