In a shocking revelation from a new book, it has been claimed that King Charles III may have lied to Prince Harry in order to prevent Meghan Markle from being present at Queen Elizabeth II’s deathbed.
The book, titled “Charles III, New King, New Court: The Inside Story” by royal expert Robert Hardman, sheds light on the events surrounding the late Queen’s passing and the tensions within the royal family.
Queen Elizabeth II was widely regarded as a remarkable woman, having reigned for over 70 years with grace and diplomacy.
It was only fitting that she deserved a peaceful passing.
However, in her final moments, she reportedly did not want to see Meghan Markle, whom she referred to as a “nasty, hateful witch.”
This sentiment is not surprising, considering the stress that Harry and Meghan had caused the late Queen in the final years of her life.
The King, Prince Charles, had the difficult task of honoring his mother’s wishes while dealing with the tensions within the family.
According to the book, he may have had to tell a little fib to ensure Meghan stayed away.
The story goes that when Harry wanted Meghan to accompany him to Balmoral to say his final goodbyes, his father firmly refused.
To convince Harry, Prince Charles informed him that Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, would also not be allowed to join her husband, Prince William.
Eventually, Harry agreed to fly up alone, leaving Meghan behind.
Contrary to popular belief, the decision for Catherine to stay away was not made by the King himself.
It was Catherine’s own choice, as their children were starting a new school the next day.
If it is true that Prince Charles lied to keep Meghan away from the Queen’s bedside, it can be seen as a necessary measure to protect his mother in her final moments.
The late Queen, much like her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, did not appreciate a queue of family well-wishers flocking to her bedside when she was ill.
It is understandable that she would not want Meghan, whom she had a strained relationship with, present during her final moments.
The book suggests that the King’s little white lie made it easier for Harry to accept that he should come alone.
The book also delves into the strained relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry during this time.
While Harry claimed in his own account that William did not answer his texts regarding travel arrangements, it is suggested that William saw it as an inappropriate moment to have a difficult conversation.
The fallout from Harry and Meghan’s interview with Oprah Winfrey had caused significant damage to the family, and many were wary of further confrontations.
One of the perplexing aspects of Harry and Meghan’s behavior is their surprise at the royal family’s distance and lack of engagement.
They openly criticized the family and accused them of racism, yet expected a warm reception.
This lack of understanding of natural consequences has been a recurring theme in their actions.
Harry’s portrayal of the conversation with his father in his book makes him appear immature and petty.
He took offense when Charles expressed his desire to have a small gathering around the Queen, but eventually accepted the decision when he learned Catherine would not be attending either.
However, according to the book, Catherine’s absence was her own choice, driven by the importance of being there for their children on their first day at a new school.
It is worth noting that Harry’s claim of learning about his grandmother’s passing through a BBC news alert on his phone is disputed.
Palace staff members state that the King had been desperately trying to contact Harry, but he was unreachable as he was in the air.
This delay in communication was solely Harry’s fault and could have been avoided if he had taken the news seriously and made immediate arrangements to be by his grandmother’s side.
Some media outlets have criticized Prince Charles for lying to Harry, but it is understandable that he did whatever was necessary to ensure Meghan did not attend the Queen’s deathbed.
The public sentiment toward Harry and Meghan remains largely unsympathetic, as their actions have caused significant damage to the royal family’s reputation.
In conclusion, the new book provides detailed insight into the events surrounding Queen Elizabeth II’s passing and the tensions within the royal family.
It highlights the difficult decisions Prince Charles had to make to honor his mother’s wishes while managing the strained relationship with Harry and Meghan.
The revelations from the book continue to fuel public interest and discussion about the future of the monarchy.
