According to Radar Online, Elizabeth was as blunt as can be in her final days, even allegedly insinuating her regret for Prince Harry and Meghan’s nuptials in 2018. Not only did she reportedly say she regretted “how things had panned out,” but insiders said Elizabeth claimed she “saw straight through” Meghan.
“It was a startling sentence to hear from the most forgiving woman on the Earth,” the source said.
Another instance occurred during a gathering at Balmoral Castle, where sources claim: “At the drinks before the dinner, a small group was talking to the monarch and she explained Harry meeting Meghan was a complete catastrophe. Everybody’s eyebrows hit the ceiling.”
While Meghan publicly praised Elizabeth when she and Harry were first engaged in 2017, over the years, more information has come out about the strained relationship. Per NY Post, Meghan talked about the racism she faced from the monarchy, who were worried about how “dark” she and Harry’s baby would be. That coupled with many more reports showed that Meghan and Elizabeth’s relationship wasn’t a very good one.
Meghan wasn’t the only one of Harry’s partners that Elizabeth reportedly didn’t care for. In fact, she was allegedly one of the big influences in Harry ending things with his on-again, off-again girlfriend Chesy Davy.
It’s unclear why Elizabeth had such a negative view of Meghan. Some have speculated that it was due to Meghan’s American background, her biracial heritage, or her outspoken personality. Whatever the reason, it’s clear that the two women never really saw eye to eye.
Meghan and Harry stepped back from their royal duties in 2020 and now live in California with their two children. It’s unlikely that they will ever have a close relationship with the British royal family, but they seem to be happy with their new life.
