September 8, 2022 saw Queen Elizabeth II’s death which brought an ending era to the British monarchy.
The world observed the Royal Family meeting at Balmoral Castle yet viewers noticed that Meghan Markle was nowhere to be seen.
Prince Harry together with Meghan had been present in the UK during charitable events before Queen Elizabeth’s condition took a sudden deteriorating turn.
Both Harry and Meghan would have journeyed to Balmoral Castle to join the Queen during her last moments according to initial statements.
A few short hours later Harry made the journey to Balmoral by himself after the decision for Meghan to stay in England took effect.
People speculated during this period about why Meghan was not present at the Queen’s passing event although she did not want to be absent.
Some people thought the absence was caused by transportation problems and others linked it to the ongoing conflicts between the Royal Family and the couple.
Recent reports and confidential sources have refuted the speculation that Meghan willingly chose to stay in England when King Charles III asked her to remain behind.
King Charles III communicated directly to Meghan that her place should be in England which led to Harry undertaking the Balmoral trip on his own.
The royal sources revealed that the decision to keep Meghan in England was made so that nobody would feel tension during this delicate period.

The 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey which exposed racism and mistreatment among the royal family had not yet fully healed.
Charles aimed to preserve the proper farewell atmosphere by maintaining focus on goodbye rituals because of the Queen’s health decline along with the elevated emotions at that time.
One major issue arose regarding how Harry would handle discovering his wife faced rejection during this occasion.
To soften the blow, an “excuse” was put in place, one that would make it easier for Harry to accept the decision.
Multiple sources advised Harry that the Princess of Wales Catherine along with him would stay away from Balmoral.
Harry’s understanding that the entire family was excluded from Balmoral improved his disposition toward the situation since he had originally thought his wife was singled out.
Later information showed that the Queen never instructed Catherine to avoid Balmoral Castle.
She chose to spend that day in Windsor while watching her kids start their first-term at their new school.
Queen Elizabeth granted only Meghan the status of being kept from witnessing her final moments since her death.
Through his memoir Spare Harry disclosed the conflicted conversation he had with his father who defended his position.
The news initially made Harry furious until he learned that the Duchess of Cambridge was also barred from the deathbed.
Author Robert Hardman in his book Charles III: New King, New Court, The Inside Story stated that the decision proved purposeful according to expert analysis.
The way Charles presented Meghan’s absence as part of a bigger decision allowed him to stop Harry from breaking his bond with him during the Queen’s final hour.

The Queen lost her life at 3:10 PM with Charles while Camilla and Princess Anne stood beside him.
Harry’s arrival happened too late to see his grandmother as she passed away while his father became King Charles III.
Harry reached Balmoral at the end of that evening although all other members of the royal family had already united.
After the Queen lost her life tensions between the monarch and Sussex family became more pronounced in the months following her death.
