Queen Camilla writes to author who once called Meghan Markle ‘phoney’ and ‘unmaternal’
The author was part of a huge controversy when she heavily criticised the Duchess of Sussex in a video where she read to her son Archie in 2020.
Queen Camilla and Meghan Markle at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral
Queen Camilla has penned a personal letter to bestselling American author Emily Giffin, who has previously made controversial comments about Meghan Markle.
Giffin, known for her 2005 novel ‘Something Borrowed’, revealed on social media that she received the letter from Camilla in July, following their meeting at a literary event earlier this year.
Giffin had faced widespread backlash in 2020 after she criticised Meghan Markle in a series of Instagram posts.
In response to a video of Meghan reading to her son, Archie, on his first birthday, Giffin labelled the Duchess of Sussex as “unmaternal” and “phoney”.
These comments sparked outrage, leading Giffin to issue an apology, to which Meghan Markle never replied publicly.
Despite Giffin’s controversial past, Queen Camilla expressed her pleasure in meeting the author during the Queen’s Reading Room literary festival at Hampton Court Palace earlier this summer.
The Queen’s correspondence with Giffin has raised eyebrows, as it is unclear whether Camilla was aware of Giffin’s previous remarks about Meghan Markle when she wrote the letter.
When the intial backlash broke, Giffin posted on her social media: “To be clear, I absolutely loved that a biracial, American woman was marrying into the Royal Family.
“It seemed a wonderful, happy thing for everyone. I celebrated their wedding by hosting a gathering here at my home and posting many, many photos. Further, I was appalled by any signs of racism against her.”
