![]() ![]() “Charles told Harry that it wasn’t right or appropriate for Meghan to be in Balmoral at such a deeply sad time,” a source told The Sun. The Daily Mail’s royal editor Rebecca English has reported that Buckingham Palace was left “incredulous” when this news was announced. Initially, it was announced that Harry and Meghan would be dashing north too. When news of Her Majesty’s declining health broke on Thursday, the Queen’s children and William rushed to be by her side in Scotland, travelling by private jet. Chris Jackson – WPA Pool/Getty Imagesįor Harry and Meghan, the way the last few days have played out look like a humiliating example of one’s chickens coming home to roost, writ on a global scale and with TV cameras constantly watching. It is believed the Prince of Wales extended the invitation to his brother. Meghan fiddled with her hair and at some points seemed to remain a little further away from the group. Sure, the quartet all travelled there together in the same SUV with William behind the wheel, but the minute they stepped out the dynamic between them appeared unmistakably awkward. Is it anyone then that on Sunday in Windsor even Meghan, a professionally trained actress who has years of experience pretending for the cameras, looked decidedly uncomfortable? (I’d be tempted to say something here about karma but I’ll refrain.) No one could have predicted that instead of spending this week giving self-involved speeches, they have instead been forced to come face-to-face with the very people they have so energetically and publicly assailed. Instead of the Sussexes enjoying whatever it is they might normally do on a weekend (make their own oat milk? Update their dream journals? Ignore calls from Netflix execs wondering where all their shows might be given their huge cheque has long since cleared?), Harry and Meghan have found themselves dumped back in the lion’s den. “I'm so glad I didn't then because I could just authentically be myself without so much preparedness.It comes two weeks after Meghan’s bombshell interview with The Cut. “It's so funny if I look back at it now because now I know so much.” In fact, she’s happy she wasn’t trained from the beginning. Of course, these days, Meghan is well-versed in the ways of the royal family. “But that formality carries over on both sides. “There is a forward-facing way of being and then you close the door and you relax now,” she said. She explained that she assumed the strict etiquette rules were just for public consumption. “I'd start to understand very quickly that the formality on the outside, carried through on the inside,” Meghan said. Either way, the incident ending up being a moment of revelation for Meghan. “I didn't realize that is really jarring for a lot of Brits.” It’s unclear if Kate and Will completely rejected Meghan’s hug or simply awkwardly engaged in it. “I was a hugger, always been a hugger,” Meghan said. She recalled going in for a hug with them, which was seemingly not very well received. The problem came with how Meghan went to greet the couple. Kate and Will have never once in their life come off as “ripped jeans and barefoot” kind of people, but it seems like that wasn’t the issue with the meeting. Now, right away that sounds like a bad decision. “I remember I was in ripped jeans and barefoot,” Meghan recalled. Meghan met Kate for the first time when she came over with Will for dinner at Prince Harry's Kensington Palace cottage. The Cambridges weren’t mentioned too much throughout the the first installment of the series, in fact they were only brought up once when Meghan revealed the story of the first time she met her future sister-in-law, and it actually sounds like quite the awkward experience. But if you watched to hear more about Harry and Meghan’s relationship with Prince William and Princess Kate, you may have been disappointed. Some wanted to hear the couple discuss racism within the royal family, others just wanted to see more photos of the Sussexes’ two children. It seems like every person who tuned into the first three episodes of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Netflix docuseries on Thursday night was looking for something different. ![]()
