Meghan Markle was unwelcome on day Queen Elizabeth died, expert says

Meghan Markle was "unwelcome" to join the royal family on the day Queen Elizabeth passed away, according to a royal expert cited in recent reporting.

In his book "Betrayal," published earlier this year, author Tom Bower details the late Queen's final moments on September 8, 2022. That morning, Bower writes, King Charles had been informed by telephone that his mother was seriously ill and immediately travelled by helicopter to Balmoral Castle, her residence in Scotland, where she had retreated during her final weeks.

The Sussexes responded to the claims in Bower's book by accusing the author of "fixation" and "crossing a line."

Meghan Markle spent years building her career in Hollywood before landing her breakout role in the television series "Suits."
