Queen feared Harry was 'a little over-in-love' with Meghan and dismissed Oprah interview as 'nonsense'

Queen Elizabeth II felt Prince Harry was 'over-in-love' with Meghan Markle and dismissed the couple's explosive Oprah interview as 'nonsense', a new book claims.

Her late Majesty, who passed away in September, said she was more concerned about her grandson's wellbeing after hearing about 'this television nonsense'.

Meghan Markle made a series of damning claims about the royals, including allegations of racism and neglect of her mental health while she was a working member of the family.

The claims appear in Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait by former Conservative MP and Palace confidant Gyles Brandreth.

The book is being serialised by the Daily Mail and will be published next month.

Brandreth wrote: "The only concern the Queen let slip in the early days of the Sussexes’ marriage was to wonder to a friend if Harry wasn’t ‘perhaps a little over-in-love’.

"This was as far as she came – to my knowledge at least – to ever uttering a word against the new Duchess of Sussex."

He also stated that the Queen died from a rare form of bone marrow cancer, which would "explain" repeated mobility issues toward the end of her life.

He wrote: "I had heard that the Queen had a form of myeloma — bone marrow cancer — which would explain her tiredness and weight loss and those ‘mobility issues’ we were often told about during the last year or so of her life."
