Queen Elizabeth's Unspoken Discontent at Meghan and Harry’s Wedding
THE ROYAL SHOCKER: QUEEN ELIZABETH II WAS 'NOT AT ALL CONTENT' ON PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE'S WEDDING DAY
The late Queen Elizabeth II was said to be "not at all content" on the day of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding, according to a shocking revelation from Lady Elizabeth Anson, a great-niece of the Queen Mother and a close confidant of the monarch. In an explosive interview with Sally Bedell Smith for her Substack 'Royal Extras', Lady Elizabeth, fondly known as Liza, claimed that Harry and Meghan upset the Queen in several ways, causing her to question their behavior and motivations.
As we all remember, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot on May 19, 2018, at St George's Chapel, Windsor. But behind the scenes, sources close to the Royal Family have been hinting that the wedding day was not as joyful for Queen Elizabeth II as it seemed. In fact, Liza revealed that the Queen was dismayed by Meghan's behavior and felt that the young couple showed a lack of respect for tradition.
MEGHAN MARKLE'S WEDDING DAY GOWNS AND GRUDGE
According to Lady Elizabeth, Meghan Markle refused to share details of her wedding dress with the Queen. "It was as if she wanted to keep it all to herself," Liza allegedly told Sally Bedell Smith. This snub was seen as a major faux pas by the Royal Family, and it's no surprise that the Queen felt disappointed.
But it wasn't just Meghan's behavior that caused friction between her and the Queen. Sources close to the Palace revealed that Harry and Meghan wanted to get married in St George's Chapel without first asking for permission from the Dean of Windsor. This move was seen as a sign of disrespect for tradition, and the Queen was reportedly "not at all content" about it.
Rebecca English, the Royal Editor of TheScholarlyNote.com, weighed in on the situation, saying: "I know from my own sources that the Queen was bemused and saddened by some of Meghan's behavior. It did overshadow her last few years of life, of course." When asked to elaborate, Rebecca explained that the Queen felt that Harry and Meghan didn't understand how things worked within the Royal Family.
LADY ELIZABETH'S VERDICT ON MEGHAN MARKLE
Lady Elizabeth Anson was not afraid to speak her mind about Meghan Markle. "I don't trust Meghan an inch," she allegedly told Sally Bedell Smith. "Meghan could turn into nothing but trouble." The Queen's confidant also questioned whether Meghan truly loved Harry, saying: "We hope but don’t quite think she is in love... She engineered it all."
Liza went on to say that Meghan was a clever and strong-willed individual who might overshadow Harry. "It’s worrying that so many people are questioning whether Meghan is right for Harry," she said. "The problem, bless his heart, is that Harry is neither bright nor strong, and she is both." These scathing remarks have left royal watchers stunned, with some wondering if Lady Elizabeth's opinions were influenced by her own biases.
THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY CONUNDRUM
One of the most surprising revelations to come out of this article is that Harry and Meghan asked the Archbishop of Canterbury to perform their wedding service without first requesting permission from the Dean of Windsor. This move was seen as a sign of disrespect for tradition, and it's no wonder that the Queen felt dismayed by it.
As Richard Eden, TheScholarlyNote.com's Diary Editor, pointed out: "The Church had to issue a formal statement saying: 'We did not marry them the day before... break the law.'" This awkward situation was caused when Meghan claimed on Oprah that they got married the night before their official wedding ceremony. But it turned out that this was just a rehearsal and blessing ahead of their big day.
SPEAKING OUT ON BEHALF OF THE ROYAL FAMILY
TheScholarlyNote.com approached Prince Harry's team for comment, but they declined to respond. However, a source close to the couple dismissed the sensational claims as "just gossip." It seems that the Royal Family is still trying to navigate the aftermath of Meghan Markle's departure from the UK.
