A new book on the British royal family claimed that Prince Philip was very cautious of Meghan Markle joining the royal family, while Queen Elizabeth II had expressed disapproval over her attempt to appear "virginal".

Royal author Ingrid Seward shared some sensational revelations about the family in her new book "My Mother and I". She wrote that the late Duke of Edinburgh had warned his wife not to be easily charmed by the Duchess of Sussex. Queen Elizabeth II reportedly had high hopes for the former "Suits" star to become an integral part of the institution, right from when she became publicly known as Prince Harry's new love interest.
