Meghan Markle received a rare honuor from King Charles, who was then a prince, prior to her withdrawal from royal duties., a royal expert has claimed.
Michael Cole, former BBC royal correspondent, discussed the latest challenges facing the Sussexes with Nana Akua on GBN America.
Exploring where it all went “so badly wrong” for the Duchess of Sussex, Cole admitted that puzzling it all together is “really hard”.
He touched on Meghan’s fraught relations with her own family and the fact her father, Thomas, is “estranged” from her.
“It’s really hard to puzzle where it all went so badly wrong”, he said on GBN America.
“She could not have been welcomed more into this country or the Royal Family.
“It was a rare honour when the King offered to walk her down the aisle because her own father, Thomas, is estranged from her, as are most members of her family.
“That was a great honour, and the late Queen went out of her way to make a friend of Doria, her mother.”
Since stepping away from royal duties and jetting off to America in 2020, Meghan’s appearances in the UK have been few and far between.
The duchess has long criticised her royal treatment and Harry made his own qualms clear in his memoir, Spare, where he laid blame at the door of Prince William and Princess Kate for the apparent frosty reception afforded to Meghan.
Meanwhile Prince Harry prepares to return to the UK for a significant celebration next week.
This visit marks Harry’s return to commemorate 10 years of the Invictus Games, and it will be his first time back in the UK since Kate emotionally announced in a video message to the nation that she had been diagnosed with cancer and started preventive chemotherapy.
