King Charles III Refuses Meghan Markle’s Visit to Dying Queen at Balmoral Castle

Reports have emerged stating that King Charles III has allegedly advised Prince Harry against bringing Meghan Markle to Balmoral Castle to visit the ailing Queen.

The decision reportedly stems from family concerns over the Sussexes' recent actions and apprehensions regarding Harry's upcoming memoir.

It is believed that Charles conveyed this message to Harry during a phone call from the Queen's bedside, while he was at Frogmore.

According to a source, Charles expressed his view that it would be inappropriate for Meghan to be present at Balmoral during such a deeply sorrowful time.

It was also pointed out to him that Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, was not attending, and therefore, only immediate family members should be present.

Charles made it explicitly clear that Meghan would not be welcome at the castle.

Meanwhile, The Telegraph reported that Harry was not initially summoned to join the senior royals on their journey to Balmoral, unlike his brother, Prince William.

This was apparently due to constitutional reasons.

A royal insider also mentioned that spending considerable time with someone who is about to publish a tell-all book about you can be quite challenging.

Another insider added that the general reaction to Harry and Meghan's behavior has been one of disbelief.

Furthermore, Harry was denied a seat on the RAF plane that transported his brother, Prince William, and his uncles, Prince Edward and Prince Andrew, to Scotland.

On Thursday, Harry and Meghan announced their plans to travel to Scotland together without consulting the rest of the family.

However, Harry ultimately agreed to make the trip alone after discussions.

Consequently, he had to arrange his own mode of transportation, resulting in a delay that caused him to arrive at Balmoral at 7:52 pm, almost 90 minutes after the public announcement of the Queen's passing.

A fellow passenger on Harry's flight shared that he appeared deeply contemplative throughout the entire hour-long journey, clearly reflecting on the loss of his beloved grandmother.

It was disheartening to witness him without the presence of other members of the royal family to offer comfort.

One can only hope that the Queen's demise will facilitate the healing of their rifts.

However, following Charles' conversation with Harry, it was later announced that Harry would be making the trip alone.

It is understood that Harry initially considered flying by helicopter before arranging for a private jet.

Nonetheless, due to being denied a seat on the royals' plane, which departed from RAF Northall at 2:39 pm and landed in Aberdeen at 3:50 pm, Harry experienced a significant delay.

The Falcon jet, dazzlingly empty with twelve unoccupied seats, carried only seven passengers: William, Andrew, Edward, Sophie (Edward's wife), and three aides.

It is worth noting that the royals had all traveled from their residences near Windsor Castle and would have passed close to Frogmore Cottage.

Prince William was residing less than half a mile away at Adelaide Cottage, while Prince Andrew was three miles away in his Royal Lodge home.

Prince Edward and Sophie were just a fifteen-minute drive from Frogmore at Bagshot Park.

Notably, William returned to Windsor separately from Harry, further highlighting the growing divide between the once-close brothers.

Currently, they are residing in neighboring cottages, but communication between them is said to be minimal, if any.

While Charles, William, and Harry all departed for London in the morning, Anne, Edward, Sophie, and Andrew remained in Scotland.
