Harry in Shock as Catherine Chooses Not to Attend Queen’s Funeral
In a surprising turn of events, Prince Harry was left in deep shock when he discovered that his sister-in-law, Catherine, had made the personal decision not to attend the Queen's funeral.
This revelation comes from a fascinating new biography by Royal biographer Robert Hardman.
While Harry had been upset with his father, Prince Charles, for requesting that he come to Scotland alone, leaving Meghan behind, he found solace in the news that Kate would also not be present.
However, what Harry didn't know was that the King had not asked Kate to stay away; she had made that choice herself.
Kate decided to remain at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor with her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
The reason behind her decision was that the children were starting their new school, Lambrook, on September 8th, and she believed it was important for them to have one parent with them during this transition.
Meanwhile, Prince William rushed to Scotland to be by his grandmother's side, accompanied by the then Earl and Countess of Wessex and the Duke of York.
It was a fortunate coincidence that Kate had chosen to stay back, as it made it easier to inform Harry that he would be attending the funeral alone.
According to the book, Queen Elizabeth, much like her late husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, preferred not to have a queue of family members visiting her while she was ill.
In this context, Catherine's decision to prioritize her children's needs was the right call.
With Charles ascending to the throne, William would be occupied with numerous meetings and planning sessions.
Catherine understood this and chose to be where she was needed most.
Her selflessness was in stark contrast to Harry and Meghan, who seemed to only think of themselves.
In his memoir, Harry claims that he texted his older brother to inquire about travel arrangements, but William did not respond.
It is evident that William did not consider this an appropriate time to have the difficult conversation he needed to have with his brother.
The family, still reeling from the Sussexes' reckless betrayal following their Oprah Winfrey interview, approached the situation with caution.
Kensington Palace asserts that Harry's team had all the necessary contact details, but no call was made.
It was during a subsequent call from Charles that Harry alleges he was told to come without Meghan.
One can only imagine the trepidation with which Charles approached this conversation.
The Sussexes were known for taking offense easily, and everyone was aware that any discussion could potentially become public knowledge, as it did three months later.
Harry expressed his anger towards his father over Meghan, describing him as nonsensical and disrespectful.
However, it is ironic that Harry believes he is entitled to speak freely about others' wives while defending his own.
If Meghan truly possessed good moral standards, she would not allow her husband to speak to his father in such a manner, especially on the day of his grandmother's passing.
In fact, she would be the one holding him accountable and sending him to Balmoral.
Ultimately, Harry and Meghan's reaction stemmed from their wounded narcissistic egos.
They believed that William and Catherine were being granted privileges denied to them.
This perspective is a harsh critique of Meghan and Harry, suggesting that Meghan would have made the late Queen's death all about herself, much like how Harry made it all about him.
