Queen said Meghan could carry on acting after joining Firm & didn’t have to ’embrace Royal duties’ Diana biographer says

MEGHAN rejected an offer from the Queen to travel the world as a royal ambassador while continuing her acting career, it was claimed yesterday.

Royal biographer Andrew Morton claimed the ex-star of American legal drama Suits was given the unprecedented part-time option to keep her happy.

But she and Prince Harry opted for a clean break in the US, then turned on his family in her incendiary Oprah Winfrey interview.

Morton, whose blockbuster biography of Princess Diana rocked the monarchy in 1992, said his sources told him that Meghan, 39, and the Duke of Sussex, 36, were offered the ultimate royal dream ticket by his devoted and dutiful grandmother.

He told the Royally Obsessed podcast: “They were told, ‘Here are your first-class tickets, pick which country you want to go to, we’re going to make you youth ambassadors for the Commonwealth’.

“In fairness to the Royal Family, in fairness to the Queen, she did give them that opportunity to go wherever they pleased.

“And also, they did say to Meghan if you don’t want to embrace royal duties full-time please be our guest and continue your acting career.

"Those opportunities were open to her.”

Morton also cast doubt on Meghan’s allegations during the Oprah interview that palace pressure turned her into a virtual prisoner after her wedding.

He said: “There were all kinds of discrepancies in the interview.

“Friends of mine have seen Meghan walking from Whole Foods Supermarket on Kensington High Street taking bags of food back to Kensington Palace.

“It didn’t seem too much like a prison.
