Harry’s furious message to Charles when Meghan was not invited to see dying Queen
It’s more than two years since the Queen sadly passed away peacefully at Balmoral in Scotland. As the country went into national mourning and the world remembered her incredible reign, the monarch’s official death certificate was released, along with her cause of death – which was listed on the document as simply old age.
While many hoped the Queen’s death would heal the rift between Prince Harry and The Firm, it seems as though the grief-stricken moment simply magnified tensions within the royal family.
Prince Harry previously opened up about a heated discussion he had with his father King Charles on the sad day of his grandmother’s death. Writing in his explosive memoir, Spare, the Duke of Sussex shared details of his race to get to Scotland to be by his grandmother’s bedside, but sadly he didn’t make it before her final breath.
Harry and his wife Meghan Markle were in the UK at the time of the Queen’s passing, as they’d been on a mini tour of Europe.
They were preparing to attend the WellChild Awards in London, when they learned of the decline in Her Majesty’s health. It’s likely Harry would have wanted Meghan by his side in his grief, but in his book he claims that Charles told him not to bring his wife with him to Balmoral.
Furious about the comment, in response, he replied to the now-monarch: “Don’t ever speak about my wife that way.”
