But one person she did not fault was her husband Prince Harry s grandmother, the Queen.
Sharing details of the kind gestures with which Queen Elizabeth made her feel part of the family, Meghan explained that the monarch even reminded her of her own grandmother.
Meghan said that the Queen had eaten breakfast with her, gifted her precious pearl earrings and a matching necklace, and even on one occasion shared a blanket with her.
The pregnant duchess recalled how: The Queen, for example, has always been wonderful to me.
THE Duke and Duchess of Sussex s deeply personal interview with Oprah Winfrey has sent shockwaves across the globe, with damaging revelations about the Royal Family. The no-holds barred interview with Harry and Meghan, covering topics including racism, mental health, them being targeted by a hostile national press and Royal Family dynamics, was first aired on TV in America on Sunday night, and will be shown on ITV on Monday night. But amid the turmoil the couple said they have suffered in the past few years, which has culminated in them formally stepping down from royal duties and moving to California, there was reflection of a happy time the Duchess of Sussex enjoyed – when she visited Chester with the Queen in June 2018.
Infrastructure investing: Fulfilling the UK’s infrastructure needs
Infrastructure is correctly seen as a diversifier and source of stable returns.
Pete Carvill looks at the UK’s needs and finds that despite the steep entry costs, there is a role for smaller pension schemes.
The need case for UK infrastructure investment has been set out several times already and is a problem recognised at all levels. The country needs better roads, schools, hospitals, broadband, and power supplies. For much of it, the government is unable or unwilling to foot the bill.
Even the average person on the street is aware of the gaps that need filling. According to ‘State of the Nation 2018: Infrastructure Investment’, a report from the Institution of Civil Engineers, three-quarters of adults believed that the country’s infrastructure improvements needed an injection of capital.

Though Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and husband Prince Harry have bid adieu to life as senior members of the royal family, the duchess revealed that Queen Elizabeth II has always been particularly kind to her during the Sussexes tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.
On the difference between family and business, Meghan said, It s hard for people to distinguish the two because it s a family business, right? So there s the family. And then there s the people that are running the institution. Those are two separate things.
The duchess emphasized the distinction between those two concepts. It s important to be able to compartmentalize that because the queen, for example, has always been wonderful to me, she said. We had one of our first joint engagement together. She asked me to join her and I was on the train . and we had breakfast together that morning.
