A royal expert is speaking out this week to say that the way things have gone down with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry has left Queen Elizabeth “very upset” because she had “high hopes” for them.

“In public, the Queen has bent over backwards to try and [help Meghan and Harry],” royal expert Phil Dampier said, according to The Express. “But in private she’s devastated by what’s happened. She had high hopes for Meghan and Harry with going out into the Commonwealth but it’s all been thrown back in her face. She must be very, very upset by it.”

Royal expert Ingrid Seward agreed, saying that the Queen is “saddened” by the current situation.

“The Commonwealth is her baby, that’s what Prince Philip says, so I really feel that she’s so saddened,” Seward explained. “But she will not put up with rudeness and she dislikes intensely private conversations being repeated. Both of which, things Harry and Meghan are doing a lot of the time. Maybe not personally but through their LA publicists.”

Royal insiders are saying that the Queen has had enough of Harry and Meghan’s “mistruths,” with expert Kate Mansey saying that the royal family feels that “enough is enough.”

The Queen was not happy. It’s particularly significant that tempers are at such a level in the Palace that impeccable sources – insiders – are telling me that enough’s enough.

“I think this is very much a shot across the bows for the Sussexes’ spin machine,” Mansey said. “Will they jump on every little thing? No. But when it relates to the heart of what the Queen has said in a conversation, they will absolutely step in. They are not going to stand for ‘mistruths’ – as I was told – being represented in the global media.”

Other royal experts feel similarly.

“I think without a doubt the Royal Family are growing increasingly fed up with the behaviour of Meghan and Harry, and also British public opinion is turning firmly against Meghan and Harry as well,” added royal commentator Nile Gardiner, according to The Telegraph.

“You’re seeing the Royal Family really closing ranks here,” he continued. “Without a doubt, I think that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have behaved in a less than exemplary fashion in recent months, launching a series of direct attacks against the monarchy and of course, the Queen is the head of the monarchy.”

“So I think the feeling within the Royal Family is that the behavior of Meghan and Harry leaves much to be desired,” Gardiner stated, going on to add that we’re seeing “the Royal Family coming together and distancing” themselves from Harry and Meghan.
