Queen Elizabeth II's cousin has claimed the late monarch was not a fan of Meghan Markle and was 'dismayed' by the pre-wedding row she had with Prince Harry.

Queen Elizabeth bestowed Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, with the titles of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex upon their royal wedding day, and the couple later honored her by naming their daughter Lilibet Diana in a tribute to the Queen's childhood nickname of Lilibet, used by family.

The late monarch reportedly questioned the sincerity of the former 'Suits' star and privately voiced her concerns to a trusted confidante.
