Years after her death, Queen Elizabeth II's private remarks about Meghan Markle have surfaced, with sources claiming she called the relationship a 'complete catastrophe' and Meghan 'evil.'

Queen Elizabeth worried about Meghan Markle's relationship with Prince William and Princess Kate, her cousin said.

Royal insider Sally Bedell Smith published a statement by the queen's cousin, Lady Elizabeth Anson, in her Substack, Royal Extra on June 29, 2025. In the post, Anson reportedly told Bedell Smith the monarch had concerns about Harry and Meghan's marriage before the 2018 event took place.
