梅根会见女王,哈里王子的婚事真要敲定了
Meghan Markle is said to have met the Queen at Buckingham Palace. Harry was introducing his girlfriend to the Queen. It happened on Thursday last week and inevitably it has set tongues wagging at the prospect of a royal engagement. Ever since Harry issued his edict about privacy 11 months ago when he felt the media were trampling over his romance, royal aides have been extremely cautious about commenting on his private life. But he desperately wanted his grandmother to meet Meghan and it would suggest that the couple are making plans for a future together. Everything about the teatime meeting was deliberately informal. In part it was to settle any nerves Meghan might have felt but also to ensure it was not widely publicised within the palace. After being driven in to the inner courtyard, the couple were said to have been whisked up to the Queen’s private sitting room. Insiders say that Harry had spoken to his grandmother during the summer asking to introduce Meghan. She has been a regular visitor to the Prince’s Kensington Palace home during the past year. According to an insider the couple arrived in time for tea at around 5pm. It is the Queen’s favourite part of the day and she loves it when her grandchildren are able to join her. It is said that Prince Charles was ‘very impressed’ when he met the actress-cum-activist earlier this year. The Duchess of Cornwall is said to have told a member of staff that Meghan was ‘a very nice girl and very pleasant’. The couple have certainly not followed the pattern of traditional royal romances. Just last month, Meghan took the highly unusual step of publicly declaring her love for Harry in an interview with the magazine Vanity Fair. ‘We’re a couple, we’re in love,’ she said candidly. No royal boyfriend or girlfriend has spoken so openly about their relationship. No wonder betting on an engagement has ended. ‘It is not a question of if but when,’ say friends. |
