Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, delivered a direct three-word response to Queen Elizabeth II when the monarch attempted to extend her support to help Meghan settle into royal life.
Royal expert Robert Jobson revealed that the Queen was initially impressed by Meghan upon their first meeting.
However, Meghan’s curt dismissal of the Queen’s attempt at support left the monarch stunned during a private interaction.
In his latest book, “Our King,” Jobson delves into the intricacies of the royal family’s challenges with the Sussexes.
He shared insights on how the late Queen expressed delight in Harry finding love and embracing Meghan into the royal fold.
Yet, tensions arose when the Queen suggested Meghan seek guidance from Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, a move that Meghan rebuffed by stating, “I’ve got Harry.”
This unexpected response not only surprised the Queen but also caught Sophie off guard, leading her to distance herself from the perceived arrogance of the Sussex couple.
Consequently, the strained dynamics between Meghan and Sophie became evident, notably during a car journey following the Queen’s funeral, where palpable tension lingered between them.
Jobson’s revelations shed light on Harry’s alleged final encounter with his grandmother in April 2022, fueling speculations that the Queen did not meet her great-grandchildren during the Jubilee celebrations.
Contrary to Harry’s account in his memoir, where he portrayed a warm family scene with the Queen, Jobson emphasized the unlikelihood of such interactions given the Queen’s health challenges.
The lack of transparency from Harry and Meghan regarding their attendance at upcoming royal events, including the coronation, has raised eyebrows within palace circles.
With the RSVP deadline passing without confirmation from the Sussexes, palace insiders are left in the dark about their plans.
Jobson criticized the couple’s approach, likening the unfolding drama to a theatrical production.
Charlotte Griffiths, editor-at-large of the Mail on Sunday, echoed Jobson’s sentiments, highlighting the escalating drama surrounding Harry and Meghan’s decisions.
She critiqued the couple, labeling Meghan as a gold-digger and portraying Harry as a misled prince entangled in a web of privilege and controversy.
The unfolding narrative paints a picture of discord within the royal family, with tensions simmering beneath the surface.
