King Charles Urges Prince Harry to Stay Away from Balmoral Castle Amid Queen’s Illness
In a recent report, it has been revealed that King Charles requested Prince Harry not to bring his wife, Meghan Markle, to Balmoral Castle as he and other senior members of the royal family rushed to be by the dying Queen's side.
This personal family tragedy occurred on Thursday when the Queen passed away at the age of 96.
Coincidentally, Harry and Meghan were already in the country, sparing Harry the emotional turmoil of a transatlantic journey as his grandmother's health deteriorated.
Despite the strained relationships of the past few years, it is understandable that Harry would want to mourn the loss of his beloved grandmother.
The Queen and Harry shared a warm and loving relationship, and no one would deny him the opportunity to grieve.
However, amidst the concerns for the ailing monarch, the Sussexes caused quite a stir behind the scenes by announcing their plans to travel to Balmoral.
Prince Harry received a call from his father, Charles, while he was at Frogmore Cottage.
Charles expressed that it would be inappropriate for Meghan to join them at Balmoral during such a deeply sad time.
He reminded Harry that even Kate Middleton, Prince William's wife, would not be attending, emphasizing the need to limit the number of people present to only the closest family members.
Charles made it abundantly clear that Meghan would not be welcome.
Additionally, the Telegraph reported that Harry was not initially summoned to Balmoral when other senior royals made their way there.
This was due to constitutional reasons, unlike his brother William, who was called upon.
A royal insider also mentioned that spending time with someone who is about to publish a tell-all book about you can be quite challenging.
The general reaction to Harry and Meghan's behavior has been one of surprise and disappointment.
During his first address to the nation as monarch, King Charles bestowed the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales upon his eldest son, Prince William, and his wife, Kate Middleton.
With Catherine by his side, William, our new Prince of Wales, will undoubtedly continue to inspire and lead national conversations, bringing attention to important issues.
Although King Charles expressed his love for Harry and Meghan, body language expert Adrienne Carter noticed a slight discomfort when discussing his distant son.
However, he made sure to show his affection for the couple and acknowledged their efforts to build their lives overseas.
Carter also observed the evident emotion displayed by King Charles when speaking about his late mother.
His eyes became watery, and his skin changed color, clearly showing his heartfelt connection to her.
The sense of loss was palpable in his speech, further revealing his deep sadness.
Carter concluded that the speech was powerful and a fitting start to King Charles' reign, something his mother would have been immensely proud of.
The short speech was broadcasted on TV and streamed at St Paul's Cathedral as part of a remembrance service for the Queen.
Over 2,000 people attended the service, including government officials and members of the public.
However, no members of the royal family were present in the chapel.
