Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, opened up about her relationship with Queen Elizabeth II just weeks after her death.
Meghan Markle said in an interview with Variety, “I’ve thought about how special that first official engagement I had with her felt. I consider myself lucky. And I’m still proud to have had a nice rapport with the family matriarch.”
The ‘Suits’ alum expressed her gratitude for being able to be with her husband, Prince Harry, to support him during Queen Elizabeth’s death.
“There has been a flood of love and support. I’m grateful that I was able to be there for my husband during that difficult time. What’s especially touching is his grandmother’s ability to leave a legacy on so many fronts. Certainly, she is the most illustrious example of female leadership “She explained.
She went on, “I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to spend time with her and get to know her. My husband, ever the optimist, said, ‘Now she’s reunited with her husband.'”
While this is Markle’s first public statement on the Queen’s death, she and Harry previously paid tribute to the longest-reigning British monarch by turning their Archewell website dark.
Meghan’s interview with Queen Elizabeth comes after several Royal experts speculated that she and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, could lose their Royal titles as a result of their Netflix docu-series.
On September 8, 2022, Queen Elizabeth passed away. Her age was 96.
