A new royal claim centred on Queen Elizabeth and Meghan Markle emerged in the US on 27 March, when OK! Magazine reported that biographer Hugo Vickers says the late monarch was deeply troubled by Prince Harry's decision to marry Meghan and by the couple's conduct in her final years.
Vickers presents the 2018 marriage of Harry and Meghan not as a passing family upset but as part of a heavier private burden carried by the monarch before her death in September 2022. The account is based on Vickers' interpretation of her inner life rather than newly released palace records, asking readers to weigh his access and judgement rather than treat every claim as settled fact.
