A new documentary claims that Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, once offered help to Meghan Markle, only for Markle to allegedly turn it down. The Channel 5 programme, \u201cRoyal Peacemaker: Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh,\u201d charts Sophie\u2019s journey from newcomer to one of the British monarchy\u2019s most recognizable figures. It claims that while Sophie became a trusted guide for Kate Middleton, Markle did not accept the Duchess of Edinburgh\u2019s help.<\/p>\n

Meghan Markle reportedly refused any help from Duchess Sophie, claims report<\/h2>\n

The Mirror<\/a> has reported that royal experts described the Duchess of Edinburgh as a woman who made it her mission to help younger women marrying into the Royal Family. Royal commentator Emily Andrews claimed that Sophie approached both Kate Middleton<\/a> and Meghan Markle, saying, \u201cWhen she saw younger members marrying into the Royal Family, like Catherine Middleton and Meghan Markle, she was very happy to offer to be a mentor of sorts.\u201d Andrews added, \u201cSophie had seen it all. She\u2019s been there and done that.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Middleton, the bond allegedly took root quickly, with royal correspondent Victoria Murphy calling Sophie \u201ca natural mentor for Kate in many ways\u201d and pointing to small but telling gestures.<\/p>\n

However, the documentary suggests the story was different with Markle. Andrews claims that Sophie made the same approach, meeting the Duchess of Sussex and allegedly telling her, \u201cAnything I can do, anything I can help with, let me know.\u201d However, Markle allegedly never invited her to Frogmore Cottage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Notably, the late Queen Elizabeth<\/a> also allegedly had enormous trust in her daughter-in-law, with Ailsa Anderson, former press secretary for the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, describing that bond by saying, \u201cI think the late Queen saw Sophie as a safe pair of hands, as she could always be relied on.\u201d Anderson added, \u201cSophie was a true confidant for the Queen, which is quite rare in the royal world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
