The late TV star once gave some surprising advice to the Duchess of Sussex-to-be
Paul O'Grady gave a warning to Meghan Markle before she married Prince Harry over how not to 'rile' the Queen and the royal family.
- 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!"
