Meghan Markle shared a rare photo of her late grandmother, Thomas Markle’s mother, in her Netflix documentary.
Doris May Rita Sanders of Newport, Pennsylvania was born in New Hampshire, United States in 1920.
She married Gordon Arnold in 1941 and had Thomas Markle three years later.
Ms. Sanders died at the age of 91 in November 2011.
The Duchess of Sussex said it meant a lot to have a grandmother figure in the Queen after she lost hers.
Very few details are known about Meghan’s paternal grandmother, and the 41-year-old royal has decided not to publish too many photos of her in the media.
Meghan spoke about the queen reminding her of her grandmother, saying: “She was so close to my grandmother and I took care of her in her later years.”
The Duchess of Sussex told a story of when the former monarch had a blanket and put it over his legs on his trip to Cheshire.
She said: ‘I acknowledge and respect and see [that she is] the Queen, but right now I’m so grateful that there’s a grandmother figure because that feels like family.’
Of the Queen, more generally, she said: “I treated her like my husband’s grandmother, and knowing that there has to be a completely different sense of propriety in public.”
But being able to have breakfast and ‘sit’ and talk to Her Majesty meant a lot to Meghan.
She added: “It was a good day, we had a laugh.”
Wow this woman just does not get it. She was QUEEN above all else, first and foremost. She doesnt understand that, and that is why she is unsuitable for royalty.
