Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, reportedly ignored Queen Elizabeth’s advice to seek support from a royal family member before her marriage to Prince Harry.
The late monarch is said to have advised Markle, 41, to speak to her daughter-in-law Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh 58, about marrying in to the royal family.
However it is claimed Markle rebuffed the suggestion.
According to Robert Jobson’s new book Our King: Charles III — The Man And The Monarch Revealed, Markle simply replied: “I’ve got Harry.”
Former PR executive Sophie tied the knot with Prince Edward in 1999. The Queen is said to have believed she could offer some tips for navigating royal life to former Suits actress Markle.
