But Ms Forwich said that after the infamous Oprah Winfrey interview in 2021, Camilla labelled the duchess a “minx” and “ungrateful”.

She explained: “Fast-forward, post Oprah interview, Netflix documentary, ‘Spare’ and numerous interviews, Meghan has been labelled ‘that minx’ and ‘ungrateful’ by Camilla who was suspicious from the get-go of Meghan’s motives.

“Many say they actually never enjoyed a close relationship. The suspicion is Camilla had been finding it tough to believe Meghan would sacrifice her ‘career and independence’ to serve silently behind her man as a team player devoted to the monarchy.”

It comes as the duchess was said to be “ready to sit down” with the Royal Family for reconciliation talks after four years of barely any contact.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been estranged from the Firm ever since their sensational departure in 2020.

But now a royal commentator claimed that the Duchess is ready to reunite with her estranged in-laws, despite being “genuinely hurt”.

Angela Levin told GB News: “She’s still genuinely hurt by how she was treated by the Royal Family – this is four years on.

“And she wants to now at last sit down and talk through things.”
