Queen's Distress Over Harry and Meghan Detailed

Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith and Queen Elizabeth II’s cousin, Lady Elizabeth Anson, have revealed that the late Queen harbored deep doubts about Meghan Markle prior to her marriage to Prince Harry, questioning Meghan's intentions and Harry's vulnerability. The Queen reportedly felt excluded and saddened by incidents of rudeness and secrecy during the couple's wedding preparations. Tensions escalated after Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties and gave their Oprah Winfrey interview, which insiders say the Queen saw as a 'final betrayal' and a major blow to the monarchy. Multiple sources indicate the Queen was deeply regretful and described the rift as a 'complete catastrophe,' spending her final years in sorrow over the situation. Contrary to Harry and Meghan's public statements of a warm relationship, the Queen's inner circle believed the fallout with the Sussexes irreparably damaged their ties to the royal family. The revelations portray a monarch left heartbroken by family discord and public controversy.
