Let’s face it, Meghan Markle has always been the kind of person who marches to the beat of her own drum. Since joining the royal family, she’s made it clear that she’s not just going to fall in line with the traditional way of doing things. And now, as she prepares for motherhood, she's already shaking things up in a big way. According to insiders, Meghan is planning to raise her first child as a vegan, a decision that's caused a bit of a stir in Buckingham Palace.
Breaking Royal Tradition: Meghan's Vegan Baby Plan
“Meghan is continuing to ruffle feathers in the palace after telling Queen Elizabeth that she wants the baby to be vegan,” an insider exclusively tells Closer Weekly. “She sent the palace’s chef a list of rules when it comes to feeding her baby, and it has not gone down well with the queen.” It seems Meghan is determined to give her child the healthiest start possible, but this idea might not be sitting well with everyone in the royal household.
Now, you’d think the Queen, being the head of the family, would be the first to know about such a major decision, right? Well, it turns out that wasn’t exactly the case. Our source reveals that the 92-year-old monarch only learned about Meghan’s plans from palace staff. That’s right—second-hand information, folks!

Queen Elizabeth's Reaction: Not Everyone's Onboard
“There aren’t any strict vegans in the royal family, and the queen wants to keep it that way!” the insider continues. “She doesn’t think it’s right for the baby to be brought up on a purely plant-based diet.” While Prince Philip’s wife may not agree with Meghan’s plans, she’s hoping that the former actress will change her mind—preferably sooner rather than later.
Meghan's Vision for Her Child's Future
“Like many first-time moms, Meghan wants everything to be perfect and has very strict ideas about how the baby will be raised,” the source adds. “The queen is hoping that once Meghan gives birth, she’ll come to her senses and realize that the baby should have a broader diet.” It’s clear that Meghan’s vision for her child’s upbringing is rooted in her desire to provide the healthiest, most natural lifestyle possible, but only time will tell if her plans will stick.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about Meghan’s commitment to a healthy lifestyle for her child. A friend of Prince Harry’s wife once told People: “She’s being mindful of what she puts in her body and on her skin, even her at-home cleaning supplies. She’s hyperaware of what she’s using. She’s looking for natural things. She eats cleaner, and she’ll probably make her own baby food.” In short, it seems Meghan is preparing for a clean-living lifestyle for her baby.
Regardless of the controversy, it’s clear that Meghan wants her child to have the healthiest start possible—and who can blame her for that?
