When news broke out about Prince Harry tying the knot to Meghan Markle, a number of eyebrows were raised by quite a lot of people.
And now, reports have come to surface claiming that Prince Charles too had foreseen a number of problems taking place because of the addition of another ‘strong’ woman into the family.
As per Nigel Cawthorne, writer of Prince Andrew, Epstein and the Palace, Charles was fretting over the fact that the family would not be able to give space to more than one strong woman.
“I think he likes strong women, but in The Firm there is only room for one Queen,” Cawthorne said speaking to Fabulous.
“I think he foresaw considerable problems ahead for The Firm,” he added.
“For the sake of The Firm he will feel this outcome is better that the monarchy is small in size rather than a constellation of stars in separate orbits.”
According to palace sources, Meghan had become close to her father-in-law as they occasionally found themselves engrossed in conversations about art, culture and history.
Moreover, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s exit has led to numerous reports surfacing about how the latter was not discriminated against by the royal family.
However, now startling new claims have emerged that are poles apart from the existing perception about the royals’ relationship with Meghan.
According to the Daily Star, the family had done all they could to make the former actor feel welcome in her new surroundings and was even given more privileges than Kate Middleton. Royal author Lady Colin Campbell while talking to the outlet said that Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles and the rest of the family tried their best to embrace Meghan.
“I have to tell you, the royal family did go out of their way to welcome and embrace Meghan. The royal family went out of their way to embrace her in a way that they have never gone out of their way to embrace anybody else,” she said.
It was also pointed out that Meghan was given a huge privilege by the monarch long before Kate who has been in the family for over nine years now.
The Duchess of Sussex joined Her Majesty for a joint engagement only a month after she married into the family, a perk that Kate wasn’t bestowed with until 2019.
Campbell further said that the Queen became a fan of Meghan because she has a “very dominant personality and is someone who has never been shy of walking into a room and taking control of it.”—AP
