Meghan Markle's reaction to British politician's gift revealed

Prince Harry's wife Meghan Markle "snubbed" Penny Mordaunt's precious gift and plea for support, the British politician has claimed.

The Lord President of the Council, 51, said she sent a handcrafted necklace to the Duchess of Sussex as a gesture of support when she was new to the royal family, but did not receive a response.

Mordaunt suggested that the Duchess was also approached by other politicians: "She had a lot of support from parliamentarians, a lot of people wrote to her and wanted to support her."

The MP admitted that she tried to connect with the former Suits actress by gifting her a necklace that was made by human trafficking survivors.

Mordaunt added: "I wanted to demonstrate to her the opportunity she had and what she could potentially do."

When asked if she received a response, she told The Times: "No I didn't, but it was worth a try."
