REAL reason the Queen banned talks on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry revealed

The Queen allegedly asked people she is spending time with not to make any mention of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry when in her presence. But rather than the monarch snubbing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, commentator Ryan Phelan suggested the monarch’s love for her family spurred the decision. Speaking to Sunrise, Mr Phelan said: “I’ve seen a lot of, for instance, sporting parents that I think do grow tired when they got three children but one’s made it, they are famous in the paper.

“They constantly get asked about one child and it feels like the others don’t ever get referenced.

“I understand, she has a large number of kids and grandkids who she is probably very proud of as well.

“She would rather talk about them than just Harry and Meghan all the time.”

The Queen and Prince Philip have four children, eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren but Prince Harry has been the subject of much public scrutiny since his lavish wedding with former actress Meghan Markle last year.

Leading royal expert Quentin Letts last week suggested royal guests have been advised to stay away from talks of Meghan and Harry as the Queen “does not want to talk about the Sussexes.”

Mr Letts tweeted: “Friend of an acquaintance was about to go riding with HMQ.

“Was given v firm advice ‘Talk about anything except one subject.’ Brexit? ‘No, The Sussexes.'”

But rather than too much talk about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, some royal commentators suggested the monarch wants to avoid talks about the pair as she is “disappointed” about their conduct as representatives of the Royal Family.

The ban claim comes after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle failed to travel to Balmoral with their son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor to spend time with the Queen during her summer holidays.

The couple is believed to have refused an invitation so that the Duchess could jet off to New York to cheer on friend Serena Williams during the US Open finals earlier this month.

Meghan and Harry’s PR choices have come under intense scrutiny in recent months after they chose US political PR guru Sara Latham to work as their new top press secretary.

The Sussex household repeatedly faced criticism over their PR handling of key events, such as baby Archie’s arrival in May, and christening in July.

Furthermore, claims of a feud between Meghan and Harry, and Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge were rife earlier this year, with the relocation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from Kensington Palace to Windsor’s Frogmore Cottage spinning the rumour mill further.

Commentators interpreted the Queen’s insistence that Harry and Meghan establish their official offices at Buckingham Palace under Her Majesty, rather than separately at Frogmore, as a move to prevent further divisions within the Royal Family.

The couple later also split from The Royal Foundation, the charitable foundation Harry set up with brother William, to create their own organisation.

Prince Harry earlier this month launched the charity’s first project, Travalyst, a green travel initiative.
