Prince Philip’s Cautious Warning Regarding Meghan Markle to Late Queen

At the onset of Meghan Markle's relationship with Prince Harry, the late Queen held optimistic expectations, contrasting her husband Prince Philip's apprehensions.

According to a royal expert, Prince Philip harbored reservations about Meghan Markle's introduction into the royal sphere and voiced his concerns to the monarch.

While Queen Elizabeth II initially embraced the prospect of Harry's future spouse, Prince Philip, who passed away in 2021, exhibited wariness towards the former ‘Suits' actress and noted similarities with Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee who wed into the British Royal family.

Ingrid Seward, a royal author, disclosed in her book ‘My Mother and I' that while Meghan garnered widespread adoration, Prince Philip maintained a level of caution.

Despite the Queen's support for Harry's new partner, Prince Philip advised vigilance.

The Queen comprehended Philip's comparisons between Meghan and Wallis, later reflecting that Harry might have been excessively enamored with the American actress.

Notably, Prince Philip devised a moniker for Meghan, drawing parallels to Wallis, yet refrained from disclosing it directly to her.

During an interview with GB News, Ingrid Seward highlighted Philip's astuteness in recognizing resemblances between Meghan and historical figures, emphasizing that he discreetly labeled Meghan as ‘The Duchess of Windsor.'

Following their departure from royal duties in January 2020, Meghan and Harry relocated to California, where they currently reside with their children.

While Harry plans to return to the UK for the Invictus Games' 10th anniversary, Meghan is anticipated to remain in the US due to security concerns and a desire to evade potential controversies associated with visiting the UK.

Meghan has made scarce visits to the UK post their royal exit, notably attending Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in 2022 but missing King Charles III's coronation last year, which Harry attended solo.

Speculation arose regarding Meghan's reluctance to visit the UK again, with former royal correspondent Charles Rae expressing skepticism about her intentions and understanding of the royal hierarchy.

Commenting on rumors of Meghan accompanying Harry on his UK trip, British commentator Esther Krakue suggested that Meghan's avoidance of the UK stems from a disinterest in engaging with potential drama and social interactions within the royal family circle, hinting at a deliberate detachment from such engagements.
