Jill Biden Furious as Meg Secretly Records US President for Netflix After Queen’s Funeral
In a surprising turn of events, First Lady Jill Biden was left fuming after discovering that Meghan Markle had secretly recorded the US President for a Netflix project following the Queen's funeral.
The request made by Prince Harry and Meghan to ride back to the United States on Air Force One was promptly denied by the White House, fearing it would cause unnecessary commotion.
This incident comes after months of strained relations between the couple and the royal family, highlighted in their interview with Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry's memoir Spare.
It all started when Jill Biden was invited to attend Harry's Invictus Games, but the idea was swiftly dismissed due to concerns about potentially offending the royal family.
Fast forward to the Queen's passing on September 8th, 2020, and subsequent funeral on September 19th, Harry and Meghan found themselves in the United Kingdom for charity engagements.
However, they were disinvited from a pre-funeral reception at Buckingham Palace, where foreign royals and world leaders, including Joe and Jill Biden, were welcomed by King Charles and Queen Camilla.
The couple was left bewildered by this decision, causing further tension.
Amidst this turmoil, Harry and Meghan's staff reached out to the White House, hoping to secure a ride back to the United States on Air Force One.
The image of them ascending the famous Blue and White 747 alongside the President and First Lady would have been a grand spectacle.
Unfortunately for them, the request was met with an immediate rejection.
Sources reveal that there was little discussion on the matter, as it was deemed a non-starter.
The potential commotion it would cause and the strain it would put on relations with the palace and the new king were significant factors in the decision.
Interestingly, sources also indicate that the Bidens were perplexed by Meghan and Harry's request for another reason.
Not only did the couple seek to gain more fame from the President, but they also intended to bring along a Netflix camera crew to document the Queen's funeral.
This request was deemed highly unusual and in violation of palace regulations.
Joe and Jill Biden were not willing to take such a risk, as Meghan's intention to use the President as a laughingstock for taxpayers became apparent.
Furthermore, the plane lacked the necessary space for the couple's filming equipment.
Both the White House and Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the matter, and a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess remained silent as well.
While the Bidens have the authority to invite individuals aboard Air Force One, questions would have arisen regarding who would bear the cost of Harry and Meghan's travel.
Additionally, even if the couple managed to sneak a camera into Britain, any footage obtained would be unusable.
The possibility of capturing home videos on their phones was considered, but it seemed unlikely.
This incident is not the first attempt by the Sussexes to collaborate with the Bidens.
They had previously extended invitations to the First Lady for the Invictus Games held in The Hague, Netherlands, in April 2022.
However, Jill Biden hesitated and ultimately decided against attending, with concerns arising about potential harm to the palace if she were present.
In the end, Jill Biden's anger towards Meghan's secret recording and the denied request to ride on Air Force One highlights the strained relationship between the couple and the royal family.
The aftermath of the Queen's funeral continues to reveal the complexities and tensions that exist within these high-profile circles.
