Meghan WAS banned from Balmoral after Queen’s death

[SnottyLottie]

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."

Wow, you believe everything the press write, then? More fool you.

Meghan was into charity, equal rights etc way before she met Harry.

She is an advocate for those without a

Yet, you think she is untrustworthy because the press bad mouthed her? Because, sadly, Harry's dad and brothers press team didn't like Megan getting all the headlines...

I hope they have many happy years together, I say F those who don't support you, you don't need them. Harry and Megan don't need the Firm hawking them.

Depends if the spouse is respectful and is trusted by the dying person.
After the Oprah interview, unlikely that Meghan would be welcome into someone's most intimate moment.

Someone who would likely sell ''Deathbed scenes'' to highest bidder.

No one would want that.
It is a privilege to be near a person if they want you to be there, but if they don't... then that has to be respected.

It's interesting that someone would choose to say such a thing in their dying moments, if that is the case.
There are surely other more important, personal things to focus on like your chosen loved ones around you.

Saying that, it also wouldn't surprise me as she has said questionable things in the past.

*without a strong voice

There are many families in the same situation every day- a spouse who is not popular trying to attend the death of a relative who doesn't think much of them, making it about them. The family gets the last say- if there is someone that they don't want there, that should be respected, regardless. If that's not something that you can support, and you'd rather support your spouse (Which is also fair) then don't attend. It's simple. Complicate family dynamics aren't solely the realm of the RF.

I am not the only one saying this. 3 of us are on this quote thread alone are saying the same thing.

Of course it wasn't appropriate that Meghan be anywhere near Balmoral at the time the Queen lay dying. Her family had a right to some privacy at her bedside and not to be intruded on by someone who had been relentlessly attacking the family in the media / in interviews / in a book / in podcasts / on a netflix documentary. If Meghan hates the institution and hates his family why on earth does Harry think she had any right to be present.

It wasn't the Queen's death bed, the Queen had already died. It was the family gathering immediately after the Queen had died that Meghan was banned from attending.

Jeez..People suggesting Harold ''Trip out'' on mushrooms to 'Help' with alleged PTSD..I'm sure Harold is no stranger to psilocybin, they grow wild in UK, but tripping when someone is stressed is not the best idea.

Harry can not take responsibility for anything. He blames the Nazi uniform on Kate and William despite the fact he was an adult and they were not actually there when he acquired it, put it on and went to the party. He claims he 'did not know that the word 'pak*' was racist when he was filmed using it to describe a fellow asian officer at Sandhurst. He was also on the same video heard asking other soldiers if they were 'queer or gay' and saying some looked like 'ragheads' . This was after the Nazi uniform incident so he clearly learned nothing from that, despite his protests that it was 'a big lesson learned'.
He's a pathetic specimen of humanity- weak, embittered, vicious, angry, self-obsessed and determined to cause damage to his family.

Agree.

No, the queen hadn’t died at the time of this conversation? It was before the plane took off, and I thought she does whilst they were en route.

It was her death bed. They weren’t to know she would die so quickly.

I think the RF are right not to trust her not to sell their story to the highest bidder, based on the fact that she has done that, to OW, to Netflix, and now to a publishing house. It's nothing to do with the press "bad-mouthing" her.

Kate was with her children who if I remember correctly had just started their first day in Lambrook school. Quite rightly they were her priority, bitter sweet day for them starting in a brand new school & losing their great grandma. Kate had her priorities spot on.

Agree. I keep thinking about my own dysfunctional family, other people i know, and threads on mn and just realise they're the same. Maybe that's what makes it entertaining to think the RF is just like everyone else

What an amazing point! Spot on. Zara was incredibly close to the Queen as were the Wessex children Lady Louisa & Viscount James.. They weren't there either... What rights did Meghan have over the queen's beloved grandchildren?

She’d have requested cameras in.

I’m by no means a monarchist but you can only admire the way they have not tolerated this “rude, difficult and abrasive” character.

The Queen wouldn’t let her bring in the cameras to capture footage of her meeting her grandchild either (great work Ma’am). Naming the child after the young Queen’s nickname doesn't sit right either knowing how calculated the mother is.

I think you're right. His lifetime of bad tempered behaviour, all his indiscretions, drinking, drug taking etc have been covered up for him all his life. I just laugh when he claims the RF weren't protecting them. Hell, they covered up her bullying of her staff, didn't they.

I hope today is the day that everyone sees this sordid pair for how they really are. They are sickening, selfish, vile beings.

Wasn’t it obvious Harry was told MM could not come to Balmoral? Scobie was giving the play-by-play over Twitter and said they were going, then backtracked. I thought everyone understood then that they were told it would not be appropriate. Those announcements were cringe-worthy.

What a non-event. In many families, Harry himself not have been welcome, either after the Oprah debacle. Charles was kind to welcome him. And if Catherine indeed stayed away to smooth things over, that’s a sacrifice she should not have been required to make.

Way to try and make an amazing woman’s death all about you and your wife.

Wouldn’t have banned Harry as that is his beloved grandmother, but under no circumstance would you have let his rude and difficult wife (and her mocking curtsy) anywhere near the body and the grieving family.

EMDR is the best treatment for PTSD, not an unpredictable unstandardised psychoactive drug.

I imagine he might have it, at least from losing his mum young.

I never got that he tried to make a thing of being 'made to' walk behind his mum's coffin though. Like, they had to go into the church somehow, unless they didn't go to their mum's funeral (and he'd probably have moaned about that instead, then.)

The whole Harry thing shows to me how narrow the time frame is between Gen X and Millenials while they're quite different. But then, therapy culture has an impact too. I like therapy but for some people in just makes them more obsessed with their own processes etc. Especially now there's that Californian level to it with Harry etc. I mean, they've had that obsession with self-indulgent attitudes to therapy over there for years.

I imagine it was more about Meghan wanting to support her husband than bag a front row seat at the Queen's bedside. Harry probably wanted Meghan's support at such a difficult, emotional and stressful time for him - especially when things were so tense between him and his father and brother. I can see why he would be very hurt to be told she couldn't go.

@AlmondBake You make him sound like every woman's dream.

Maybe Meghan is one of those on the Relationships board describing her pathetic, self-obsessed, stroppy and annoying husband with MH problems and planning when she can leave.💪

It was just another occasion to record for Netflix, his book or whoever paid the most money. Harry's made such a fool of himself. There's something strange about all the "my wife " references and he's coming across as being so vulnerable but also just downright silly.
