QUEEN ELIZABETH ‘SAW THROUGH MEGHAN EARLY’ AS FORMER STAFF CLAIM LATE MONARCH SPOTTED ‘NARCISSISTIC BEHAVIOUR’ BEFORE ROYAL FALL-OUT

Hardman: Queen Elizabeth II believed Meghan ‘exhibited narcissistic traits’
Queen Elizabeth II allegedly recognised troubling behaviour from Meghan Markle long before the public breakdown between the Sussexes and the Royal Family, according to sensational claims now being revived by former palace insiders.
The late monarch, renowned for her calm judgement and decades of experience dealing with world leaders, celebrities and family crises, is said to have quietly formed concerns about the Duchess of Sussex during her time inside royal circles.
Former staff members have claimed the Queen was “never easily misled” and had a sharp instinct for reading character behind polished appearances.
One source alleged: “Her Majesty had seen every type of personality imaginable over the years. She understood people quickly, and she rarely got it wrong.”
According to insiders, while the Queen remained publicly gracious toward Meghan, there were concerns in private about the speed of events, internal tensions and how palace staff were being affected.

The Duchess married Prince Harry in a glittering Windsor ceremony in 2018, with crowds cheering what many hoped would be a modern new chapter for the monarchy. But within two years, the couple stepped back from royal duties and relocated to California in a bombshell move that stunned the world.
Since then, relations between the Sussexes and the Firm have been repeatedly strained by TV interviews, documentaries and Harry’s memoir Spare.
Now, fresh claims suggest the Queen may have privately anticipated problems much earlier than many realised.

One former aide claimed: “She would never lash out or create drama. That was not her way. But she noticed patterns, and when something concerned her, she remembered it.”

Another added: “The Queen believed duty came first. Any behaviour that threatened harmony or stability would have stood out immediately.”
Critics of Meghan seized on the allegations, saying they supported long-running claims that palace tensions did not appear overnight. Supporters of the Duchess, however, dismissed the accusations as anonymous sniping aimed at damaging her reputation yet again.
Social media quickly erupted, with royal fans fiercely divided. One user wrote: “The Queen always knew.” Another countered: “Using her name to attack Meghan after her death is shameful.”
Buckingham Palace has never publicly commented in detail on many of the private disputes surrounding the Sussex years, and many claims remain impossible to independently verify.
Still, fascination with what the Queen truly thought about the family turmoil remains intense. Her reputation for discretion means much of her private thinking was never openly revealed.

Royal experts say that silence has created a vacuum now filled by leaks, interpretations and competing narratives.
What is beyond dispute is that Queen Elizabeth spent a lifetime protecting the institution she inherited at just 25. Any threat to its unity would likely have concerned her deeply.
Whether these latest claims are accurate or simply another chapter in the never-ending Sussex saga, they have reignited one of the monarchy’s most bitter debates.
And even after her passing, the Queen’s alleged view of Meghan still has the power to shake the royal world.
