Royal Family News: What Meghan Markle Said About Queen After Meeting Her Majesty

British royal family news reveals that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth died Thursday at her Balmoral estate at the age of 96. The nation is now in a ten-day mourning period and world leaders, dignitaries, and ordinary citizens have sent condolences to the royal family who are now gathered to await her funeral.

Today the William the Prince of Wales invited his reportedly estranged brother and his SIL Meghan Markle to join him with Princess Kate as they greeted the crowd at Windsor Castle. Reaching out was an extraordinary gesture given the way Meghan and Harry have trash talked his family over the last two years. Sadly, as if to interject a trickle of that venom, their pet reporter Omid Scobie complained that the invitation came, “at the 11th hour.”

Royal Family News – What Has Meghan Said?

Meghan married Prince Harry in 2018 and together they abandoned the monarchy in 2020. Here are the comments that Meghan has uttered about the late Queen Elizabeth.

In 2017, after Prince Harry proposed to Meghan, she said that it was “incredible” to meet the Queen Elizabeth. Later she would recall: “We had one of our first joint engagements together. She asked me to join her, and I went on the train. And we had breakfast together that morning and she gave me a beautiful gift and I just really loved being in her company, and I know we were in the car — Yeah, she gave me some beautiful pearl earrings and a matching necklace — and we were in the car going between engagements. And she has a blanket that sits across her, her knees, for warmth and it was chilly, and she was like, ‘Meghan, come on,’ and put it over my knees as well.”

We practiced and walked in. … I practiced very quickly and went in, and apparently, I did a very deep curtsey, and we just sat there and we chatted and it was lovely and easy and I think, thank God, I hadn’t known a lot about the family. Thank God, I hadn’t researched. I would have been so in my head about all of it.”
