An "unimpressed" Meghan Markle is said to have received a dressing down by the late Queen for her actions at a food tasting event prior to her wedding to Prince Harry.
The former Suits star is alleged to have been unhappy while taste-testing for her wedding in 2018 and is said to have let her feelings be known. It's reported the now Duchess of Sussex got "very upset" after saying she "felt that she could taste egg" in one of the dishes that had been prepared.
Explaining the scenario, a royal author claims Meghan was told there was no egg in the dish, but she didn't believe them. Instead, Meghan allegedly hit back: "No, I can taste it."

Speaking of the apparent altercation, royal author Katie Nicholl claimed to Yahoo's Royal Box that Queen Elizabeth II then intervened. She claims the late monarch, who died in 2022, walked into the room at Windsor Castle and "quietly took Meghan to the side". She allegedly told Meghan "the Royal Family does not speak to people like that".
Meghan Markle 'to unleash her own memoirs' as Prince Harry's drops next weekThe resurfaced alleged comments come after the First Lady of Nigeria was forced to speak out on apparent criticism she made of Meghan during the Sussex's trip to Nigeria last month. Reports said Oluremi Tinubu had berated Meghan for dressing indecently as she gave a speech at an event to mark President Bola Tinubu's one year in office.
However, the country's First Lady has since denied this was the case. She clarified that her comments were actually aimed at young Nigerian women. The TV station that filmed the speech also denied that Tinubu had reprimanded Meghan. Tinubu's office said the comments, which were reported following a video shared on social media, had been taken out of context. They told AFP Fact Check: "She meant Meghan appreciates the people we are and hence her coming here. At no point did she say anything about Meghan's dressing."
The comments in question had saw Tinubu say: "The message here is we have to salvage our children. We see the way they dress. They keep forgetting that Nigeria, we are beautiful. You can see what they showcase on the stage, I said, 'We are fashionable, we see what is going on'.
"We are not having the Met Gala. And everyone, the nakedness, is just everywhere and the men are well-clothed. So we have to do something. Tell them we don't accept nakedness in our culture. That is not beautiful. It's not beautiful at all.
"And they're all beautiful girls, but they should be confident in who they are. They do not want to mimic and try to emulate film stars from America. They don't know where they come from. Why did Meghan come here looking for Africa? That is something we have to take home with. We know who we are. Don't lose who you are."
