Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reportedly knew they weren’t going to get a strong reception at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star Lady Colin Campbell claims the Sussexes expected a barrage of boos when they stepped out of their car at St Paul’s Cathedral.
The two recently returned to the UK after two years away to celebrate the Queen’s milestone of 70 years on the throne and made their first public appearance at the service of thanksgiving at the iconic cathedral.
But now, it’s claimed they knew they wouldn’t get the best reception and only one member of The Royal Family spoke to them.

Speaking on GB News, the aristocrat said: “When they arrived and they were booed, they expected the possibility of boos,” as they stepped out of their chauffer driven car.
The star continued: “That was sort of alright-ish, they didn’t like that they were booed but they walked into the cathedral and absolutely everyone cold-shouldered them, in the only way civilised people could do.

“Nobody caught their eye, it was stunningly, unnaturally polite but freezing cold.
“They realised between the cold-shouldering and the booing that they got from everyone, my understand is by the time they left, they were spitting bricks.”
The mum-of-two continued: “They were concerned, not only were they booed but while they were waiting for their car, nobody would speak to them except Zara [Tindall].

“Mike Tindall avoided them like the plague, he made sure he absolutely didn’t catch their eye, there’s Meghan speaking to herself with him four inches away from her.”
Outside the cathedral, footage shows Harry’s cousin and Zara’s brother, Peter Phillips, standing next to the couple but talking to somebody behind Meghan.
Meanwhile, Mike struck a conversation with David Armstrong-Jones, 2nd Earl of Snowdon, the Queen’s nephew.

Meanwhile, sources told the Daily Star that the House of Windsor were more concerned about Meghan Markle than they were of Prince Andrew.
A former friend of Meghan told us: “I know that the palace are very worried, they’re more worried about her than Andrew because they’re worried about what will be said.
“They’re worried about what will be used in interviews or in the memoirs.
“The other royals are very concerned about Meghan being there and the ramifications of her being there, what will Meghan be doing next?”
