King Charles's Reaction to Meghan Markle's Balmoral Visit Plan on Queen's Death Day
On the day of Queen Elizabeth's death in 2022, King Charles reportedly expressed anger upon learning of Meghan Markle's intention to accompany Prince Harry to Balmoral. According to Tom Bower's biography 'Betrayal', Charles found Meghan's plan 'unacceptable' due to the Queen's disappointment with the Sussexes' previous criticisms of the monarchy. The biography suggests that Meghan's absence was due to her past refusals of the Queen's invitations to Balmoral. The Sussexes' spokesperson has dismissed these claims as 'deranged conspiracy and melodrama'. Prince Harry, in his memoir 'Spare', also recounts a conversation with King Charles about Meghan's intended visit, describing the reasons given for her staying behind as 'disrespectful'.
