The 96-year-old monarch reportedly made the comment on a private event that was not attended by Harry and his wife. 'It wasn't like the Queen to use that word,' admitted the source who broke the story.
Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022) would have expressed her dissatisfaction with her grandson Harry's relationship with his wife, Meghan Markle, in August last year, a month before her death.
The scene would have taken place during a private event at Balmoral Castle, in the United Kingdom, where the Sussex couple was not present. "At pre-dinner drinks, a small group was chatting with the monarch and she explained that Harry's encounter with Meghan had become a complete catastrophe and described her as mean," the contact said.
"Everyone's eyebrows hit the ceiling," the insider recalled when describing the astonished reaction to the comments. "It wasn't like the Queen to use a word like 'mean' to describe Meghan, but she saw right through her," the person reflected.
“It was an amazing sentence coming from the most merciful woman on Earth.”
The insider also suggested that the unfiltered comment by the monarch, who died aged 96, happened because "her health was in decline" and "she seemed regretful of how things had turned out".
Despite the surprise with the term used, it would not be surprising to deduce Elizabeth II's disaffection with Meghan, since Harry's wife had even public disagreements with most of the royal family, which culminated in the couple's departure from the United Kingdom in 2020 At the time, the former actress said she had suffered racism from an unnamed member of royalty.
Last year, biographer Tom Bower revealed that Elizabeth II celebrated Meghan's absence at the funeral of her husband Prince Philip. Even with all the suffering surrounding the death of her life partner, Elizabeth would not have failed to give her grandson's wife a nudge. “Thank God Meghan is not coming,” said the monarch. According to the tabloid, she released this pearl to her advisors present at the time.
Well, not for nothing, Meghan announced that she will not attend the coronation of King Charles III, which will take place on Saturday (6). Harry, the king's youngest son, will go alone while his wife will stay in the US for the birthday of Archie, the couple's eldest son, who will turn 4 on the same day.
