Queen Elizabeth might be officially on summer holidays now as she spends time in Balmoral.

But according to one royal expert, Her Majesty will use the down time with her family to school them on how to improve in their royal duties.

Phil Dampier believes in particular, the Queen will chat to Meghan Markle about "things that could have been done better" in the wake of some PR blunders, such as the Wimbledon photo furore.
