Meghan Markle was slammed by a royal historian for causing ‘unforgivable’ amounts of stress to the late Queen Elizabeth.

Meghan Markle has been criticised by a royal commentator who accused her of causing “unforgivable” stress to the late Queen Elizabeth and suggested her arrival to the Royal Family was the “biggest crisis” in the history of the Firm.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shocked the world back in 2020 when they announced their intentions to step down as working royals and move to the US.

Since their sensational departure, they’ve released a number of explosive claims about the royals through a series of interviews, their Netflix show Harry & Meghan, and Harry’s memoir, Spare.

And even though the late Queen died in September 2022 while the docuseries was released in December of the same year and Harry’s memoir in January 2023, the couple had already made several bombshell claims against the royals, including one of many during Oprah Winfrey’s infamous interview, when they alleged there was a “racist” in the Firm who commented on their son, Prince Archie’s skin colour.

These claims and their overall approach towards the royals were enough to cause an “unforgivable” amount of stress to the late Queen during the last few years of her life, according to royal historian and biographer Hugo Vickers.

Mr Vickers also suggested that Meghan Markle’s arrival could potentially end up being the “biggest royal crisis” in the history of the Firm – after the abdication of King Edward VIII and the tragic death of the late Princess Diana in 1997.

But he hinted that the full effects of the fallout of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s claims will be felt in the Firm for years to come.

He said: “I think it’s quite interesting all that because I was in Windsor the day they got married and the popularity and goodwill towards them was enormous.

“I don’t think it was the press, she succeeded in evading that very, very quickly.”
