Harry ‘rude’ to grandmother Queen Elizabeth II in 10-minute conversation
However, Meghan allegedly said that she and Harry didn’t want the queen’s favoured party planner, Lady Elizabeth, to take charge of their wedding.
Lady Elizabeth reportedly told Bedell Smith: “Harry wrote to me and said they were going another way. He said, ‘I am close to my grandmother, and she is content with this.’ When I spoke with the queen, she said she is not at all content.
“Meghan could turn into nothing but trouble. She sees things in a different way.”
Lady Elizabeth went on to say, according to Bedell Smith: “Harry has blown up his relationship with his grandmother. She said she was really upset. I was shocked when the queen told me this, how she was so saddened. I had no idea about the conversation, that he was rude to her for 10 minutes.”
Lady Elizabeth reportedly said the queen was “trying to find out about the wedding dress” over tea with the couple. However, Meghan “wouldn’t tell her”.
She also allegedly said that the queen, whom she nicknamed Jemima, was “very worried” over Harry and Meghan’s relationship.
They both didn’t believe that Meghan “is in love”. They thought Meghan had “engineered it all”.
Elsewhere, Lady Elizabeth also claimed that Meghan, William, and Kate were “not working well”.
