‘Upset' Queen's cutting remark about Meghan & Harry's wedding ‘revealed' – and what she REALLY thought about guest list
THE late Queen was "upset"' at Meghan Markle's plans for her and Harry's wedding at Windsor Castle, a close friend of her cousin has claimed. Queen Elizabeth II is said to have been unhappy with the couple's guest list for the event and the pair inviting "random" celebrities instead of family members. Advertisement 5 Queen Elizabeth the II was reportedly left 'annoyed' by the Sussex's behaviour Credit: AFP 5 Harry and Meghan invited celebrities to their wedding who barely knew the Royal Family Credit: Reuters Sally Bedell Smith, a royal biographer, said the queen was left exasperated by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's plans. The late Queen reportedly said: "But it's my house - and I'm paying for it" when confronted with the plans for the Windsor Castle event. She was also said to have been "annoyed" when the pair went directly to the Archbishop of Canterbury to ask him to marry them in St George's Chapel in May 2018. Harry's grandmother was more excited about Princess Eugenie's wedding in October that year, according to the Daily Mail. Advertisement Ms Bedell Smith claims that Meghan then announced her pregnancy on the same day and then went on to say that the timing of the announcement had been "rude." She spoke at length with the late Queen's cousin, Lady Elizabeth Anson, who in turn spoke with the late Queen towards the end of her life. Lady Anson was born in Windsor Castle and was a great-niece of the Queen Mother and a goddaughter of King George VI. She was a party planner and was known as Liza to close friends and family. Advertisement Bedall Smith claimed in a new podcast that the late queen was upset about her lack of involvement in the Sussex's wedding planning. Harry and Meghan made the Queen's last years a complete misery - they'll NEVER be forgiven Lady Anson made an attempt to console her by telling her she could look forward to the Royal Ascot and Princess Eugenie's wedding. Despite her first cousin's best efforts her majesty remained upset. The Royal Family paid for the Sussex's wedding, covering the cost of the service, music, flowers and reception. Advertisement There were 600 guests invited to a lunchtime reception at St George's Hall which was hosted by the Queen. The reception was then followed by an evening bash for 200 VIPs at Frogmore House, hosted by Harry's father. 5 Harry and Meghan married in May 2018 Credit: PA 5 The couple reportedly had a preference to invite celebrities over members of the family Credit: AFP Advertisement 5 Meghan announced her pregnancy shortly after her wedding Credit: Reuters Claims were made today however that Harry and Meghan had invited people who barely knew the Royal Family. Sally Bedell Smith told American royal commentator Kinsey Schofield: "Harry and Meghan just disinvited or didn't invite a whole group of family and cousins. "The children of the Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and of the Gloucesters. Advertisement "She [Meghan] and Harry just 'exed' them out of the guest list and they added all these other random people who barely even knew the Royal Family. "That was just yet another irritation for the Queen." Ms Bedell Smith revealed earlier this year what the late Queen's real thoughts on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their behaviour were. She said that as the wedding approached the queen began to feel "very worried" privately. Advertisement According to Bedell Smith concerns were raised that Harry was 'Besotted and weak about women." Lady Anson reportedly told Bedell Smith about Meghan: "We hope but don't quite think she is in love. We think she engineered it all.' The Sussex's married in May 2018 and Meghan threw herself into royal duties before falling pregnant. Sally Bedell Smith wrote on her Substack: "By late February 2019 when Lady Anson and I spoke on the phone, she said 'I don't trust Meghan an inch. To begin with, she was not bad—a straightforward starlet, used to public speaking and charity work. The wedge between the brothers is really too bad.'" Advertisement Lady Anson, who worked as a party planner for elites celebrities and royals, tragically passed away in 2020. The queen made her a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order for her outstanding personal service to a British monarch. The Sun has contacted the Sussexes for comment.

Oasis fans worried over tickets amid rise in scam sales
Anxious Oasis fans are worried their tickets are fake amid a rise in scammers ahead of the band's sold-out shows in Edinburgh. The Gallagher brothers will make their highly anticipated return to Scotland when they kick off their three sold-out shows at Murrayfield on Friday. However, as the concert nears, fans with and without tickets are concerned about falling victim to scams. Some fans, like Skye, say there's still uncertainty about whether they'll actually get to see the band despite paying for a ticket. 'We didn't get tickets in the original ballot. Eventually, my kids clubbed together they managed to get us two tickets, but they did have to get them off one of the unofficial resale platforms, and we're still dubious,' she told STV News. She added that her tickets have come through, but she has concerns over whether they are legit. 'You hear about people not getting in with them, so we're trying to remain optimistic and positive.' Newlyweds Laura and Rachel opted for tickets halfway across the world, instead of risking getting scammed here. The couple tried to get tickets in the UK and America before they managed to secure them for the shows down under. 'We entered all the ballots for all the presales for the UK, tried on the day and were like 80,000 in the queue, and then we tried for America because that came out next, and we didn't get anywhere, and then we got presale access for Australia,' the couple said. 'We were planning to go anyway, to Australia this year, so it just kind of solidified our decision.' They added: 'It was probably the most difficult concert I've ever had to try and get a ticket for because you don't know if you're buying your tickets off those sites if you're actually even going to get your tickets.' Scammers are also finding new ways to gain customers' trust outside of ticket-selling sites. Kevin Robertson, chief technology officer at Acumen Cyber, said private groups on sites WhatsApp and Facebook are potentially the 'most dangerous' place for scams. He added: 'We've had reports of things like nursery groups and school groups, people gaining access to those or private neighbourhood groups, that kind of thing, so all of a sudden these people are in these groups and they've almost got an established level of trust already, how else would they get access to that group without being invited? So that's the problem, you need to really not trust anybody unless you know them very well.'
