Meghan Markle ‘interfered when late Queen was ill & she’ll do it again with Kate Middleton’s cancer fight’, expert says
Prince Harry has become a 'laughing stock' in the States, claims the royal biographer
MEGHAN Markle "interfered" when the Queen was ill - and she will do it again to Princess Kate, a royal expert has claimed.
Last week it was revealed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to launch two more Netflix shows - one on cooking and gardening and the other on polo.

And the pair put on a loved-up display in front of Netflix cameras at a polo match in Palm Beach, Miami on Friday.
But several royal experts have claimed Meghan is the one in charge.
It comes as they believe the duchess, 42, ultimately has the final say on whether Harry will reunite with his estranged brother Prince William.
Royal biographer Angela Levin told The Sun Online: "Meghan has pulled the strings of Harry ever since they met.

"The thing is she has said several times that she can't stand the Royal Family, she can't stand the UK, she's been unbelievably unkind and rude.
"No gratitude whatsoever, sneered that £32 million was paid on her wedding because she really wanted one that was more straightforward and not so messy."
The expert added Harry has become a "laughing stock" in the States, and been dragged "down the ditch" with Meghan.
"And that's one reason why she's not progressing with her, doing all the sort of cookery and all that stuff," added Mrs Levin.

"She said she doesn't want to interfere while Catherine and the King are not well, but she's interfered when the Duke of Edinburgh wasn't well, when the Queen wasn't well, so I don't believe that."
Just days before her Majesty died, Meghan said in an interview it would take "a lot of effort to forgive" The Firm for what happened to her and Harry.
She told The Cut on August 29, 2022: "I think forgiveness is really important. It takes a lot more energy to not forgive.
"But it takes a lot of effort to forgive. I've really made an active effort, especially knowing that I can say anything."
Meghan's comments were branded a "thinly veiled threat" by The Sunday Times' Royal editor, Roya Nikkhah.
The Queen died ten days later on September 8.
Harry and Meghan previously filmed and released the Oprah interview in March 2021, weeks before Prince Philip died in June that year.
News of the pair's latest Netflix shows come weeks after Kate and King Charles bravely opened up about their shock cancer diagnoses. Both are undergoing treatment.

The royal biographer also discussed Meghan's chances of success with her new Netflix series, asking: "Are there many people who want to be like Meghan? That's a very good question."
On Harry's US visa drama, Mrs Levin said: "Meghan's got an an itch to do something political because she's failing in so many different areas, you know, acting, producing.
"Now the food thing, being a guru of home life, it's sort of things that never come through."
If the couple were forced to relocate to the UK, Mrs Levin claimed she wouldn't put it past the duchess to weasel her way into politics - despite not being wanted.
"But this is Meghan," she said.
"When she went to the Royal Family, she was immediately trying to tell them what to do, how to run it, how to make it more up to date.
"But she gave no time for her to really understand it."
NEW NETFLIX SHOWS
It comes after another royal expert dubbed Harry "obsessive" and claimed he will never leave Meghan.
Royal biographer Ingrid Seward believes the Duchess of Sussex will stay happy as long as “she’s in control”.
The couple have announced they are planning on releasing two new Netflix projects.
The first series will focus on Meghan and explore "the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship", according to Deadline.
One royal expert branded the move "desperate" and said they felt "skeptical" because the duchess is "known for losing friends rather than gaining friends".
The show is being produced by Sony Pictures Television's The Intellectual Property Corporation.
Meghan will executive produce alongside Archewell's head of non-fiction Chanel Pysnik.
Harry and Meghan's business flops
- Meghan had her upcoming animated series Pearl chucked out by Netflix while in the development stage.
- Then 42-year-old was said to have been "uncharacteristically quiet", following the loss of her £18million Spotify deal in June last year.
- While Spare initially sold a staggering number of copies demand soon dwindled and a year on its popularity has plummeted with major retailers slashing prices in half.
- Meanwhile, their Netflix documentary also took a hit and the duke and duchess are believed to have been paid only half of their reported £78million contract.
- The pair were poked fun at by comedian Jo Koy at the Golden Globes for "being paid millions by Netflix for doing nothing".
- Harry's series, Heart of Invictus, shedding light on the Olympic-style games he started for wounded ex-service competitors also flopped.
- Archewell figures in December last year revealed a hole in the accounts after it received almost £9million less in donations than in a previous year.
The second series will follow the couple's love of professional polo.
Primarily shot at the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, the project will be produced by Boardwalk Pictures.
Prince Harry, 39, is known as a keen polo player.
It follows the couple's bombshell documentary, Harry and Meghan, in 2022, offering an insight into their relationship.
Released in two parts, the explosive docuseries lobbed bombs at The Firm - seeing it torn apart by royal experts.
But, despite the attention it drew, it didn't even rank in the top 200 most-watched Netflix shows from January to June.
Months later Harry's series Heart of Invictus about the Olympic-style games he started for wounded ex-service competitors flopped.
And Meghan's animated series Pearl, about a girl inspired by historical female figures, was dropped while still in the development stage.
Harry and Meghan are believed to have been paid only half of their reported £78million contract.
