The Queen Keeps Pic of Meghan and Harry in Palace

From ELLE

Queen Elizabeth II may not have used any affectionate adjectives before Meghan Markle's name on her Instrument of Consent for Markle and Prince Harry's marriage, but the queen has shown her favor of Markle in her own subtle ways. She allowed Markle to spend Christmas with the royal family before officially joining it in May; she let Markle's beagle Guy ride with her to the royal wedding; and now, it's been revealed she keeps a photo of Markle and Harry in her sitting room. The picture has never been seen publicly before.

Queen Elizabeth II was hosting the Honorable George Brandis, the Australian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, on May 30 when the photo, revealing the framed picture of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in the background, was shot.

Markle spoke very fondly of the queen during her first BBC interview with Harry after their engagement was announced. "It’s incredible, I think, you know, a) to be able to meet her through his lens, not just with his honor and respect for her as the monarch, but the love that he has for her as his grandmother," she said. "All of those layers have been so important for me, so that when I met her I had such a deep understanding and, of course, incredible respect for being able to have that time with her. And we’ve had a really-she’s an incredible woman."
