According to reports, the late Queen was deeply impressed with four young staff members during the event, prompting her to bestow upon them an exceptionally lavish gift as a token of appreciation.

According to the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden: “I hear that, a couple of days after he married Meghan Markle, four young troopers were busy brushing down and washing their horses in the stables at Windsor when they suddenly felt someone was watching them.”

When they turned around, they had been amazed to see the Queen standing there, he claimed.

He continued: “She told them ‘I am most happy with my boys on the wedding day. You kept the horses at the right distance from the carriage, and there were no accidents or problems with the horses’.”

To show her appreciation, Her Majesty had a very special, extravagant gift for them in 2018.

She allegedly said: “In fact, I’m so pleased with the way you handled the horses that, out of my own purse, I am sending all four of you on holiday to Canada. To stay with the Canadian Mounties.”

The staff members were said to be “thrilled” and had a “wonderful, unexpected break from duties.”

Meghan and Harry were driven in a horse-drawn carriage during their royal wedding which had been pulled by four horses that they had personally selected. A further two horses were outriders during the wedding procession.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also received a very lavish gift from the Queen in celebration of their nuptials. The Queen gave them the keys to Frogmore Cottage, and they moved into the property after it had been extensively renovated in April 2019.

On February 28, 2023, it was exclusively revealed by The Sun that Harry and Meghan were evicted from Frogmore Cottage by King Charles. Their eviction came following the release of Prince Harry’s memoir Spare.
