Prince Harry 'really upset' late Queen as new wedding bombshell revealed

Prince Harry is said to have "really upset" the late Queen Elizabeth II after he asked the Archbishop of Canterbury to perform the marriage service at St George's Chapel without first asking permission from the Dean of Windsor. Harry, 40, wed former US actress Meghan Markle, 43, in May 2018 - less than two years after their first date in London.

Lady Elizabeth, known to her friends as Liza, had previously met Meghan, whom she described as "full of charm". She previously said: "Harry has blown up his relationship with his grandmother.

"She said she was really upset. I was shocked when the Queen told me this, how she was so saddened. I had no idea about the conversation, that he was rude to her for 10 minutes."

Speaking to Ms Bedell Smith, Lady Elizabeth added: "Harry wrote to me and said they were going another way.

"He said, 'I am close to my grandmother, and she is content with this.' When I spoke with the Queen, she said she is not at all content."

She also added: "Meghan could turn into nothing but trouble. She sees things in a different way."

Amid fears that Meghan did not have the right intentions, Lady Elizabeth said of the late Queen, whom she referred to as Jemima: "The Number One Lady - I call her Jemima - says the jury is out on whether she likes Meghan. My Jemima is very worried. Harry is besotted and weak about women. We hope but don't quite think she is in love. We think she engineered it all."

This comes after reports that the late Queen met with Meghan and Harry the day before their wedding in Windsor.

Lady Elizabeth added: "They [Harry and Meghan] had tea with her the day before yesterday.

"She was trying to find out about the wedding dress, and Meghan wouldn't tell her."
