How Queen Elizabeth went from welcoming Meghan Markle to branding her ‘toxic’

The Queen is said to have been surprised by Markle’s behavior and approach to assimilating into the family, including her rejection of Elizabeth, which suggested that Prince Edward’s daughter Sophie could help her with royal duties.

Elizabeth was further baffled by Markle’s choice to wear white, as she had previously been married – and reportedly disapproved of the way Harry and the first To take star treated her friend and longtime dresser, Angela Kelly.

In his impressive memoir, Harry admitted he was tough on Kelly and recalled telling her during the tense speeches: “What Meghan wants, Meghan gets.”

He added a frustrated Kelly, “fixing me with a look that made me wince.”
