The Queen And Meghan’s Relationship
“The Queen last year in the first few months of Meghan’s entry into the royal family, made a particular and slightly unusual effort to welcome her in,” he explained. “Unusual in the context of the trip on the royal train to do a royal engagement. I’m 99 per cent sure she’s never afforded that offer to Kate.”
Larcombe also says that the Queen “obviously requested” Meghan’s presence to “signal the fact that she was welcoming her into the royal family.”
Harry And Meghan’s Fast Romance
Larcombe also points out that with Kate Middleton, the public had the opportunity to get to know her because it took Prince William eight years before he decided that he wanted to marry her. With Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, things moved on pretty quickly. The couple met in 2016, got engaged in 2017, married in 2018 and welcomed their first child just a few short months ago. Not only is this a lot to process for a new couple, but for the public as well as Meghan was virtually unknown before she began dating Harry.
“Possibly because Meghan very much burst onto the scene in a way Kate obviously didn’t. Everyone got to know Kate and the family long before they got engaged,” Larcombe continued. “Also possibly because of the lessons of the past where Princess Diana pretty much felt like an outsider in the royal family.”
What’s Next For Meghan?
So far it appears as though Meghan Markle has taken on her new role as a member of the royal family with ease, thanks to the support of her husband Prince Harry and of course, the Queen and the rest of the family. Of course, what will happen in the future remains to be seen. But for now it’s safe to say that the Duchess of Sussex is definitely a quick learner.
