I have an extraordinary report to share regarding revelations from Sophie Wessex concerning incidents involving Meghan Markle and the lead-up to Queen Elizabeth's tragic passing.
As the world mourned the late Queen's death, united in an outpouring of appreciation for her lifetime of service and duty, it appears that troubles may have been brewing behind the palace walls in her final months. Sophie Wessex, known as one of Her Majesty's most trusted confidants, is bravely shedding light on these issues. Sophie's close bond with the Queen, forged through their shared commitment to charitable causes, has been a cornerstone of her behind-the-scenes support to the crown for decades.
It is through this trusted relationship that Sophie has now disclosed troubling details about encounters between Meghan and the frail Queen last spring. According to Sophie, the once amicable grandmother-granddaughter relationship had severely deteriorated. It began with Meghan demanding a more prominent role than Kate in the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, despite Kate's higher rank as the future Princess of Wales. The Queen, visibly upset, had to gently explain protocol to Meghan, who stormed off in a rage witnessed by staff. On another occasion, Meghan insisted that the Queen lobby American networks to give her preferred charity the same platform and deals extended to other royal foundations. When the Queen declined, citing interference in business matters, Meghan screamed that it could damage the Crown's brand.
Most concerningly, Sophie tearfully revealed that Meghan, in a heated phone call over these refusals, reportedly threatened the 96-year-old Monarch, saying, "You and Philip are the only ones standing in my way. If you won't help me, I'll ensure you'll never see your great-grandchildren again." While this allegation demands sensitivity, multiple Palace sources have backed up Sophie's account, painting a picture of an increasingly troubled Meghan grasping for more influence through the intimidation of an aging woman she once claimed to admire.
This context sheds light on why Her Majesty took the unprecedented step of stripping Meghan and Harry of their titles. While Meghan has been portrayed sympathetically in the media, her turbulent behavior had escalated to unacceptable levels even before exiting frontline duties. Meghan's supporters may cry resentment, but considering the Queen's confidence in Sophie and corroboration from trusted retainers, there is merit in soberly contemplating this account rather than reflexively dismissing it.
Sophie has politely refused to speak further out of respect for the royal family in mourning. By courageously raising these concerns when emotions have cooled, she has initiated an important process that history and the British public rightly deserve. It's an opportunity for positive growth if handled with care, wisdom, and consideration for all involved.
