Kate's 'resentment' : Princess was denied a final goodbye with the Queen

"Kate's 'resentment' : Princess was denied a final goodbye with the Queen because she had to stay away from Balmoral to ensure Harry's wife couldn't come, royal author claims"

Kate 'resents' not having final moment to say goodbye to Queen | Daily Mail Online

According to book from Robert Jobson. Charles doesn't come of good in this book....

Her other grandchildren didn’t go either, no Zara and Philip and Eugenie and Beatrice or the other two of Edwards.

Oh please, please, please can they all just go away and Britain can move into the 21st century. We really don’t need these entitled people, nor their petty squabbles.

And yet there is the Andrew Morton book, Diana: Her True Story. Extremely partisan, but not bullshit.

The Sun had an exclusive splash just before Diana married Charles in July 1981 of her meeting him for a sexy assignation on the Royal train which was parked in sidings near his home Highgrove, in Tetbury, Gloucestershire.

There was a grainy long shot of a woman with fluffy blonde hair being hustled on to the train. The Royals didn't dignify the story with a comment. They never do. Diana always let it be known through "friends" that it wasn't her.

Camilla Parker-Bowles is blonde with a fluffy hairstyle and lived near Highgrove at the time. She still does because she retained her marital home on divorce and it is often described as her bolthole, which is completely normal, isn't it? We all maintain large second homes away from our current spouse, don't we?

For a long time I've wondered whether The Sun knew at the time it probably wasn't Diana, or just fell in later. I think they did but it wasn't convenient to say.

And I’m sure the other siblings were just desperate to have a granddaughter-in-law at their mother’s deathbed.

Dh and I have been married far longer than Kate and Wills and I would have no expectation of being allowed a last farewell along with the immediate family. I certainly wouldn’t harbour ‘resentment’ about the whole thing.

If this is true, which is doubtful, then it’s Kate who doesn’t come across well.

This thread is hilarious.

What the actual fuck has any of these ridiculous made up RF stories got to do with Camilla? Who - like her or loathe her - has been nothing but gracious in the face of public hatred and supportive to KC over the years.

Of course no one wanted MM at the funeral or at the upcoming coronation. She has - rightly or wrongly depending on your own viewpoint - made things very difficult for the RF and probably caused a great deal of upset to HMQ in her last months. I wouldn't want her there either if I were KC.

I always wonder if MM and PH regret flouncing out of the RF now that they and their DCs are being excluded from big events and their solo careers perhaps haven't gone the way they thought it might they have resorted to flogging tell all stories to the media for cash.

I actually don't think Harry was supposed to go either. William was there as the heir. The rest were her children and their spouses.

All the other grandchildren (all without their various spouses) came up to Scotland the next day or so, went to church together and looked at the flowers together. It would have made more sense if Harry had joined that gathering.

At the time, I assumed that Harry had been invited ahead of the other grandchildren because he was going to support his father (in his new role) but he didn't actually spend any time with Charles - didn't go to dinner with him and William.

I think the delayed plane was the result of Harry lobbying and arguing that he should go - I don't think it had anything to do with Meghan.

None of the spouses of the grandchildren went to Scotland at all.

Or this could just be a load of bollocks that someone made up. We'll never know.

There would be no reason for a granddaughter-in-law to be there, especially when only 2 grandsons were going. Of course Kate would've stayed home to tell the children, and take the time to prepare for what was going to be one of the biggest events the country had ever seen. Nothing more than using Kate and Meghan to sell a book.

Not more media gossip. It's all made up nonsense to flog things.

Kate was in the right place comforting her children.

I wouldn't want her there either if I were KC.

She never wanted to be there. It's made up nonsense. We are asking why?

The Sun probably knew or at least suspected. It was published as just a small side article and to be honest it attracted little public attention.

@Roussette it was widely reported at the time ( by ALL the media) that Harry wasn't on the same flight as the rest of the family because he was busy arguing with his father and the palace about taking megan with him! As for the rest it's just my opinion of course, speculation the same as yours is that it's nonsense!

@SchoolQuestionnaire That is why I do not think the story is true. You would have to be a bit crazy to think as the wife of a grandchild you had the right to be there. Fine if invited. But normally on death beds it is siblings and children and maybe spouses.

Hmmm but was that just made up BS ? Given the nonsense being spouted about it now in the media with Kate, I imagine it was.
Unless I hear Meghan saying she wanted to be at the Queen's bedside, I take it with a big pinch of salt!

I'm not a fan of H&M and much of the RF if I'm honest but there seems to be an almost tidal wave of these types of stories recently.

Smacks of an orchestrated media campaign prior to the Coronation.

Totally agree.

Look at this ! Look here!

(Don't look here....)

Wasn't it Omid who announced that Harry and Meghan were making their way to Balmoral. I remember hearing it on the early afternoon news, and thinking 'what the hell'. A couple of hours later it was just Harry on the flight.

With regards to whether Kate was upset or not. We will never know, because she won't be making whinging documentaries or writing books - she'll just crack on with her day job. She's a strong woman.

@Roussette I don't know if megan even wanted to go but i think it was more to do with Harry demanding that he be allowed to take her with him!

This is just family disfunction.
If you read mn boards life is full of it.

I think it is family dysfunction and yes mn boards are full of it. I think that's partially why people are so interested. The RF were held up for so long as being the model family, the one to emulate -- I remember this from when I was a child. Women's mags were full of it.

In the 90s with the divorces of three of the Queen's children -- the perfect family model finally fell apart. The perfect family model (not the family) is in it's death throes now. That's a good thing, in my opinion.

This whole elevation of a person, a family over any other by dint of birth is ridiculous and outdated and also pretty shitty.

its funny isn't it. a report that says Kate said/wanted something is quite rightly called out as bullshit. a report that Harry/meghan said/wanted something has to be true.
its all made up rubbish.

Yes, and I have called out the Kate/bedside story as total BS. Even though I'm not a huge fan of the institution

I can not understand how king Charles is not even quite as popular as his mum,

But saying that at first seemed like there would be lots of interest at Queens Jubilee event according to Johnathan Mailand TV presenter TV programme,
Thrn on the day,

Look how many turned up

There is a section of Mumsnet uniquely dedicated to tearing down two women because of words that men have written. It is shameful on both sides, and it is a great shame that a community of women cannot empathise with them and see the male manipulation of their stories

And more stories to come, I expect.
