“On that day, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, was, without saying a word, signalling to the watching world that Meghan was now ‘one of us’.”
Meghan and Prince Harry have since stepped back from their senior royal roles.
They made the decision last year and now live in the United States with their son Archie and daughter Lilibet.
The couple have since done interviews and made a series of claims about the Royal Family.
Speaking in their infamous Oprah interview in March this year, Harry claimed he became cut off financially by his family “in the first quarter of 2020”.
Meanwhile, Meghan alleged there were ‘concerns’ and ‘conversations’ within the family about how dark their son Archie’s skin would be.

Reports suggested a rift between Harry and his family had now deepened because of his comments.
However, royal experts are predicting Harry and Meghan may return to the UK for Christmas.
And this could “pave the way for a healing of the family rift”.
