In "Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait", biographer Gyles Brandreth looks back on the defining events in the life of the sovereign.

Among them: the arrival of Meghan Markle within the royal family.

According to the writer, the monarch was worried about Harry, who seemed to be "a bit too much in love" with his new companion.

A biography that is likely to cause a stir when it is released in the United Kingdom.

On December 8,

Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait

will be published , a book dedicated to the life of the sovereign, who died in September.

Writer Gyles Brandreth explores the defining moments in the life of the monarch and tells in particular how she experienced the arrival of Meghan Markle, a divorced American, within the royal family. 

Elizabeth II was "delighted" to welcome Meghan 

In extracts from the biography published in the

Guardian,

we learn that Elizabeth II was "delighted" to welcome the former actress.

But, she would also have worried about her grandson Harry's too strong feelings for Meghan.

The Duke of Sussex was, according to her, perhaps "a little too much in love" with his new partner.

Very close to William's little brother, whom she got closer to after Diana's death in 1997, Elizabeth II feared that her grandson would end up suffering. 

"You can continue to be an actress"

The sovereign, on the other hand, had no animosity towards Meghan Markle.

According to Gyles Brandreth, she even encouraged her to pursue her profession.

"You can continue to be an actress if you want, it's your job after all," she allegedly told him. 

Gyles Brandreth also talks about Meghan and Harry's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.

In this interview, the Sussexes had poured out their discomfort within the royal family.

Meghan Markle had even claimed to have had suicidal thoughts during her first pregnancy, before the Megxit.

Far from being angered by what she described as "televisual nonsense", the queen was above all worried about her grandson.

And, she would have even defended the couple, vehemently criticized by her son Prince Andrew.
