The Queen Consort is claimed to have became ‘suspicious’ of Meghan's intentions

Camilla gave Meghan Markle a nickname and thought she was “ungrateful” after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex left the Royal Family, a royal expert has claimed.

A royal biographer said that Camilla, Queen Consort branded Meghan “that minx” and remained “tight lipped” after she was brought into the Royal Family by her stepson.


The Duchess of Sussex and Camilla have reportedly never got along as the future Queen became “suspicious” of Meghan's intentions.

Harry and Meghan kept quiet following the Queen’s announcement that Camilla would be known as Queen Consort when Prince Charles becomes King.

And expert Tom Bower believes that their silence was “deliberate” and an “insult” to the Royal Family.

“Perhaps the Sussexes’ deafening silence is Meghan’s way of declaring war,” he told the Sun.

“It is believed that she has never liked Camilla, and I am sure the feelings are reciprocated.

“From the outset, Camilla was suspicious about the adventuress from Los Angeles.

“She found it hard to believe that Meghan would sacrifice her career and independence to serve silently as a team player devoted to the monarchy.

“But, as in all her conduct, Camilla remained tight-lipped.

"While watching Charles painfully believe that Harry was intent on publicly humiliating him, Camilla undoubtedly provided the comfort and good advice to reassure her husband that he had done the best he could.

“She could comfort him that while his authority is challenged by the Sussex’s, he would emerge victorious.

“During those inevitably endless, tortured and inconclusive conversations, Camilla is the sort who would refer to Meghan as ‘that minx’ — the self-seeking trouble- maker whose antics will always end in tears.”

Her Majesty, 95, said it was her “sincere wish” that the Duchess of Cornwall will be known as Queen Consort.

Charles and Camilla are thought to be “touched and honoured” at the decision that she will be Queen.
