While Meghan Markle hasn’t shied away from discussing her struggles to adjust to life as a member of the royal family, she’s always had kind things to say about Queen Elizabeth II.When news broke in November 2017 that Prince Harry had proposed to Meghan after more than one year of dating, the Suits alum told the press that it was “incredible” to meet the monarch.

When she married Harry in May 2018, the queen lent Meghan the Queen Mary’s stunning diamond bandeau to wear for the nuptials.Things took a turn, however, in 2020 when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their plans to stop working full-time for Queen Elizabeth.

The palace addressed their decision as a series of “complicated issues that will take time to work through” at the time. The queen then confirmed that the pair would no longer receive public funding and lose their HRH royal titles as they relocated to the United States.“Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much-loved members of the family.

I recognize the challenges they have experienced as a result of intense scrutiny over the last two years and support their wish for a more independent life,” the queen said in January 2020. “I want to thank them for all their dedicated work across this country, the Commonwealth and beyond, and am particularly proud of how Meghan has so quickly become one of the family.
