According to Royals at War, the Queen was Meghan’s biggest ally when she first entered the royal fold. However, powerful palace insiders allege that following Meghan and Prince Harry‘s decision to quit the monarchy, the relationship is strained.
Explosive revelations about the once-close relationship between the two women are contained in the new book from authors Dylan Howard and Andy Tillett. The author’s account reveals that when Meghan first stepped into royal life, the Queen sought to guide her in order to help ease into her into the new royal role.

In the book, Palace insiders give a tantalizing account of the unlikely friendship. One explains: “Her Majesty has seen it all and could offer [Meghan] some helpful advice. Meghan would do well to nurture that relationship and pop over for occasional cup of tea with the Queen. Meghan doesn’t need an invitation.”
The author’s research reveals how the dutiful monarch helped Meghan negotiate her way through the mind-boggling etiquette and expectations of prospective royal consorts. Mindful of past scandals involving her son’s wives and lovers, the Queen loaned Meghan one of her own trusted aides and ensured she escorted the actress when she went on her first public engagement after her May 2018 marriage to Prince Harry.
But her insistence on carving her own way eventually meant that relationships between the actress and the monarch soured. While the Queen tried to be understanding, Harry and Meghan’s much-publicized departure from the UK to start a new life in the US was seen by many as the final betrayal.
One insider told the authors: “The Queen had been supportive. At the end of the HRH is a reasonable woman and accepts that marrying into the Royal Family isn’t easy and mistakes are going to be made.” The book, to be released by Skyhorse Publishing on June 30, is bound to cast new controversy on the biggest royal scandal of the century.
