The surprising advice that Queen Elizabeth II gave to Meghan Markle

Away from the British Royal Family, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry continue with their lives in California. The couple, who in early 2023 generated a stir for their confessions about the crown in their Netflix docuseries, have been in a discreet background in recent months. Although the tension between the couple and the rest of the family has been totally palpable in recent months, the truth is that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex always maintained a great relationship with Elizabeth II, who died in September 2022. Now it has come out to light the advice that the sovereign gave to her grandson's wife.

"The queen was very kind to Meghan Markle. She even told her: 'You can continue acting if you want, continue your career,'" Paul Burrell, who was Princess Diana's butler, revealed in recent statements to the British press. It's no secret, Enrique and Meghan do not have a very close relationship with the rest of the family. In fact, this is one of the aspects that has focused the most attention in the press, and much has been said in recent years about Meghan's struggle to adapt to life as part of one of the most famous monarchies in the world.

However, Burrell assures that the family also made an effort to facilitate Meghan's personal and professional adaptation. Now, it has come to light that the late Queen Elizabeth II made a truly unusual proposal to the Suits actress. In her first meeting, back in 2016, the queen expressed her support for Meghan and her career as an actress. However, Markle chose not to continue her career in film and television.

"I don't see it as a renunciation of anything, I just see it as a change," expressed Prince Henry's wife at that time, who sought to be a support for her partner, son of Charles III and grandson of Elizabeth II. In fact, the late queen hoped that the couple would be an active part of the royal family. "It's amazing how much goodwill Meghan and Harry have wasted. I think that's why it was such a blow to Queen Elizabeth II when Harry stepped down from being part of the royal family; she didn't want him to leave," he says. now to the British press Paul Burrell.

In recent months, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made several headlines. Various media outlets have suggested that the couple is going through a marital crisis, however, their public appearances seem to prove otherwise. Enrique and Meghan traveled to Germany from September 7 to 17, where they had an appointment with the Invictus Games, founded by the son of Charles III. This year, they were held in Düsseldorf. As has been learned, this was not his only stop in Europe. Far from returning to Enrique's native country, the United Kingdom, the couple enjoyed a few days in Melides, a town in the Alentejo region (Portugal). Nothing suggests that there is a sentimental gap between them.
