It was a somber moment for the royal family and the entire nation as Queen Elizabeth II peacefully passed away at her Scottish residence, Balmoral Castle, on September 12, 2022.

With a reign that lasted 70 years, the Queen was surrounded by her loved ones during her final moments.

Among those present were her son and successor, King Charles III, her grandson and heir apparent, Prince William, and his wife Catherine, the Princess of Wales.

However, noticeably absent from the Queen’s deathbed was Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, who had been married to Prince Harry, William’s brother, since 2018.

Despite their invitation to the Queen’s funeral, Meghan and Harry were not present during her last moments.

The reason for this exclusion was finally revealed by Prince William himself in his explosive memoir, Spare, published in January 2023.

In the book, William claimed that Meghan had been banned from Balmoral by his father, Charles, due to the Queen’s final wish.

According to William, the Queen confided in him that she did not want Meghan present at her deathbed because she neither trusted nor respected her.

Allegedly, the Queen described Meghan as a liar, manipulator, and diva who had alienated Harry from his family and the public, thus tarnishing the monarchy’s reputation.

Furthermore, the Queen accused Meghan of lying, bullying, and exploiting her royal status for personal gain.

She also criticized Meghan for being a fake feminist who weaponized her husband and her race.

The Queen referred to Meghan as a parasite who relied on the royal family and taxpayers, and as someone who believed she was a celebrity despite being a nobody.

William agreed with his grandmother’s assessment of Meghan and claimed to have warned Harry about her, albeit unsuccessfully.

He witnessed Meghan’s narcissistic and controlling behavior firsthand, observing how she manipulated and isolated Harry from his friends and family.

William also disclosed that Meghan had attempted to contact the Queen and Charles, urging them to allow her to be present at Balmoral.

However, her calls and messages went unanswered.

Meghan even threatened to sue them for discrimination and defamation, but her demands were not met.

Proud of his father for standing up to Meghan and honoring the Queen’s last wish, William expressed sympathy for Harry, who he believed had fallen victim to Meghan’s manipulation.

He hoped that one day, Harry would recognize the truth and reconcile with his family.

William’s memoir sparked significant controversy and backlash, particularly from Meghan’s supporters and fans.

They accused him of jealousy, bitterness, and racism, questioning the authenticity and accuracy of his claims.

Some suggested that he fabricated these allegations to boost book sales and tarnish Meghan’s reputation.

In response, Meghan released a statement denying all of William’s accusations and labeling him a liar, bully, and coward.

She professed her love and respect for the Queen, expressing her desire to be by her side during her final moments.

Meghan claimed that Charles and William conspired against her and Harry, banning and blocking them.

She announced her intention to sue William for libel and slander, promising to expose his own dark secrets and scandals in her upcoming memoir, scheduled for release later that year.

She emphasized her happiness and freedom in California, asserting that they no longer needed the royal family or the monarchy.

The feud between William and Meghan, which had already been ongoing prior to the Queen’s passing, reached new heights following the publication of their memoirs.

There seemed to be no end in sight for the conflicting stories and accusations exchanged between them.

The royal family and the public found themselves divided and polarized, wondering if reconciliation was even possible.
