An Alleged Altercation
A report claimed Queen Elizabeth II had to tell Meghan Markle not to 'speak to people like that' after she allegedly berated a caterer.
This isn’t the first negative rumor about their wedding that has come out, as The New Royals biographer Katie Nicholl claimed Meghan “berated” her wedding caterer so badly Elizabeth had to step in, reportedly telling her, “In this family, we don’t speak to people like that.”
Harry spoke out about his wife on June 28 at an appearance at the 2025 Nexus Global Summit in New York, calling her the “most trolled person in the world” in 2018.
Suicidal Thoughts
Meghan Markle said she 'didn't want to be alive' when there was so much negative press about her.
In 2021, Meghan and Harry sat down for an interview with Oprah Winfrey where she addressed negative headlines in the press about her, noting they led her to contemplate taking her own life.
“I just didn’t want to be alive anymore,” she revealed, adding she “didn’t see a solution.”
“I would sit up at night, and I was just like, ‘I don’t understand how all of this is being churned out,’” she added.
Still, Meghan is criticized to this day, including being slammed for her product line, her Netflix show and the response she and Prince Harry had to the Pacific Palisades wildfires.
