Meghan WAS banned from Balmoral after Queen’s death

In his book, Harry also claims that his father told him that Meghan should not come to Balmoral. The Queen was staying at her Scottish estate when she died last September.

The prince wrote: "Then my father called again. He told me I was welcome at Balmoral, but… without her. He started to explain his reasons, but they didn't make any sense at all, and it was disrespectful as well. I did not tolerate it from him.

"Don't even think about talking about my wife like that.

"Repentant, he said, stammering, that he simply didn't want the place to be full of people. Nobody's wife was going to go, not even Kate, he told me, so Meg shouldn't either."

When he says "I did not tolerate it from him", what does he mean exactly?

Like as in he voiced that he felt it wasn't okay , or?

The way "I did not tolerate it from him" is written as a sentence, sounds weird. I'm all for not tolerating things but yeah, sounds weird as a sentence.

Youarethesun · 05/01/2023 23:06

He says ‘I did not tolerate it’

But he did. Harry went. Meghan didn’t.

So he did tolerate it.

Adult children really have no right to tell their parents who to marry and demand a say over their happiness. Demanding that M was there at Balmoral. He’s got no idea at how unreasonable he is portraying the both of them. Hideous behaviour.

Indeed. You’ve got to wonder.

I really believe Harry is having some kind of breakdown. He is not being logic. His Dad had lost his mum. He respects his wishes whether he like it or not. Charles knew it would have been all about Megan and he wanted his sons there. The fact that Harry is rambling on about nothing really and saying things that are so minor and irrelevant is to me showing g he needs help. I really do believe this will not end well. I have gone from feeling angry that he is an entitled over grown privileged child who needs to realise that in order to move forward you have to move on to now aldo feeling pity for him. This shd be the happiest time of his life. He loves his wife and family so go and enjoy them an get some help.

I agree with ya there

GatoradeMeBitch · 05/01/2023 23:07

How can it be true that "no-one's wife" would be there, when Sophie was?

But he did. Harry went. Meghan didn’t.

So he did tolerate it.

Yeah like, I'm lost by that sentence tbh. Because his behaviour showed otherwise.

And is exactly why I say he comes across as disingenuous and full of shite

NewYearNewName2023 · 05/01/2023 23:09

The only person this reflects badly on is Harry himself, for exhibiting such exceptionally poor judgement in thinking it was appropriate that Meghan went in the first place.

Actual blood relatives such as his cousins weren't allowed, so why on earth did he think a granddaughter in law, who didn't really get on with most of his family and had been slagging them off to the world via OW, would be welcome?

I think it’s just because it’s a translation. I assume the English version will be less clunky. I thought the same initially.

winnieanddaisy · 05/01/2023 23:10

@PlinkyPlonk1 i think you will find that Charles didn’t force his two boys to walk behind their mothers coffin , it was totally the fault of the general public . They were with the queen at Balmoral and would have stayed there but , no, that’s not what the public wanted . The queen was a witch because she didn’t immediately return to London to pay her respects to her ex DIL . There was no reason for her and the boys to be in London at that time , they could have come back in time for the funeral and been in a funeral car . That wasn’t good enough, the public wanted the Royal Family not just present but on display . They got what they asked for and now it’s all Charles fault .

Sophie was the Queen’s dil and very close to her. The nearest equivalent to Meghan was Kate, who wasn’t there.

Prescottdanni123 · 05/01/2023 23:11

@BradfordGirl

So the woman who caused the queen all of that trouble in her last few years should have been at her deathbed? Get real.

No grandchildren or grandchildren partners were there apart from William and Harry. That is what the immediate family - probably the queen included wanted and it is only right that it is respected. Harry's biggest beef here is not that partners weren't allowed. It doesn't sound like he cares at all that Kate wasn't there. But that an exception wouldn't be made for Meghan. Like she is somehow more responsible than the majority of the royal family.

That’s a good point. I thought he would have his face in the papers parroting what he has been told to say.

I thought Kare stayed away as it was the Children's first day at a new school.

You're right. It was.

It’s been widely reported that Sophie was particularly close to the Queen so, while I see what you’re saying, I think she’s an exception for that reason.

Because Edward was one of her children and I suspect Anne’s husband was there and so was Camilla, Meghan and Kate are grandchildren’s spouses and this is the issue here! Plus, Sophie, as an aside, was perhaps the closest of all to the Queen.

I mean, Harry has a whole book "slagging off his family". Naming actual names etc.

Megan has not actually done this. It's interesting that despite him actually doing the "slagging off" as you put, it's Megan who is being accused of this.

Sophie was very close to the Queen. None of the grandchildren's spouses were there - in fact only two of her eight grandchildren were there. This is not an appropriate moment for Meghan to be centre stage fgs.

No grandchildren's wives.
And actually the only other DGC was William, Peter wasn't there either.

I think he possibly has foggy memories of a stressful conversation.

DC and their spouses were there

No DGC spouses at all, and only 2 out of 8 of the DGC themselves

How many more times Sophie was the QUEENS daughter in law, and was one of the Queens favourites, they spent a lot of time together. If Meghan had wanted to see the Queen she had all summer to visit her at Balmoral with Harold.

As someone who has been at a parent’s deathbed all I can say is that making that very moment that they leave your world forever… about someone who has known them for five minutes, is absolutely unforgivable. It had nothing to do with her, nothing.

I’m utterly furious for KC that the day was so clearly overshadowed by the behaviour of a sulking man child, who couldn’t even bring himself to have dinner with them because Meghan couldn’t be there??!

Harry has sadly shown himself to be beyond rational thinking and sadly beyond help.

I think he has been completely exploited by Meghan, by Netflix, by his publishers, and by anyone who thinks they can make some money off him. Look at his eyes in the Tom B interview, it has turned him into a suspicious, even paranoid, wreck,

LuluBlakey1 · 05/01/2023 23:18

My PIL and DH's grandma live 5 minutes walk for us. We get on incredibly well and I see them at least 2 or 3 times a week. It would never cross my mind that his grandma, when she dies, would want me present, nor would I wish to be there. She is lovely but I am no relation to her and she has spent 87 of her 90+ years without me in her life. Mil (her DD) will be there and possibly FIL (as she lives with them), possibly DH might see her. She would want her privacy and her daughter.

Get real. Harry is exploiting his damn self.

He's not some impressionable innocent young boy who has been taken over by some demon spirit in the form of his wife.
