Queen Elizabeth feared Prince Harry was too in love with Meghan Markle

According to an upcoming biography, Queen Elizabeth II thought grandson Prince Harry was “maybe a little overly in love” with his new bride Meghan Markle.

“At least that far she got – at least to my knowledge – to ever say a word against the new Duchess of Sussex,” British broadcaster Gyles Brandreth wrote in Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait.

The late British monarch was “really delighted” when her grandson said he would marry Markle, according to the book, which is due out in December.

“She liked Meghan and has told a lot of people. And she did everything to make her future daughter-in-law feel welcome,” reads the biography, an excerpt of which was published in the Daily Mail.

The Queen wasn’t even put off by the infamous Sussex interview with Oprah Winfrey.

“I can tell you, because I know that, that the Queen has always been more concerned with Harry’s well-being than with ‘that TV nonsense’, which was both the interview with Oprah Winfrey – which caused so much controversy – and the lucrative deal with the Sussexes meant done with Netflix,” wrote Brandreth, a former MP with long acquaintance with the royal family.

He wrote that the monarch was “very anxious for Harry to ‘find his feet’ and find ‘really useful things to do’ in California”. “

Brandreth also revealed in the book that he “had heard that the Queen had a form of myeloma — cancer of the bone marrow — which would explain her fatigue and weight loss and those ‘mobility issues’ we’ve been told about many times in the past year or so.” her life.”

The Queen died in September aged 96, the official cause of death being old age.
