Queen Elizabeth II was worried about the reality of Meghan Markle’s feelings towards Prince Harry.
The Duchess of Sussex, who tied the knot with Prince Harrry in 2018, gave Her Majesty the impression that she had ‘engineered’ the romance.
Writer Sally Bedell Smith quotes late Queen’s close confidante, Lady Elizabeth Anson, and reveals her core thoughts on Meghan.
Liza revealed: "We hope but don’t quite think she [Meghan Markle] is in love. We think she engineered it all."
Ms Bedell Smith wrote, as per the Mail: "When we spoke two weeks before the May 19 wedding, Liza had just heard from the Queen. 'The Number One Lady—I call her Jemima—says the jury is out on whether she likes Meghan,' said Liza.
"'My Jemima is very worried.' In Liza’s view, 'Harry is besotted and weak about women. We hope but don’t quite think she is in love. We think she engineered it all,’” said the insider.
