Queen Elizabeth II

Following her 2018 marriage to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle was formally brought into the world of the British royal family, all its pageantry, protocols, and personal relationships. Royal analysts and commentators had a new factor to study within this enigmatic family. According to royal commentator and author Robert Jobson, things started out quite friendly between Meghan and Queen Elizabeth, to the point that the late monarch had given Meghan what she thought would be very valuable advice. Meghan Markle was not the first and only "commoner" to marry into the British royal family, and probably won't be the last. Kate Middleton worked in the fashion industry before marrying Prince William. It's a very different world, so that is why, reportedly, when Queen Elizabeth welcomed Meghan in, she did so while also advising Meghan on how to best learn the ropes and adjust. Here is what Jobson claims Elizabeth told her and how Meghan reportedly responded.
