The late Queen Elizabeth, known for her grace and composure, reportedly stunned attendees with a surprising comment about her granddaughter-in-law, Meghan Markle, just a month before her demise.
According to a source speaking to the Spectator, during a drinks reception at Balmoral in August 2022, the monarch allegedly labeled the Duchess of Sussex as “evil,” expressing regret over Prince Harry‘s decision to distance himself from royal responsibilities and relocate to California.
The revelation of the Queen’s uncharacteristic remark regarding Meghan left many astounded, considering the Queen’s reputation for forgiveness and understanding.
The source close to the royal family shared with the Spectator that the Queen’s comment caused quite a stir among those present, as it was unexpected for her to use such strong language to describe Meghan, whom she saw through despite her public persona.
At the intimate gathering preceding a dinner, the Queen reportedly opened up to a small group, expressing her view that Harry’s union with Meghan had led to unforeseen consequences, deeming it a “complete catastrophe” and referring to Meghan as “evil.”
The source noted the Queen’s visible health decline at that point, indicating that she harbored regrets about the unfolding events and their impact on the royal family.
The alleged shocking statement emerged following a series of serious allegations made by Harry and Meghan against the royal family, notably accusing them of racism concerning their son Archie‘s skin color during an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Meghan recounted distressing conversations during her pregnancy, where concerns were raised about Archie’s security, title, and the potential darkness of his skin upon birth.
Adding fuel to the fire, Prince Harry’s upcoming memoir, ‘Spare,’ reportedly contains further damning revelations about his family, including accounts of a physical altercation with his brother William and claims that his father, King Charles, failed to provide emotional support after Princess Diana‘s passing.
These disclosures have undoubtedly strained the already fragile relationship between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the rest of the royal family.
Despite the escalating tensions and controversies surrounding the royal family, Meghan maintains that she shared a warm and positive relationship with the late Queen Elizabeth.
Speaking to Oprah, she expressed her admiration for the Queen, describing her as welcoming, warm, and inviting, highlighting the moments of connection and camaraderie they shared during their time together.
