Meghan 'true to form’ as duchess failed to focus on queen’s ‘legacy'

The Duchess of Sussex gave an in-depth interview to Variety magazine, where the 41-year-old opened up about her life with Prince Harry. In the interview, Meghan also touched on her

relationship with the late monarch. However, according to American royal commentator Lee Cohen, Meghan failed to focus on Queen Elizabeth II's "legacy" and, instead, opted to

staying "true to form" in talking about herself. Talking to express.co.uk, Mr Cohen said: "The profound loss of the beloved, longest-serving British monarch ever, and her

husband's [Harry's] grandmother, caused Meghan to focus true to form on herself in this interview rather than on the qualities and legacy of the magnificent Queen and the era

shaped by her reign. "The only thing [that] Meghan offered in tribute to Her Majesty in that interview was her excellent example of female leadership." He added that Meghan spoke

of the late monarch as if "she was nothing to her than a Nicola Sturgen or a Nancy Pelosi". Mr Cohen added that this is "so telling" because despite the benefits of

marrying into the Royal Family, she was "not moved by the most profound aspects of the Queen's value". READ MORE: ROYAL FAMILY LIVE: 'JOYOUS MOMENT' BETWEEN HARRY

various events. She added: “She would always host this lovely weekend at the end of August, a big sleepover for her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren. And she would always make a

point of inviting Harry and Meghan but in the last couple of summers, they didn't go.  READ NEXT:
