EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Meghan Markle is a starlet, not a star

A Woman Of Substance author Barbara Taylor Bradford, who was handed an OBE by the Queen, claims the Duchess of Sussex tried — and failed — to outshine Her Majesty.

'Meghan came to the UK imagining she'd be the star of the red carpet, even though she wasn't much more than a starlet in America,' she says of the U.S. former actress.

'What she didn't realise is that we already have a shining star on the red carpet, someone who's been there for 70 years. She's called the Queen.'

Leeds-born Taylor Bradford, who has lived in New York for decades, adds: 'The Queen is magnificent, and William and Kate grow in stature day by day. She's divine — and how does she stay so slim?'
