More Details Revealed on Meghan Markle Absence from Queen Elizabeth II's Funeral
More details on Meghan Markle's absence from the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Just days before the late Queen Elizabeth II's death, Harry and Meghan traveled to the UK for work commitments. This visit marked the couple's last joint trip to the country.
Since 2022, Meghan has not visited the UK, and their children have not been to their father's homeland since the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee in June 2022.
A few hours before the Queen's passing, a palace spokesperson announced that Harry and Meghan were traveling to Balmoral Castle in Scotland to say their goodbyes to the 96-year-old monarch.
However, according to The Daily Express, Meghan was later excluded due to a "change of plans."
At the time, reports indicated that King Charles requested Meghan to stay behind, allowing Harry to visit his grandmother alone. The same request was reportedly made to Princess Kate, Prince William's wife.
In his book Charles III: New King, New Court, The Inside Story, author Robert Hardman states that King Charles asked Meghan not to visit the late Queen so that royal family members could bid their final farewell without being drawn into unnecessary internal conflicts.
In his memoir Spare, Harry recalled feeling a sense of calm knowing that Kate would also not be attending. He wrote: "Meghan and I discussed our travel options... The press began calling; we could no longer delay the decision. We asked our team to confirm: We would miss the WellChild Awards and rush to Scotland."
Harry continued: "Then another call came from my father… He said I was welcome at Balmoral, but he didn't want her there. He started giving his excuse, which was illogical and disrespectful. I wasn't having it, and I told him, 'Never talk about my wife that way.'"
He added: "He stammered and apologized, saying he simply didn't want too many people around. He said no other wives would be coming—not even Kate—so Meghan shouldn't either."

Gal Gadot Blames "Snow White" Flop on Politics
Yara Sameh Gal Gadot is opening up on why Disney's live-action 'Snow White' remake underperformed at the box office. During a recent appearance on the Israeli TV program ' The A Talks ,' in which guests are interviewed by individuals on the autism spectrum, Gadot blamed the failure of Disney's live-action remake was partially due to the "pressure on celebrities to speak out against Israel" amid the ongoing conflict with Palestine. The remake, in which Gadot played the role of the Evil Queen, tanked at the box office and was poorly received by critics. It grossed a mere $205.7 million worldwide, failing to make back its huge production budget, and garnered an average 38% rating on the Rotten Tomatoes site. Critics highlighted its bland production choices, uneven tone, and hit-or-miss songs. The film also suffered a wave of negative press in the months leading up to its release, with rumours of an on-set feud between Gadot and co-star Rachel Zegler and controversy over casting decisions. "I was sure this movie was going to be a huge hit," she said. "And then 7 October happened, and what happens – and it happens in all kinds of industries, including in Hollywood – is that a lot of pressure is put on celebrities and actors and creators to bring up things against Israel, and it happened,". Gadot continued: "I can always explain and try to give context about what's happening here. And I always do that. But in the end, people make their own decisions. And I was disappointed that the movie was incredibly affected by all of that and that it didn't do well at the box office." The film faced boycott calls from pro-Palestine groups due to the involvement of Gadot, a staunch supporter of Israel and former soldier in the Israeli military. Zegler, 24, who played the film's titular character, expressed support for Palestinians on social media, fuelling rumours of a feud with Gadot. On Sunday, Gadot took to her Instagram Stories to clarify her comments, saying that 'the film didn't fail solely because of external pressures.' 'I was honored to join an extraordinary interview with inspiring interviewers, whose questions go straight to the heart,' she wrote. 'Sometimes we respond to questions from an emotional place. When the film came out, I felt that those who are against Israel criticized me in a very personal, almost visceral way. They saw me first and foremost as an Israeli, not as an actress. That's the perspective I spoke from when I answered the question.' Gadot added, 'Of course, the film didn't fail solely because of external pressures. There are many factors that determine why a film succeeds or fails, and success is never guaranteed.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
