It has been reported that the late Queen thought Meghan “applied herself pretty well” upon joining the Royal Family. Speaking of Gyles Brandreth’s new book, Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait, the Daily Mirror’s royal editor Russell Myers discussed the Queen’s reported initial thoughts on Meghan Markle.

Speaking on Australia’s Today Show, Mr Myers said: “It’s quite interesting.

“I know they had a spiky relationship [towards] the end but it wasn’t always the case.”

He added: “The Queen did really respect Meghan.

“She thought she’d come into a pretty difficult situation [and] she thought that she had applied herself pretty well.”

He also noted that the Queen did, however, have some reservations towards Meghan and Harry’s relationship.

Mr Myers continued: “I think, most interesting, one of the lines in this book is how the Queen thought Harry was, you know, in quotes ‘too much in love’.”

According to Tina Brown, Prince William, like a few members of the Royal Family, thought Harry was moving too fast in his relationship with Meghan.

The couple met in 2016, via friends, and got engaged at the end of 2017.

During the visit, which was Meghan’s first without Harry, the late monarch was spotted visibly laughing with her granddaughter-in-law.

In September 2022, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Meghan shared her experience of grieving the late monarch with Variety magazine.

In the interview, the 41-year-old shared that she experienced a “warmth” with the late Queen.
