It seems that Meghan's real motivations for pursuing the royal throne were not even shared by the Queen. It begs the question: Was Meghan's amiable relations with Queen Elizabeth II during their early public appearances a front?
Could it be possible that Prince Harry's American bride failed to win over his grandmother with her seemingly down-to-earth personality and their shared affection for dogs?
Leading up to their royal wedding on May 19th, Meghan, sometimes referred to as a bridezilla, was allegedly adamant about wearing a specific tiara from the Queen's collection. Reports suggest that her demands became so insistent that the Monarch had to step in and have a frank conversation with Harry.
The Queen expressed that Meghan couldn't simply have any tiara she desired, but she would be granted one by the Queen herself. Harry's reaction to this intervention was far from pleased, and he grew irritable. Prior to their royal wedding at Windsor Castle, Meghan and Harry were insistent on having some private time with the tiara. From the very beginning, it appeared that Meghan had a specific plan in mind—a plan that could potentially involve taking the crown.
Understandably, Palace staff may have been hesitant to leave Meghan alone with such a priceless asset, given her previous actions. One might speculate that Meghan was concocting a scheme, especially considering that she knew about the Queen's past actions regarding personal items that had gone missing.
It's worth noting that the Queen backed Paul Burrell over the items he borrowed from Princess Diana and intended to safeguard them for her sons, avoiding a public scandal. Knowing this, Meghan might have assumed she could make such a bold move without being accused of theft.
The story takes another turn with claims that Meghan was set on wearing a particular tiara featuring emeralds. A royal insider suggested that Meghan had chosen this emerald headpiece during a visit to Buckingham Palace. However, her choice was denied, which reportedly led to a heated exchange with Palace staff. This, in turn, prompted the Queen to intervene and have a word with Harry.
In addition to addressing the tiara issue, the Queen also advised Meghan on wearing a veil, considering it was her second marriage. The Queen's message was clear: Meghan needed to be more mindful of her interactions with staff and adhere to family protocol.
Interestingly, Meghan's treatment of Palace staff didn't just ruffle the Queen's feathers; it also caused tensions with Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, and her sister-in-law. The dynamics within the royal family appeared to be more complex than they appeared on the surface.
