Ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quit their royal duties and moved to California in 2020, the couple never fails to make the headlines. And while the Sussex are living life on their own terms in the US, but their relationship is still the talk of the palace— and not always in a good way. Recently, royal commentator Esther Krakue didn’t hold back when she claimed that Prince Harry is “totally whipped” by Meghan Markle, and guess what? King Charles apparently sees it too!In a chat with royal biographer Phil Dampier for The Sun, Krakue revealed that talks about Harry being under Meghan’s spell have been going around the palace for quite some time. Even courtiers close to the royal family have noticed the shift, and apparently, Charles has even joked about it behind the scenes.But wait— there’s more. The late Queen Elizabeth II’s opinion of Meghan reportedly changed quite a bit over time. At first, the Queen was said to be charmed by Meghan’s poise, brains, and well-spoken was– traits which are natural to actors. But according to Krakue, things took a turn once cultural differences and personal tensions bubbled up over time.Krakue points to a full-blown “culture clash” between Meghan and the royal setup. And the tension? It wasn’t just with the institution— it apparently extended to Kate Middleton and Prince William too. Royal author Sally Bedell Smith even revealed that the Queen’s cousin, Lady Elizabeth Anson, once doubted Meghan’s true intentions. According to her, Meghan didn’t seem to bond with the royal family— and certainly not with Kate, who is now the future Queen of Britain.Even worse, Anson reportedly felt that Meghan’s love for Harry didn’t feel entirely genuine. She said Harry seemed “besotted and weak,” while Meghan always appeared to be the one calling the shots in their relationship.But there’s a twist in Meghan and Harry’s love story as Krakue claims that Meghan initially thought she was marrying a billionaire. But once she realized that Harry isn’t exactly rolling in cash like a tech mogul, she was… well, disappointed. According to reports, that reality check may have cooled her enthusiasm for royal duties pretty quickly after her marriage.Apparently, Meghan wasn’t fully aware (or thrilled) about the intense workload and expectations that came with being a working royal. The glam? Sure. The grind? Not so much.So what’s the reality now? According to Krakue and Dampier, the Queen’s cooling attitude toward Meghan actually echoed how the public began to feel about the Duchess of Sussex over time. There was admiration at first—but after a string of interviews, tell-alls, and their dramatic royal exit, skepticism has definitely crept in.As Harry and Meghan continue making waves, one thing’s clear: the royal family drama is far from over. And the world? That’s still watching their every move.
