Royal Rift: Meghan Markle's Exclusion from Queen Elizabeth II’s Deathbed Drama
The Palace Scandal: The Untold Story of Prince Harry and Meghan's Drama-Filled Days
It's been three years since the world lost its beloved Queen Elizabeth II, but the Royal Family is still reeling from the aftermath. And if you thought it was all about mourning and tributes, think again! Behind the scenes, a dramatic saga unfolded involving Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, sparking a series of tense moments that left many royal watchers on the edge of their seats.
The drama began when the Queen's health started to decline in September 2022. Harry and Meghan, who were in the country at the time, announced that they would be traveling to Balmoral to join the Royal Family. But little did anyone know that this simple statement would spark a firestorm within the Palace walls.
The "Not-So-Welcome" Guest
According to royal sources, King Charles III had allegedly told Harry not to bring Meghan with him to the Queen's deathbed in Balmoral. Yes, you read that right! The Prince of Wales reportedly believed it wasn't right or appropriate for Meghan to be there at such a sorrowful time. And why? Well, apparently because Kate Middleton, William's wife, wouldn't be attending either.
This bombshell revelation left many wondering if the Palace was playing favorites or simply trying to keep things in the family. After all, Harry and Meghan had already made it clear that they wanted to be part of the Queen's final moments. But alas, their plans were foiled by the Palace's strict rules.
The Quick Backpedal
When the news broke, there was a flurry of activity behind the scenes as the Palace scrambled to clarify things. A Sussex spokesperson hastily announced that only Harry would be traveling to Scotland "at the moment." Ah, but what does that really mean? Was it a veiled attempt to distance Meghan from the Queen's bedside, or just a strategic move to avoid further controversy?
As we all know, Harry and Meghan are no strangers to drama. In fact, they've made a career out of breaking royal protocol and speaking their minds. But this time, even they seemed taken aback by the Palace's response.
Harry Speaks Out
In his memoir, Spare, Prince Harry reveals that he was devastated when he found out about his grandmother's passing. "When the plane started to descend I saw that my phone lit up," he writes. "It was a message from Meg: 'Call me when you get this.'" And what did Meghan say? Well, according to Harry, she simply asked him to call her back.
It's clear that this period was one of immense sadness and loss for the couple. But amidst all the grief, there were whispers of tension between them and their royal relatives. Insiders claim that Kate Middleton struggled with hosting the joint walkabout in Windsor just days after the Queen's passing.
The Aftermath: Was it a PR Stunt or Genuine Healing?
Fast-forward to today, and it seems like the Palace is finally trying to put the past behind them. King Charles III is expected to meet Harry for the first time in 20 months this month, and the Duke of Sussex will attend the WellChild Awards – a charity event he's always been passionate about.
But what's really behind this sudden change of heart? Is it genuine healing or just another PR stunt? One thing's for sure: the Royal Family still has a long way to go in mending fences with the Sussexes. After all, as Meghan so candidly put it, "The longest I went without being around our kids was almost three weeks. I was not well."
And there you have it – the untold story of Prince Harry and Meghan's drama-filled days amidst the Queen's passing. Was it a Palace power play or just plain old-fashioned family politics? Whatever the reason, one thing's for sure: this is one royal saga that's far from over!
