The royal family rushed to be by Queen Elizabeth II’s
side ahead of her death, including grandson Prince Harry. While it
was first reported that Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, would be accompanying
her husband to Scotland, she ultimately did not go, and an insider explains her
absence exclusively to In Touch.
“Meghan felt it would be wrong to go to Balmoral given her
history with the royal family,” a source tells In Touch exclusively
on Thursday, September 8, following the queen’s passing. “It was direct family
only, and she is unwelcome there.”
Queen Elizabeth II – who served on the British throne for
more than 70 years – died on September 8 at the age of 96, the royal
family confirmed.
“The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon,” the
official Twitter account of the royal family wrote. “The King and The Queen
Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London
tomorrow.”
While tensions between the Duke of Sussex, 37, and Duchess
of Sussex, 41, and members of the royal family have continued for years, they
had a meaningful bond with his grandmother and even named their daughter after
the late monarch.
