The Queen Vs. Meghan - Royal Feud Explodes

Duchess Meghan gets revenge after the queen banishes her and Prince Harry to Africa.

It should have been a happy day. On April 21, the royal family gathered to celebrate Easter — and Queen Elizabeth II’s 93rd birthday. But onlookers couldn’t help but notice tension amongst the group. “Prince William and Prince Harry were barely speaking, and the queen looked very upset,” says an insider, pointing out that Duchess Meghan, 37, wasn’t even in attendance. “Everyone looked miserable.”

And who could blame them? That morning, a report had surfaced in a U.K. newspaper that David Manning — the former British ambassador to the U.S. and adviser to Harry and William — had “drawn up plans” to send Harry and Meghan to Africa for up to three years on royal business. “The opinion in royal circles is that there’s way too much negative publicity surrounding the foursome — William, Harry, Meghan and [Duchess] Kate — and that they need to be separated for a while. And the word is that the queen gave the plans her seal of approval,” the insider tells OK!, adding that Meghan was furious when she found out and demanded they confront the queen. “Harry warned her that’s not the way things are done in the royal family, but Meghan’s not one for sitting back. She did it anyway.”
