Queen Elizabeth's childhood friend criticizes Meghan Markle: 'I feel very sad for Harry'
foxnews.comQueen Elizabeth's childhood friend Lady Anne Glenconner shared her opinion on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle amid their estrangement from the royal family after stepping down from their official roles in 2020.
The 91-year-old aristocrat was lady-in-waiting to Princess Margaret for three decades and served as a maid of honor at Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1953.
During a recent appearance on the "Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth" podcast, she recalled that she had known the 39-year-old Duke of Sussex from the time he was a child, describing him as a "lovely little boy." Glenconner went on to say that she believed that Markle, a former "Suits" star, thought that becoming a royal would be the same as life as a celebrity before she married Harry in May 2018. "I think the thing about Meghan was, she had no idea what was expected of her really," Glenconner said. "I think she just thought it was sort of like being another actress, you know.
Riding around in a golden coach and everything like that." She continued, "Actually, being a member of the royal family — a lot of it is extremely boring." "A lot of it is meeting hundreds of thousands of people you are never going to meet again – always trying to say something interesting and nice," Glenconner added. "I think it is very sad, and I feel very sad for Harry." The socialite recounted an alleged encounter that she had with John Kerry, the United States special presidential envoy for climate, at King Charles III's coronation in May.
