Gyles Brandreth has claimed the Queen made a sweet gesture to Meghan Markle when they embarked on their first joint royal visit.
The broadcaster published an excerpt of his new book, Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait, to The Mail On Sunday, in which he put forward the ways in which the Queen had been supportive towards the Duchess of Sussex.
Gyles wrote about the time the Queen took Meghan on her first solo outing to Chester, bringing along her former assistant private secretary Samantha Cohen.
