Queen Elizabeth II Keeps Mum on Harry's Wife, Confides Only in Closest Allies
During their inaugural encounter at Buckingham Palace over tea, Queen Elizabeth II not only expressed fondness for Meghan Markle but also harbored high hopes for the American actress's potential contributions alongside Harry to the Commonwealth's youth.
While the nation embraced Meghan warmly, Prince Philip stood out as a stark exception, cautioning his wife to tread carefully due to Meghan's perceived resemblance to the Duchess of Windsor.
His critique extended beyond physical traits, delving into historical complexities surrounding the royal family's rift caused by Edward VIII's marriage to Wallis Simpson.
Despite Prince Philip's reservations, Queen Elizabeth II maintained silence regarding her true sentiments about Harry's spouse, confiding only in trusted confidantes like Lady Elizabeth Anson, known affectionately as Liza, who conversed with the monarch daily.
According to Lady Elizabeth, the Queen's sole commentary on Meghan and Harry’s nuptials centered on the bride's Givenchy gown, which she deemed 'too white'.
