Prince Harry reveals his scathing reply to King Charles after Meghan wasn’t invited to Balmoral

Prince Harry has revealed the cutting eight word reply he gave to King Charles, after he was told that wife Meghan Markle wasn’t invited to be with Queen Elizabeth II when she died. Harry was travelling to be with his grandmother at the time she passed two years ago in September 2022. But, as members of the royal family travelled to be with the Queen as her health deteriorated, Harry was told that his wife was not welcome.

On the way to Scotland to see his grandmother, the Queen, Harry told his father, then Prince of Wales that he wanted Meghan to be there with him too, to which, Charles reportedly told his son that he didn’t want his wife to come. Meghan didn’t end up accompanying her husband, with Harry flying to Aberdeen alone.

Prince Harry revealed in his memoir, Spare, that Charles phoned him while Harry was on the way, writing: “He [Charles] said I was welcome at Balmoral, but he didn’t want… her. He started to lay out his reason, which was nonsensical, and disrespectful, and I wasn’t having it.”
