Meghan Markle ‘berated' wedding caterer so aggressively Queen Elizabeth had to step in

Sky News AU19-05-2025

A royal biographer has alleged Meghan Markle 'berated' her wedding caterer so harshly that the late Queen Elizabeth had to step in.
Royal biographer Katie Nicholl claimed the Duchess of Sussex had a tense exchange with her caterer leading up to her wedding with Prince Harry.
Nicholl's claim about the Duchess of Sussex came in her book 'The New Royals', per the Daily Mail.
'On one occasion in the run-up to the wedding, Meghan went to Windsor Castle for a menu tasting and ended up having a tense exchange with a member of staff,' Nicholl wrote.
A source told Nicholl that the tense exchange came when the duchess said 'she could taste egg' when tasting some of the dishes.
'Meghan was at the castle to taste some of the dishes, and told one of the caterers she could taste egg,' the source revealed.
'She got quite upset, saying that the dish was meant to be vegan and macrobiotic.'
According to the source, Markle's behaviour towards the caterer was so bad that the late Queen Elizabeth had to intervene.
'Suddenly, the Queen walked in and said: 'Meghan, in this family we don't speak to people like that,'' the source said.

Meghan confirmed for upcoming royal clash

Don't miss out on the headlines from Royals. Followed categories will be added to My News. IN LONDON Meghan has been confirmed as a guest of honour at a glitzy, black-tie event in Los Angeles as her husband's family steps out for one of the biggest days on the royal calendar. There will once again be a Sussex/royal diary clash on Saturday as the duchess attends the Museum of Natural History's Night of Wonder gala on the same day as Trooping the Colour, the King's official birthday celebrations, take place in London. Meghan will be honoured for her charity work and give a speech at the star-studded event, which is focusing on advancing community wellbeing and increasing opportunities for the disadvantaged. It's not yet been made clear whether Prince Harry will also attend. Harry and Meghan at Beyoncé's LA concert last month.

It's expected that Prince William, Kate, the Princess of Wales, and their three children – Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince George, 6 – will join the King and Queen and other senior royals for the occasion, which draws a crowd of thousands to The Mall.

Picture: Henry Nicholls/AFP The latest schedule clash comes after Harry popped up in China last month to deliver a keynote speech at a sustainable travel forum on the same day as his father and stepmother's high-profile whistlestop tour of Canada kicked off. It's understood the relationship between the Duke of Sussex and his family are at an all-time-low, with Harry even giving a no-holds-barred interview with the BBC in early May. In it, he revealed the King no longer takes his calls, that he doesn't know 'how long he has left' amid his cancer battle, and then asked his family for 'reconciliation'. Meghan divided opinion with the release of a video of her and Harry dancing in a birthing suite. Picture: Instagram Meanwhile, news of Meghan's outing this weekend comes just days after she divided followers with the release of a throwback video in honour of her and Harry's daughter's fourth birthday, which featured the pair of them taking part in a viral TikTok dance challenge in the birthing suite on the day she was born. 'Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates … so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work – there was only one thing left to do!' she captioned the video of the couple dancing to the 'Baby Mama Dance Song'. While it appeared to be designed as a relatable moment, it didn't quite land with a lot of her followers, who branded it 'peak cringe'.

‘Burn these pants': Queen Mary of Denmark makes rare fashion faux pas in bizarre culottes ensemble

Denmark's Queen Mary has made a rare fashion misstep after arriving to a major engagement in Copenhagen wearing a pair of linen culottes. Last week, Mary stepped out in a grey jacket and matching culottes by Danish designer Mark Kenly Domino Tan. The Hobart-native appeared to blend her Danish and Aussie identities by pairing the bold look with a woven two-tone belt by Aussie label Zimmerman. Mary, 53, completed the risk-taking look with light brown suede heels from Gianvito Rossi. The Aussie-born royal made the daring sartorial choice while attending – ironically - the Global Fashion Summit at Copenhagen's DR Concert Hall. Eagle-eyed fans quickly honed in on the awkward length of the culottes, as well as the unmissable wrinkles on the fussy material. 'Not one of her finest choices. Look at all the wrinkles in that material!" one royal watcher wrote via the Daily Mail. 'Queen Mary, burn these pants. Lovely jacket, lovely belt, but please, please, please burn the pants,' added a second style commenter. 'Missed the mark this time. Outfit makes her look stocky and crinkled,' said a third. 'The outfit looks too messy and wrinkled, and that mousy grey isn't helping either,' another fashion fan said. 'This was indeed rare miss for Mary.' Mary's bold look marked the second time she had worn the polarising culottes after previously debuting the pants during her recent state visit to France with King Frederik. In Paris, Mary paired the grey two-piece look with Aquazzura over-the-knee stiletto boots, a high neck black top and a delightful brooch pinned to the jacket. At the time, Vogue Scandinavia diplomatically called the culottes 'slightly edgier' than the popular royal's usual style.

Meghan Markle's lucrative new business move revealed

Meghan Markle is planning to add hotels and restaurants to her growing business empire after trademarking it for 'hospitality services'. The Duchess of Sussex is expanding her lifestyle brand, As Ever, to include places to stay, 'provision of food and drink' and temporary lodgings, according to The Sun. The former actress could serve some of her own food ­creations — including recipes flaunted on her Netflix series 'With Love, Meghan'. Experts say it showed the 43-year-old royal's ambition to move forward and focus on the future, while husband Prince Harry, 40, seems stuck reflecting on the past. The 'Suits' alum has spent the year rebranding herself away from ­runaway royal to a lifestyle, entertaining and star hostess. Brand experts said hotels and restaurants fit in with her lifestyle business image. RELATED:'Misfit': Neighbours unleash on Meghan Insane amount Meghan, Harry pay staff Staggering fortune Harry, Meghan lost exposed In the first episode of her eight-part TV series released in March, Meghan said: 'When I have someone stay, one of my favourite things to do is prep the guest room'. A second series has already been filmed and will be released in the autumn. Her lifestyle brand's website says: 'As Ever is more than a brand — it's a love language. ­ 'Created by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, As Ever welcomes you to a collection of products, each inspired by her long-lasting love of cooking, entertaining and hostessing.' On Saturday, her As Ever page posted a new picture of her running through the sea in a white dress. It was captioned: 'So excited for all the good to come! 'Running into the weekend like', with an ocean wave emoji added. 'CALIFORNIAN ROYALTY' Meghan's As Ever Instagram page launched in February. Posts include pictures of her gardening, preparing fresh fruit and baking. PR and branding expert Jack Izzard, of Gallia Communications, said of her trademark application: 'In terms of positioning, it's not a million miles from where As Ever is. 'She is very much positioning herself as a star hostess, Californian royalty who makes her guests feel welcome. 'The issue she's potentially going to have is that's a completely different skill set, running a hospitality business. 'A night in an As Ever B&B will be several hundred pounds. That's really going to blow up if it's bad.' Mr Izzard said her recent activities are 'all about her reclaiming her voice' and building her brand. He added: 'She always intimated she was stifled by life in the Royal Family. 'She's got to earn a living. It's very much 'I'm this Californian hostess now'. 'Harry's still stuck in the past and trying to settle scores. She is looking ahead, forging this brand.' The Sun approached the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for comment.
