Queen’s uncharacteristically damning verdict on Meghan: Balmoral guest claims the late monarch ‘raised eyebrows’ with her remarks on Harry and his wife – a month before she died

‘My Jemima is very worried’, Liza apparently added.
Ingrid Seward, one of the most prominent and respected writers on the British Royal Family, also discussed the nuptials in her book, My Mother and I.
The royal biographer wrote: ‘The Queen never voiced her true opinions except to her close confidants, such as Lady Elizabeth Anson, or Liza as she was known to her friends.
‘She told me that the Queen had made only one remark about Meghan and Harry’s wedding and that was that Meghan’s Givenchy wedding gown was “too white”.’

‘In the monarch’s view, it was not appropriate for a divorcee getting remarried in church to look quite so flamboyantly virginal,’ Seward added.
Meghan had previously been married to Hollywood film producer Trevor Engelson between 2011 and 2014.
Traditionally, divorcee brides are expected to forgo a white dress and opt for a different colour.

When Harry and Meghan announced their plans to step down as working royals in 2020 the Queen tried to find a compromise to stop ‘Megxit’.

The Sussexes claimed their decision to ‘step back as senior members’ was to become more financially independent and to enjoy privacy from the prying eyes of the media.
At the time it seemed plausible that these wishes could be fulfilled alongside an agreement to represent the Crown at a select number of events every year.
