Royal Family Rifts: Explosive Revelations in New Book.
Queen Elizabeth II was surprised when Meghan Markle dismissed her advice about settling into royal life and declined her offer to speak to Sophie Rhys-Jones, now-Duchess of Edinburgh, who had found herself in a similar situation after marrying Prince Edward. Meghan reportedly said she had Harry to help her instead. The claim was made in a new book by royal commentator Robert Jobson, who also revealed that stripping the exiled royals of their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles was discussed at the highest level, but Charles was reportedly not in favor of it.
