When Elizabeth II died, Prince Harry’s wife was unable to come to his bedside. In his Memoirs released on January 10, the Duke of Sussex says that his father, King Charles III, prevented it.
Memoirs of Prince Harry, The Alternate (published on January 10, 2023 by Fayard in France), are constantly revelations about power struggles within the Royal Family of England. Among them: the treatment of Meghan, wife of the Duke of Sussex, by her in-laws. The former actress Suits would have been, according to her husband, prevented from going to the bedside of Queen Elizabeth II by none other than his father-in-law, the new King Charles III.
On September 8, 2022, the day of the death of the sovereign, the Sussexes were already in the United Kingdom to attend the WellChild Awards, says the DailyMail Quoted by Madame Figaro. In his Memoirs, Prince Harry describes having learned of the death of his grandmother by consulting the BBC website. If the couple had initially said in a press release to go together to Balmoral, where the queen was buried, another announcement posted a few hours later hinted that Prince Harry would be heading there alone. In the meantime, he would have received a call at his residence of Frogmore Cottage telling him not to come accompanied by Meghan, like his brother William, whose wife Kate stayed with their children. “Charles told Harry that it would not be fair or appropriate for Meghan to come to Balmoral in such sad times”an anonymous source told the DailyMail.

Meghan would “overshadow” the royal family
According to Harry, this prohibition would come from a fear of his father compared to Meghan. Charles III would be afraid that the former actress “shade him”, and worry about owing him financial support. “Never talk about my wife like that!”retorts his youngest son in his Memoirs, maintaining that this concern would concern less the finances of the royal family than a certain jealousy towards his wife. A fracture within Mountbatten-Windsor which is not about to be resolved.
