Royal Author Reveals Queen Elizabeth’s Thoughts on Meghan Markle’s Wedding Dress

In a recent book by Royal author Ingrid Seward, it has been unveiled that Queen Elizabeth had reservations about Meghan Markle's Givenchy wedding dress, considering it too white for someone with a previous marriage.

The royal wedding between Meghan and Prince Harry took place in Windsor on May 19th, 2018.

Despite the grandeur of the event, it was noted that Meghan had been previously married to Hollywood producer Trevor Engelson from 2011 to 2013.

Since Meghan's engagement to Prince Harry in 2017, comparisons have been drawn between her and Wallace Simpson, an American divorcee whose relationship with Edward VIII led to his abdication of the throne in 1936.

Miss Seward's book highlighted the late queen's initial fondness for Meghan, but Prince Philip, the late king's husband, advised caution due to the striking resemblance between Meghan and Edward's wife, even though Miss Simpson wore pale blue for her marriage to Edward in 1937.

While the late queen held Meghan in high regard, Lady Elizabeth Anson, one of her closest friends, revealed that Queen Elizabeth's only critique of Meghan's dress was its excessive whiteness.

According to Miss Seward's book, “My Mother and I,” the late monarch believed that a divorcee marrying in church should not appear overly virginal.

This sentiment was reflected in the late queen's discomfort with certain aspects of Meghan's wedding arrangements.

Before the wedding ceremony, it was decided that Prince Charles would accompany Meghan part of the way down the aisle in place of her absent father, Thomas Markle.

However, this arrangement did not entirely satisfy the late queen, who also expressed concerns about her husband walking without assistance so soon after hip surgery.

Despite her affection for her grandson, the late queen was hurt by Prince Harry's decision to step back from royal duties and relocate to the US, where he later criticized the royal institution in an interview with Oprah Winfrey.

In light of these developments, the late queen reportedly reached a point where she felt there was no use in worrying about Prince Harry's choices, as he seemed intent on prioritizing his wife's opinions above all else.

The comparison between Meghan and Wallace Simpson lingered in the background, with the author suggesting that the late queen might have seen parallels between the two controversial figures.

Adding to the intrigue, Royal Orthodontist Tom Bower's account revealed an incident where the late queen reprimanded Meghan for mistreating palace staff.

A former courtier's daughter shared insights on Tumblr, shedding light on Meghan's desires for extravagant jewelry pieces, including a ring featuring diamonds from the royal collection.

The queen's refusal to grant these requests reportedly led to tensions and disagreements.

The strained relationship between Meghan and the royal family extended to interactions with Earl Spencer, who declined requests to provide diamonds from the Spencer tiara for Meghan's use.

This discord was cited as a reason for his absence at certain events, emphasizing the complexities within the royal dynamics and the challenges faced by Meghan in navigating her role within the institution.
