Meghan Markle allegedly left Camilla ‘furious’ after insisting on posting snaps of her during a visit to London’s National Theatre on the same day as the now-Queen’s domestic violence speech

A set of photos of Meghan Markle allegedly sparked a feud with Queen Camilla who was “furious”, it has been claimed.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, was snapped during a trip to London’s National Theatre in March 2020 as part of her role as patron, just weeks before officially stepping down from her duties. It’s understood she insisted on having the photos published immediately – despite requests to delay them and avoid potentially overshadowing Camilla’s long-planned speech on domestic violence.

The four photos were then hastily posted to Prince Harry, 38, and Meghan’s Sussex Royal Instagram page the same day. They showed the duchess and mum-of-two in a white blouse and pencil skirt inspecting the venue’s Immersive Storytelling Studio. An insider claimed Meghan was to blame for uploading the photos the same day as Camilla’s speech.

They told the Daily Star at the time she was accused of trying to “steal Camilla’s limelight” with the now-Queen “very upset”. They added senior royals asked Meghan to delay the release so she didn’t “overshadow” the then-Princess of Wales, 76, but she “refused to listen”.
