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."

Well, quite. The needs and wishes of the dying person and those closest to them (in this case, her children) are more important than the ego of one estranged grandchild and their wife. This is another point where I shake I head and wonder if Harry can possibly see what all this says about him.

I don't blame Charles for wanting to minimise the number of people at Balmoral. It wasn't the time or place for grandchildrens spouses to turn up.

Just as well Harry got there late otherwise I’m sure we would have details of how the Queen died and who was closest to her when she died and if it wasn’t him then he would have complained

What a tool.

It’s not for him to overrule his dying grandmother’s wishes or his dad’s wishes when dealing with his mother dying/just having died.

I wouldn’t dream of arguing with my parent in those circumstances even if I was super-duper close to my grandparent. Nor would I take it as a slight on me or my other half. And that’s in a scenario where my spouse and I haven’t been publicly bitching and moaning about the family for years.

Were you writing a ‘tell all’ book at the time and a six part Netflix documentary after having already fallen out with the family? They had good reason to suspect anything they did/said would be up for sale - and they would have been right. Not what you want when grieving for your mother.

Because. Everything is a problem.

Even less reason for people to make fun of him if that is the case.

Exactly this. Imagine knowing that their only way of making money is selling stories on the family, you'd hardly be like 'Welcome to fold' especially at a time when emotions are running high.

Sounds reasonable to me, she wasn't welcome and fair play to his dad for saying it.

My DF didn’t want a death bed scene when he was dying.

IIRC William, Edward and Sophie didn't arrive in time anyway - so even if Harry hadn't had a hissy fit and been delayed and had travelled with them, he wouldn't have been there in time anyway.

Lots weren't there. The rest of the grandchildren for a start. Was Tim Lawrence there? Sophie was there because she was a second daughter to the Queen.

It really isn't always about them

They were going to the Quern’s house. Her house, her rules.

Am pretty certain that is what happened!

I actually passed Harry's car travelling to Balmoral. The Queen's death had been announced after he landed inAberdeen but not before the long drive. He looked distraught. You couldn't help but notice. I,had just glanced round as the car drew up beside mine. I felt very sorry for him. I felt very sorry for all the family. She was their mum and Granny before she was the country's queen.
He really appears to have lost his way now. He is looking for slights in every situation. He appears to think that every decision is to make himself or his wife look bad or to harm them. I really worry about how much he is breaking himself off from the rest of them family. Those brothers were so very close and have been through so much. How can their relationship ever recover. No matter what the truth is and where the blame lies, it is very sad that they no longer have that strong bond.

Well said, I totally agree.

Let's hope Meghan and Harry don't attend any further occasions or situations involving the Royal Family. Harry and Meghan are a disgrace.

I feel embarrassed for them. Shameful behaviour bleating to the press.

Quite frankly, I can’t imagine Anne would have wanted her their either. Anne is famously direct to the point, I’d love to be a fly on the wall for her response to this,

In response to a PP saying H might be having a breakdown.

I say this seriously. I think you may be right. He is like a time bomb, and has been for longer than Meghan has been around IMO. I am starting to think he does have PTSD, both from his childhood and his military service.

The good news is, here in the US, several states have loosened the legality of having psilocybin (mushrooms). There are a ton of studies that are showing microdosing helps ex-military with PTSD.

If he is serious about getting better, he will find an amazing therapist and doctor that can treat his PTSD,

I think I remember that but believed you as I too had a contact who said the same thing .

All these people showing empathy for a 70+ year old man losing his mother...

When did that man show empathy to his 12 year old son, parading him in front of millions of people after the death of that child's mother. That's what's disgraceful!

'He started to explain his reasons, but they didn't make any sense at all,'

So what were the reasons? Are they stated anywhere? Or not stated because they were perhaps valid.

Harry and Meghan had refused an invitation to Balmoral. They could have seen the Queen before she died but chose not to, yet they wanted to be there at her death. I'm sure the pair of them had caused a lot of pain and anguish for the Queen in her final year.

I don't know any family where partners were there for a relative's death. Spouse, children definitely, but not partners of grandchildren FFS. It's not a fucking cocktail party.

And once again, Harry and Meghan make the death of the Queen all about themselves.

I flip between feeling sorry for Harry and thinking he's a complete twat.

The flight from the South East to Aberdeen took off later than planned. i thought this was because Harry was arguing about Meghan travelling with them and when it wasn't resolved quickly they left without him.

If this is the case then this is another way he has pissed other people in the family off as I bet they all just wanted to start moving.

Wasn't it the public that demanded that? Does no one remember what the public were like during that time, the press turned on the RF to deflect from themselves and it worked
