Rumors have surfaced this week that Queen Elizabeth has banned Meghan Markle from wearing various priceless pieces of jewelry from her collection because of the diva-like behavior the Duchess of Sussex exhibited before her wedding.

Though the royal family has denied that such a ban is in place, sources confirmed that the Queen has indeed said that Meghan can’t wear certain pieces of her jewelry.

“It is true that Buckingham Palace did not want all the items in the Royal Collection to be opened up to Meghan at this time,” a royal source said. “Obviously Kate as the next Princess of Wales and a senior member of the family does have them made available to her. That’s not to say items won’t be loaned to Meghan in the future if situations change.”

The Queen allegedly put this ban in place because she was “unimpressed by Meghan’s demanding behavior” just before her marriage to Harry last year. Prior to the wedding, Meghan allegedly insisted that she be allowed to wear an emerald encrusted headpiece, but her request was refused when the origin of the piece could not be established. Harry was livid that the request was denied stating, “What Meghan wants, Meghan gets,” a comment that the Queen did not appreciate.

“There was a very heated exchange that prompted the Queen to speak to Harry,” a source explained. “She said: ‘Meghan cannot have whatever she wants. She gets what tiara she’s given by me.'”

In the end, Meghan wore Queen Mary’s diamond and platinum bandeau tiara from the Queen’s private collection during her wedding. A source for Buckingham Palace, however, denied that the Queen has banned Meghan from wearing her jewelry.

“It is worth noting that the Queen lent Meghan a tiara for the wedding, gave her earrings for her first royal engagement, and had just agreed to partly fund her new household,” the source said. “The jewelry in question is only usually worn at extremely special functions or state occasions and there simply haven’t been many of those since Meghan became a member of the Royal Family.”
