@orangedalmatian what makes you think Kate had more right to be there over the queens actual children and grandchildren?

Meghan never said she wanted to be there so your point is irrelevant

Well she might have done. We don’t know. Same with Catherine. And to be fair, if Meghan had no intention of going, what was with all the plane shenanigans? Also, as pp said, Scobie announced they were both going initially. So it could be true. Or not. In the same way as Catherine being resentful. Or not.

Supporting her husband? Not necessary to be at the bedside, but just to be waiting nearby for him. That's how I would feel and I'm sure that's normal.

orangedalmatian · 18/04/2023 09:29

As Harry used the queens deathbed in his book, it's obvious it would have been used as a money spinner.

@Roussette as i have pointed out before and you repeatedly choose to ignore it was HARRY having the tantrum about megan going with him to Balmoral! No one actually knows if she wanted to or not!

I remember Sarah being criticised for being the face of weightwatchers. But as she said she had to earn a living. In the divorce she was only given statutory child maintenance on the basis of Andrews salary (his salary about £40k in current amounts), a house and school fees for the girls. That was not enough for anyone to live on, she had to work.

Really? She only got basic CMS payments based on his technical salary, and nothing from all the rest of the Royal money he had access to?

If true, that is really incredibly stingy, akin to these “self-employed” fathers who hide their income to dodge paying maintenance. And while my opinion of Andrew is already as low as it is possible to be, my opinion of the Queen (who presumably signed off on the divorce agreement) has fallen.

The thread is about MEGHAN stopping Kate going up to Balmoral. Read the link?

Could you imagine the next piece of shitflix crap...'I was there as the queen was dying. (Breathy voice, tilted head) I held her hand and she whispered to me, you're the best thing that ever happened to this family, my dear meghan'. Followed by further revelations on the reactions of the family at their mother/grandmothers death. Sure, like Charles wanted someone who used his mother and his family, to make dollars by exposing and lying about them, anywhere near.

Catherine isn't stupid, she would have known this was for the best for the family and she would have put that first. Would she have liked to have been there by her husband's side as his grandmother passed? What do you think? Is it likely she resents the woman who's behaviour prevented that. Probably. However her private view doesn't deserve to be used in a vile attack on Meghan just to generate the same type of dirty money Oprah et al generated.

utter bulshit. as Rousette said Meghan has never said she wanted to be there.

maybe she wanted to travel with H to support him, that would be normal.

gettingoldisshit · 18/04/2023 09:52

@Roussette yes i know exactly what the thread is about! No one actually knows if megan wanted to go or not but even if she didn't she was still the reason that supposedly kate couldn't go! Because megans spoiled, manchild husband was busy demanding she be allowed to go and because of her past behaviour the RF didn't want her there clearly!

Samcro · 18/04/2023 09:57

Kate didn't go because her youngest started school that day. why oh why do people want to re write history.

Sudeko · 18/04/2023 10:07

I wonder who briefed Omid 🤔
Of course she had no place being there and the queen would very clearly have set out her wishes in writing at an earlier date. The others were just making sure that her precise wishes were respected.
Why are posters projecting their banal circumstances onto the situation involving a royal family, a Netflix deal, a four book deal, an estranged daughter in law and a big, big bank.

Well how the hell do you know any of this either? How do you know what the queens wishes were? Or that her children prioritised them? You have no idea. Neither does anyone else here. It’s not that unusual in less uptight cultures for the entire extended families to be there as someone passes so isn’t that inappropriate in many many commonwealth countries cultures. If it is in British culture, fine. But some people will take a different view and that may have included Harry, or not.

Sudeko · 18/04/2023 10:14

She couldn't have gone along to support him. It wasn't some busy urban hospital. You can't pop along in a private jet to a high security stately home in the middle of nowhere to 'support someone' without ending up inside and being exposed to a situation that the deceased specifically wished to keep you away from.
There were press cameras at all the entrances. Would she have been sat in a car somewhere next to the paparazzi vehicles? That argument doesn't make any sense.

Well that was the "official reason" but none of us know the truth unless harry decides to betray his family in a book again obviously. The palace are known for saying things that aren't strictly true and they were hardly going to say " oh she couldn't come because the family doesn't want megan there" were the?

It is extremely common to draft up these documents well in advance along with a living will and POA documents, not just for kings and queens but for many commoners, specifying in great detail what their deathbed scene should look like and who could be present, who should definitely not be present.
The queen was never normally at Balmoral in the autumn. She knew from her physician that the end was drawing close and she would have chosen to return there to die. I'm sure some book will come out sooner or later confirming this obvious information.
It is certain that those were the queen's stated wishes. If it had been up to any of the others, they would not have had any authority to come together to decide to keep one person away.
It was poor form to get your mouthpiece journalist to tweet untrue things when a monarch is dying which you already know contradicts their wishes. But then again, they would always say that it was then men in grey suits influencing the queen, not possible that she had her own reservations.

It is not certain. You have no idea. Seriously, how could you?

Whaeanui · 18/04/2023 10:40

This is the part of the book Harry talks about it. Following from visiting his mothers grave and taking Meghan for the first time days before. I had a similar experience when my DH took me to his mothers grave for the first time, whom he had lost as a child also. It’s very emotional.
This whole ‘he was having a tantrum’ narrative is in your own minds. His father was rude about it, he told him that was unacceptable to speak that way, his father apologised and said they didn’t want lots of people around. Harry said, that’s all you needed to say. Simple. Both the media and the so-called royal fans are the ones that made this into a bigger thing than it was. Harry spoke of it only after many column inches. This family can’t even find a way to mourn while dealing with awkward family relationships without this ridiculous picking over by the public to turn into some giant story for your entertainment. May I remind you, somebody died. Their mother and grandmother.

You don't know any more than I do whether she wanted to go or not. As their fame rests on proximity to the RF its likely, as she was in the UK anyway, even if it was just to hold harrys hand. My point is she made up a lot of stories, so she could easily have exploited the queens death (as did harry in his book) for money. Thats what they've done for 2+ years.

mixedrecycling · 18/04/2023 10:55

Given there were no other grandchildren 'welcome' there are various plausible explanations.

William presumably went due to his place in the succession. Harry because Charles loves both his sons and wanted them there OR invited Harry because otherwise Harry would run to the media with a sob story.

Kate didn't go because:

  • grandchildren-in-law weren't welcome OR
  • her children were starting a new school OR
  • no-one wanted Meghan, and if Kate went but Meghan was banned then H&M would run to the media with a sob story

None of which adds up to Kate being devastated and resentful about not being there.

purpledalmation · 18/04/2023 10:57

Harry's own word's says the family didn't want her there. The RF know how bad it would have looked if Kate went and she didn't, so kate lost out on supporting her DH, and William lost out on her support. I can see some reason for resentment. Same sort of resentment I'd feel in her shoes. Not life changing but confirming a dislike they both feel for each other.

purpledalmation · 18/04/2023 10:58

@mixedrecycling Exactly, totally agree.

Annoying that the press are putting yet another shitty spin on it all. Makes kate and meghan look bad but they don't care if it sells.

Well I'm waiting for the story to come out about Kate & Meghan being secretly in love & planning to run off into the sunset & live happily ever after & that's why the brothers fell out.
Harry blamed Kate & William blamed Meghan.
And Rose Hanbury was the decoy.
But it was actually both women's shared love of corgis that started the blossoming love affair between Meghan & Kate.
Apart from ditching their husbands for each other the only fly in the ointment was who was going to donate the egg, who was going to carry the baby & which royal would be the sperm donor.

You heard it here first.

A more believable story is Kate had the hots for Harry and was put out when Meghan came on the scene.

Yes because Harry is well known to be a bastion of truth and not in any way prone to twisting the narrative to make himself/Megan look like the victims!
