Royal Family Live: How Harry ‘ruined relationship’ with the late Queen Royal | news
Reports reveal that Queen Elizabeth II “felt very detached” from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding planning, an early sign of tension between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family.
The late queen reportedly told close friend and confidante Lady Elizabeth “Lisa” Anson that Meghan rejected her attempts to contribute to the big day and insisted that Harry needed to be present for any wedding planning.
Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith made the claims in a Substack post.
alleging that Harry even ignored his grandmother asking him to serve the Archbishop of Canterbury, leaving her “really upset”.
Lady Anson told Ms Smith, “Harry has exposed his relationship with his grandmother. He said she was really upset. I was shocked when the Queen told me her feelings, at how upset she was. I had no idea about the conversation, that he was abusive to her for 10 minutes.”
Ms Smith said the Queen felt so “dismissed” about Meghan’s preparations for the wedding that Harry compromised by “writing her a letter explaining everything that was happening” a few days before the service.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been contacted for comment.
