Meghan Markle Is Reportedly ‘Furious’ Over Royal Family Allegations That She Didn’t ‘Take Royal Life Seriously’

It was just a few weeks ago that the late Queen Elizabeth’s childhood friend, Lady Glenconner, slammed Meghan Markle on an episode of Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth podcast, saying Meghan most likely assumed that being a royal was simply “riding around in a golden coach.” Now sources close to the former royal are saying that Meghan is “furious” over these allegations, and that it’s “sparked a new war between Meghan and the royal family.”
Meghan Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, left their royal duties behind for California in 2020, and effectively burned bridges with the royal family through a host of scathing comments about them. From the pair’s 2021 interview with Oprah in which they accused the royal family of racism and mistreatment to Harry’s memoir, Spare, there doesn’t seem to be any reconciliation in the future, and Lady Glenconner’s recent comments seem to drive that sentiment home.
Lady Glenconner shares her thoughts on Meghan MarkleIn the October 19th episode of Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth podcast, Lady Glenconner, who was one of Queen Elizabeth’s maids of honor at her 1953 coronation, spoke on Meghan Markle’s brief time as a royal. “I think that the thing about Meghan was, she had no idea what was expected of her,” she explained. “She though it was sort of like being another actress, you know. Riding around in a golden coach and everything like that.”
She took it even further by saying that she “feels very sad for Harry,” effectively insinuating that she blames Meghan for the pair’s estrangement from the royal family. And she isn’t the only person to feel this way. The 91-year-old recalled that she spoke with former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry at King Charles’ coronation in May and asked him what Americans thought of the ex-royals. “We all feel very, very sorry for Harry,” Kerry reportedly said. “I think I can just leave it at that.”
