Prince Harry's girlfriend Meghan Markle didn't have "time" to meet the Queen and Prince Charles during her recent visit to England.

The 35-year-old actress - who confirmed she was dating the 32-year-old royal last week - recently jetted over to England, and although a plan was supposedly in place for the 'Suits' star to meet with her beau's grandparents her trip was cut short on Thursday due to work commitments, which forced her to miss out on the family gathering and fly home to Toronto, Canada, immediately.

Speaking about the brunette beauty's vacation and failure to meet the 90-year-old monarch to The Daily Express newspaper, an insider said: "It was only a mini-break because she's got filming commitments.

"There's been a lot of talk of her being introduced to the Queen and Prince Charles but there simply hasn't been time."

Although Meghan has only been living in Canada for a few years, she has been pleasantly surprised by how much she enjoys leaving there.

Speaking previously, the Los Angeles-born star said: "I've enjoyed living in Canada [where 'Suits' is filmed] for the past five years."

Meanwhile Meghan - who divorced from Trevor Engelson in 2013 after two years of marriage - has revealed her mantra is to not follow something through until the end or drag something out unnecessarily if she doesn't think it will last for a long time in the future.

Speaking previously about the motto's she believes in, she said: "My mantra is, 'Don't give it five minutes if you're not going to give it five years.'

"[And] there's a great quote from the artist Georgia O'Keeffe that resonates with me: ' I have already settled it for myself so flattery and criticism go down the same drain, and I am quite free."
