Renowned royal biographer, Ingrid Seward, has shed light on Meghan Markle's alleged tactic to garner support and favor from Queen Elizabeth II.
Seward, describing the Duchess of Sussex's demeanor and adeptness, portrayed Meghan as a shrewd individual skilled in the art of flattery.
"Meghan knew exactly how to butter up the Queen," remarked Seward, highlighting Meghan's proactive approach in maintaining communication with Her Majesty, a gesture not commonly observed among the monarch's own children.
During their engagement interview in November 2017, Prince Harry himself hinted at Meghan's rapport with the Queen's corgis, noting how they took an instant liking to her. Meghan, in turn, fondly recalled the dogs curling up at her feet during tea, a heartwarming scene that suggested her affable nature.
Seward speculated, "Maybe she had a few treats in her handbag for them," emphasizing Meghan's knack for endearing herself even to the Queen's beloved pets.
Reflecting on Meghan's unique relationship with the Queen, Seward highlighted the Duchess' proactive approach in maintaining contact, a trait less commonly observed among Her Majesty's children.
Despite limited interaction, Meghan's American background and proactive outreach likely endeared her to the Queen, especially after meeting Meghan's mother, a gesture that underscored Meghan's effort to forge a meaningful connection with the royal family.
