Having had the opportunity to rub shoulders with Queen Elizabeth II before her death, Meghan Markle notably spoke with her after she started dating Prince Harry. However, one of the actress’ responses left the monarch speechless.
Having become a full member of the British royal family when she married Prince Harry, Meghan Markle had the opportunity to meet Queen Elizabeth II in his lifetime. Before she left the UK to move to California with her husband and children, the actress had the opportunity to speak with the monarch of the United Kingdom. This is in any case what reveals the specialist of the British royal family, Robert Jobson, in his new book, baptized Our King (Notre roi, editor’s note), which is to be published next week across the Channel. However, several excerpts have already leaked in the English press.
As reported by the DailyMirror Saturday April 8, 2023, during an interview with Meghan Markle, shortly after the start of her romantic relationship with her grandson, Queen Elizabeth II was very surprised by one of the answers of the future mother of her great grandchildren Archie and Lilibet. In fact, the daughter of King George VI confided in Meghan Markle of her delight that Prince Harry had “finally found lover”. According to several sources quoted by Robert Jobson in his book, the Queen of England would then have advised the actress to spend time with Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, so that the latter can help him. That’s when Meghan Markle allegedly replied: “I have Harry“.
Elizabeth II: a record 70-year reign on the throne of the United Kingdom
For memory, Queen Elizabeth II died Thursday, September 8, 2023, at the age of 96. A disappearance which occurred only a few months after the sovereign of the United Kingdom celebrated her Platinum Jubilee. Having acceded to the throne of Great Britain following the death of his father in 1952, Elizabeth II was just 25 when she was crowned Queen of England. In total, his reign lasted no less than 70 years, which is a record in the history of the British monarchy. For his part, Charles III, who therefore had to wait until he was 73 to succeed his mother, will be officially crowned King of England in a ceremony scheduled for Saturday May 6, 2023 in London.
