Meghan Markle Accused of Using Prince Harry for Fame As Queen’s Confidante Confirms Long Standing Suspicions
A shocking royal revelation has reignited debate over Meghan Markle’s true intentions within the British royal family—and it’s coming from someone who once stood by Queen Elizabeth II’s side.
According to journalist and royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith, a close confidante of the late Queen, Lady Elizabeth Anson, shared damning views on the Duchess of Sussex. The statement has sent royal commentators into a frenzy and could offer insight into one of the most divisive chapters in royal history.
Speaking on the matter, a royal expert now claims this confirms what many suspected: Meghan Markle allegedly never intended to stay within the royal fold. Her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018 was viewed not as a lifetime commitment to royal duty—but rather as a launchpad for personal ambition.
“I think, unfortunately, that confirms what I’ve been saying or thought for the last few years,” the expert said, referencing Lady Elizabeth Anson’s view. “Sadly, Meghan never really had any intention of staying in the Royal Family.”
The expert continued, “She saw it as a stepping stone—getting married to Harry—to new fame and fortune.”
This explosive claim directly links back to growing whispers that Meghan Markle always saw the Royal Family as a stage rather than a lifelong duty. This sentiment has resurfaced just as interest in the Megxit saga remains high. Many royal fans—and critics—have long speculated that Meghan had ambitions far beyond palace walls.
Perhaps even more shocking is the claim that Prince William saw it coming from the very beginning.
“And I think that’s what initially Prince William was concerned about,” the source added. “And that’s why they fell out. And now we are where we are. But to have this confirmed by somebody so close to the Queen is… dynamite.”
The tension between the Prince of Wales and his younger brother has been a dominant storyline in recent British royal family news. This new revelation adds another layer of depth to the now-infamous family rift, hinting that William’s warnings may have gone unheeded at a crucial time.
While the Sussexes have maintained that their departure from royal duties was motivated by mental health challenges and media hostility, critics argue that Meghan’s move to California and rebranding efforts speak volumes.
Since stepping back, the couple has inked multi-million dollar deals with Netflix, Spotify (now ended), and other media entities, sparking accusations that they’ve monetized their royal connections. The term “Megxit”—coined in the wake of their dramatic exit—continues to dominate discussions on royal forums and Google Trends, as Meghan remains one of the most searched royals in the world.
Whether the public views her as a victim of royal rigidity or a master strategist remains a point of heated debate. But one thing is clear: Meghan Markle’s role in the royal family—and her decision to leave—has left an indelible mark.
This latest claim from someone so intimately connected to the Queen lends rare weight to the argument that Meghan’s royal stint was never intended to be permanent. And for many, that confirmation changes everything.
With each new revelation, the story of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal departure becomes less about misunderstandings and more about clashing values, ambition, and the ever-changing face of monarchy in the modern world. As the dust continues to settle on their royal exit, one can’t help but wonder: Was Prince William right all along.
