Fans are curious about the dynamic between Meghan Markle and Camilla, as they question why Queen Camilla would entertain the idea of Prince Harry remarrying while Meghan is still alive.Since her introduction into the royal family in 2017, reports about Meghan Markle’s relationships with her British in-laws have been widely circulated, though few have ever been confirmed.

One member of the monarchy who has been the subject of a number of stories in relation to the duchess is her stepmother-in-law, Queen Camilla.From allegations that she made an insensitive joke about the hair texture of Meghan and Harry’s future children to reports that she assigned Meghan a crude nickname after splitting from the monarchy, Camilla has been the focus of a number of speculative Meghan-related stories.

While reports of this kind are plentiful, what Camilla has said on the record about Meghan amounts to very little. However, the commentary the queen has made has marked milestone moments in the duchess’ royal story.,Here, Newsweek looks at everything Queen Camilla has said about Meghan Markle on the record.

Prince Harry introduced Meghan Markle to Queen Camilla at the same time he introduced her to his father, King Charles, in the early stages of their relationship.In his memoir, Spare, Harry recounted that his relationship with his stepmother had always been distant, and at the Clarence House introduction to his new girlfriend, he told Meghan not to curtsy to the then-future queen.

The prince told readers that the first meeting went well, with the animal-loving Camilla being touched by Meghan’s description of her rescue dogs, Guy and Bogart.

Harry revealed little else about Meghan’s relationship with his stepmother in his book, however, he did reference Meghan’s reaching out to Camilla when she began to struggle with negative tabloid reporting.

“Meg, meanwhile, reached out to Camilla, who tried to counsel her by saying this was just what the press always did to newcomers, that it would all pass in due time, that Camilla had been the bad guy once,” he wrote, alluding to the unhelpfulness of the advice given.,Meghan did not comment about Camilla in her interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021 or the Sussex’s Netflix docuseries in 2022.

The duchess and queen were last photographed together at the state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022. Meghan did not attend Charles and Camilla’s coronation celebrations in May.
