Overview

  • In early July 2025, multiple outlets reported Lady Elizabeth Anson’s posthumous interview for The Times detailing Queen Elizabeth II’s reservations about Meghan Markle ahead of the 2018 wedding.
  • Anson quotes the Queen as warning that Meghan “could turn into nothing but trouble” and suggesting she may have “engineered” her relationship with Prince Harry.
  • The Queen was dismayed when Harry asked the Archbishop of Canterbury to marry them at St George’s Chapel without first securing permission from the Dean of Windsor.
  • According to Anson, Elizabeth felt Harry had “blown his relationship” with her by overstepping protocol and was deeply saddened by the fallout.
  • The Sussexes have not publicly responded to the revelations, which have reignited debate over royal approval and family dynamics.
