MEGHAN Markle was once pulled to the side by The Queen and scolded not to speak “like that” after an incident over dish sampling for her wedding reception, according to an expert.
The Duchess of Sussex allegedly got “upset” because she could taste egg in the meal she was served which was meant to be egg-free.
The alleged incident, was revealed by author Katie Nicholl, and apparently occurred when Meghan was sampling food to be served at her wedding reception back in 2018.
Speaking to Yahoo's Royal Box, Ms Nicholl said: "Meghan got very upset when she felt that she could taste egg in a dish when she was told there was no egg in there, and she said, 'No, I can taste it, I can taste there's egg in this dish.'"
Ms Nicholl went on to reveal that the Queen walked in on the incident and "quietly took Meghan to the side".
Her Majesty supposedly told Meghan that the Royal Family does not speak to people "like that".

Could this have been a hint to the future?
The Invictus Games are clearly close to Prince Harry's heart and in 2017 he picked the Toronto event to formally introduce Meghan Markle to the world as his girlfriend.
They attended a tennis event in the Canadian city with Meghan making an intriguing outfit choice which may have hinted to future plans.
She teamed a pair of ripped blue jeans and ballet pumps with a crisp white shirt designed by her friend Misha Nonoo.
The $185 shirt had many questioning if there was reasoning behind wearing it as it emerged the name of the piece was called the 'husband' shirt.
Meghan and Harry weren't engaged at the time and many wondered if the shirt was a way of signalling what was to come.
The Daily Mail even noted it was "perhaps a subtle indication by Meghan that she won’t be a single lady for much longer".

Meg & Harry 'only have each other'
MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry 'only have each other' after turning their backs on The Firm, claims royal expert.
Royal correspondent and author Katie Nicholl says the couple's determination to exit the Royal Family and move across the pond is proof of their love and solidarity as a couple.
Katie told OK!: “In only four years they’ve been on an extraordinary journey, making such huge decisions.
"But as Harry said, they are in it together, as a team,” adds Katie.
“When you think about what they’ve turned their backs on, what they’ve given up and particularly the sacrifices Harry has made, it’s just as well they’re such a strong unit because they’ve only really got each other.
"Meghan’s only family connections are with her mother Doria, and Harry’s ties with his family are hanging by a thread.”
Royal author Nigel Cawthorne agreed, saying that The Duke and Duchesses solitude may have strengthened them as a royal couple.

Harry could disrespect Kate with memoir
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield claims there there are concerns that both the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Cornwall could be disrespected in Prince Harry's upcoming book.
Speaking to GB News, Ms Schofield said: "If Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and their children did come to celebrate the life of Prince Philip at the end of this month, I can assure you that the Royal Family would go out of their way to make sure that they were safe and secure and that they had all of the security they needed.
"This is just a silly excuse to not come out and meet the Queen.
"I interviewed Richard Fitzwilliams, he said something to me and he says how arrogant and yucky it is to release this book during the Queen's Jubilee year that we're expecting at the end of the year.
"There are concerns about Harry disrespecting Camilla and God forbid, disrespecting perhaps the Duchess of Cambridge."

Prince Harry will 'avoid criticising Queen in memoir'
Prince Harry will avoid criticising the Queen in his forthcoming memoir, claims a royal expert.
Biographer, close friend of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, and co-author of Harry’s unofficial biography Finding Freedom, Omid Scobie told the Royal Obsessed podcast that Harry's book will not be critical of the Queen, but would rather celebrate her life.
He said: “Harry really is going out of his way to make sure that there isn’t material in there [the book] that can be seen as negative towards the Queen or her reign in any way whatsoever, and he really wants to celebrate her life and his relationship with her in that book.
“I think as much as the press want this to be a burn book and an attack on the institution, this is more just about his story, and of course, his story is so much more than just the few years of his life as the Duke of Sussex.
“I think for people expecting that warts and all moment, it’s not going to happen. That said, it’s still going to be fascinating.”

Meghan Markle's sister's Twitter account was banned
Meghan Markle's sister's Twitter account was banned after 'she tried to evade a previous ban' following reports that she's been harassing the Duchess of Sussex for years.
Twitter suspended Samantha Markle's account for allegedly attempting to evade a previous ban the social media platform issued in 2019. She had her second Twitter account, @TheMarkleSammy, banned from the platform three years after her first account, @sammy-markle, was suspended.
Samantha's lawyer, Douglas Kahle, denied the allegations and claimed the Twitter account was hacked and that the tweets published by Buzzfeed were 'photo-shopped.'
"Ms. Markle's email and other accounts have been hacked on several occasions and it is very likely that those statements were made by third parties to defame our client," Kahle told BuzzFeed.
"Due to the urgency of this matter, we are still investigating," he added.

His objection was that he wanted his daughter identified as mixed race.
Mr Markle appeared in a YouTube video with celebrity photographer Karl Larsen and explained how he argued with the doctor to have mixed-race put on the certificate.

'Concerned' Pippa Middleton uninvited Meg to her wedding
A royal expert has claimed that Pippa Middleton had concerns Meghan Markle would "overshadow" her on her wedding day.
Author and royal correspondent Judy Wade told People magazine the main issue was that Meghan Markle at that time just started dating Prince Harry, and Pippa was worried Meg "upstage her".
Instead, The Duchess of Sussex was Pippa's matron of honour.
In Finding Freedom, authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, also claim that Meghan had planned to attend the full day.
They write: "Harry and Meghan agreed that she couldn't possibly turn up at the church, only fifty metres away from a specially arranged media pen, after such a crass cover story.
"If they worried their arrival might create a media circus despite taking every precaution, now they had no doubt that it would.
"Meghan's church outfit and Philip Treacy hat would have to be worn another time."

Prince Harry accused of 'behaving like child'
Prince Harry has been slammed for 'behaving like a child' by a royal expert for refusing to attend his grandfather Prince Philip's memorial service.
Prince Harry is to miss the Duke of Edinburgh's memorial service, it has been confirmed.
Royal biographer Angela Levin has hit out at Harry's decision, saying he is acting like a “child."
The Daily Mail reported she said: "It’s all about ‘me, me, me’ rather than going out of his way for his grandmother and showing her he cares. He’s behaving like a child stamping his feet."
Ms Levin continued: "What they won’t do, is if he goes out with his friends he gets security. He’ll probably use this same excuse to try to get out of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.”
The Daily Mail has reported that his lawyers claimed he "does not feel safe coming from across the Atlantic."

Thomas Markle admits arguing with doctor over daughter’s race
He stated the birth certificate gave options only for ‘Black’ or ‘White’, but not ‘mixed.
Markle said in his podcast that he hosts with long-time friend, Karl Larsen: “He wanted to mark down Black. In my mind it should have been marked ‘Mixed’.
He went on to confirm a piece she wrote in an essay for Elle UK in 2016. In the essay Meghan talks about a census report she had to fill in in the seventh grade (12-13 year-olds) that included ethnicity.
She wrote: “You could only choose one, but that would be to choose one parent over the other — and one half of myself over the other […] I didn’t tick a box.
“I left my identity blank — a question mark, an absolute incomplete — much like how I felt. When I went home that night, I told my dad what had happened. He said the words that have always stayed with me: ‘If that happens again, you draw your own box.”

Charles feared of an 'excoriating takedown'
The Sun last month revealed how Charles had told aides he was worried his younger son's book would be an "excoriating takedown" of his wife — particularly in the early years of their romance.
A source said: "There are concerns about Harry’s recollections of Camilla’s entry into the Royal Family, and how her long-running romance with Charles damaged him from a young age.
"Harry is fiercely loyal and protective of his late mother and her legacy, and didn’t approve of Camilla sweeping in as the great love of his father’s life.
"Understandably he found those early years incredibly difficult, and he might publicly blame Camilla for much of what he believes went wrong in his childhood, and the trauma the whole situation caused."
The source added Charles is "deeply protective of Camilla" and the "last thing he needs" is an "excoriating takedown of her at a time when people have finally taken her to their hearts" – after his mother announced she would one day be Queen.

Camilla entered Harry and Prince William’s lives shortly before their mother died and the trio endured a series of ups and downs.
Royal biographer Angela Levin said she believed Harry could blame his stepmother for his mental health problems in a "spiteful attack" for "stealing" Charles from Diana.
