Meghan Markle and Prince Harry may be receiving backlash both from the royal British empire and its loyal patrons, but this was not always the case (probably). The contemplation of whether Prince Harry should attend his father, the heir to the throne, Prince Charles’ coronation being the latest one, there has been a lot of hassle in the Sussex’s life lately. But it was not always the case, perhaps.

If you are not aware of their enigmatic love story, Prince Harry fell for Meghan Markle over social media much before they went on their very first date. And when they finally did, the late queen did approve of the relationship. Sharing the heartwarming story in their Netflix Documentary, Harry & Meghan did let the world know of their journey before pulling a plethora of accusations at the royal family. But much before that report suggested that the Queen and the entire royal family welcomed Markle with all the warmth.

Apparently, back in 2016, US Weekly reported that although Meghan Markle was yet to meet Queen Elizabeth II, she already approved of their relationship. As per the insiders, Prince’s grandmother was “delighted to see Harry in a loving relationship.”

Furthermore, at that time they were in the initial stage of their relationship and it was probably all hearts and happiness for the former American actor. Although she and the Princess of Wales had not met by that time, Kate Middleton was more than excited to find “what Meghan’s all about.”
