In a bombshell claim, an insider linked to the Royal Family alleges Queen Elizabeth II labelled Meghan Markle as “evil” in the weeks leading up to her death.

It’s been alleged by someone close to the royals that the late sovereign “saw through” Meghan, who married into the family back in 2018. This alleged slip from the Queen came during heightened tensions between Harry’s wife Meghan and the Palace.

This revelation came after the Sussexes suggested they faced racism from within the firm, reports OK!. The Spectator was told by a mole that bystanders were gobsmacked when the Queen reportedly made the disparaging remark regarding Meghan.

According to the Express, the informant stated: “It was out of character for the Queen to use such a word as ‘evil’ to describe Meghan, but she saw straight through her. It was a startling sentence to hear from the most forgiving woman on earth.”

The source continued, detailing the event at Balmoral: “At the drinks before the dinner, a small group were talking to the monarch and she explained that Harry meeting Meghan had become a complete catastrophe and described her as ‘evil’. It was clear that the Queen’s health was failing and she didn’t have long left; she appeared to be filled with regret over how things had turned out.”
