- Paul O'Grady warned Meghan Markle about things she should and shouldn't do when dealing with the Queen and the royal family.
- The TV star offered some words of wisdom to the Duchess of Sussex before she married Prince Harry.
- This royal news comes as Prince Archie is set for 'big moment' at King Charles' coronation if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attend.
Paul O'Grady warned Meghan Markle about some dos and don'ts in the early days of her relationship with Prince Harry.
The late TV presenter, who died 'unexpectedly' aged 67, was a good friend of Camilla Queen Consort and as a result of his royal connections he previously revealed the details of a conversation he had with Meghan, sharing some tips he gave her at the time.
In an interview with the TV Times, he admitted the Queen was "easy to get on with" and "likes a good laugh".
But his main advice for the Duchess to be at the time was to be "totally honest" with the Queen as she is a "straight talking person".
And he warned the Suits actress that is could "cause a divide" if she used too many "non UK words" and advised that she "try to avoid too many Americanisms".
He added, "Always remember to say 'lavatory', not 'bathroom', otherwise you will really rile her!"
The unearthed pieces of advice come after Paul's husband Andre, announced the heartbreaking news of his death earlier this week, his statement reads, "It is with great sadness that I inform you that Paul has passed away unexpectedly but peacefully yesterday evening.
"He will be greatly missed by his loved ones, friends, family, animals and all those who enjoyed his humor, wit and compassion.
"I know that he would want me to thank you for all the love you have shown him over the years."
The Royal Family paid tribute to the star, and shared a snap of Paul with Camilla, Queen Consort, and captioned it, "Deeply saddened to hear of the death of Paul O'Grady, who worked closely with Her Majesty in support of @Battersea_, providing lots of laughter and many waggy-tailed memories."
