‘He Blew It With Her’: Prince Harry’s Final Fallout With The Queen

Prince Harry’s bond with Queen Elizabeth reportedly deteriorated in the lead-up to his 2018 wedding, following a series of tense exchanges. Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith claims Harry was “rude” during a key meeting with the Queen about his nuptials. Further straining ties, Harry bypassed royal protocol by inviting the Archbishop to officiate without consulting the Dean of Windsor. The Queen was also unsettled by Meghan Markle’s refusal to share details about her wedding dress before the ceremony. According to Lady Elizabeth Anson, the Queen once quietly remarked, “We hope, but don’t think she’s in love.” A fragile truce was reached in April 2018, just before the wedding, after the Queen allegedly had to step in when Meghan was accused of berating a royal caterer.
