On Friday, the world commemorated a year since the passing of Her late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, and royal expert Ingrid Steward has claimed the monarch would likely have had very high hopes for the future of her granddaughter-in-law, Meghan Markle.

Speaking to The Mirror, Ingrid said The late Queen had aspirations for the Duchess of Sussex - who was recently was 'removed' from the Invictus Games schedule amid confusion - to work closely alongside Kate Middleton, wife of her other grandson, Prince William.

Discussing the Sussexes' role within the Royal family, which has seemingly altered since The Queen passed away last year, Ingrid says Prince Harry and Meghan were the "perfect foil" to the Prince and Princess of Wales. "Prince Harry’s place in the royal family has changed dramatically since the death of his grandmother and his father became King," she explained. "Instead of the prominent role, he would have had, Harry was relegated to the bottom of the royal list.

Almost but not quite an outsider." She continued: "The late Queen was deeply saddened when he and Meghan gave up their working roles within the family and left for California with her great grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet.The late Queen loved him.
