The Queen wished Harry and Meghan all the best for their life abroad, a new book has claimed
The upcoming biography called Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait has explained how the Queen worried about her grandson – and his big move across the pond.
An excerpt of the book, published in The Mail On Sunday says: “I know she was anxious that Harry should ‘find his feet’ in California and ‘find really useful things to do’.
“The Queen was devoted to Harry. She loved him, she thought him ‘huge fun’, and she truly wished him well in his new life abroad.
“Whenever Harry called his grandmother from Montecito, he was always put through to Her Majesty immediately.”
It also claims that this love was extended to Meghan when she was brought into the family.
It says: “The truth is that when her grandson told her he was marrying Meghan Markle, she was truly delighted by the prospect.
“She liked Meghan and told lots of people so. And she did everything she could to make her future granddaughter-in-law feel welcome.”
It claims the Queen even suggested she keep working as she was “concerned for her future happiness”.
It reads: “At their first meeting, the Queen said to Meghan: ‘You can carry on being an actress if you like – that’s your profession, after all.’”
It comes after it was revealed the Queen secretly fought painful cancer in the final year of her life.

Her late Majesty is said to have had a form of bone marrow cancer, which symptoms include bone pain, before her death on September 8.
Her death certificate, released in September, officially recorded her cause of death as “old age”.
But Mr Brandreth wrote: “I had heard that the Queen had a form of myeloma — bone marrow cancer — which would explain her tiredness and weight loss and those ‘mobility issues’ we were often told about during the last year or so of her life.
