Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, branded Meghan Markle “that minx” and thought she was “ungrateful”, a royal expert claims.
Royal biographer Tom Bower has claimed that the two duchesses have never seen eye-to-eye – with future Queen Camilla reportedly “suspicious” of the intentions of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, reported The Sun.
He believes that Camilla, 74, remained “tight lipped” with her opinions of Meghan, 40, after she was brought into the Royal Family by her stepson.
Prince Harry and Meghan have kept quiet after the Queen, 95, announced Camilla would be known as Queen Consort when Prince Charles, 73, becomes King.
Mr Bowers believes that their silence was “deliberate” and an “insult” to the Royal Family.

He said: “Perhaps the Sussexes’ deafening silence is Meghan’s way of declaring war.
“It is believed that she has never liked Camilla, and I am sure the feelings are reciprocated.
“From the outset, Camilla was suspicious about the adventuress from Los Angeles.
“She found it hard to believe that Meghan would sacrifice her career and independence to serve silently as a team player devoted to the monarchy.
“But, as in all her conduct, Camilla remained tight-lipped. While watching Charles painfully believe that Harry was intent on publicly humiliating him, Camilla undoubtedly provided the comfort and good advice to reassure her husband that he had done the best he could.
“She could comfort him that while his authority is challenged by the Sussex’s, he would emerge victorious.
“During those inevitably endless, tortured and inconclusive conversations, Camilla is the sort who would refer to Meghan as ‘that minx’ — the self-seeking troublemaker whose antics will always end in tears.”
In an address marking her Accession Day, Her Majesty, 95, said it was her “sincere wish” that the Duchess of Cornwall will be known as Queen Consort.
Camilla was given lesser title Princess Consort after marrying Charles in 2005.
Charles and Camilla are said to be “touched and honoured” at the decision that she will be Queen.
