Prince Charles, Prince William, and Prince Harry were among the family members that traveled to be with Queen Elizabeth II in Balmoral, Scotland, where she passed away peacefully while Meghan Markle remains in London for a reason.

It was reported that Prince Harry traveled to Balmoral Castle without Meghan Markle before the passing of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8. Unfortunately, the queen had already gone away at the age of 96 when his plane touched down.

The Duchess of Sussex was reportedly not invited to meet the royal family at the vacation home, according to a recent story by Entertainment Tonight.

Meghan Markle Was Reportedly "Not Invited" to Queen Elizabeth's Bedside

It should be emphasized that Meghan Markle wasn't the only one who stayed behind despite the fact that these remarks support rumors of a royal breach between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family. While her husband Prince William was out in Scotland, Kate Middleton stayed at Windsor.

Prince William, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward, and Sophie, the Countess of Sussex, all joined King Charles III before Prince Harry arrived despite the fact that the current King Charles III, Camilla, the Queen Consort, and Princess Anne were already in Scotland before the death of the queen.

Kate Middleton was referred to as the first Princess of Wales. King Charles III also gave Prince William his previous titles. "I want to also express my love for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as they continue to establish their life overseas," the monarch remarked of his second son and daughter-in-law.

As usual, opinions on whether the king's remarks to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were intended as an amicable gesture or as a dig are pretty split online. Even though many people were moved by the declaration of love, others saw it as a dismissal.

Although Meghan Markle and Prince Harry did not earn new titles, their children most certainly did. The couple revealed to Oprah Winfrey in 2021 that their children had not been granted HRH titles or the security protocols those titles would have supplied.

For royals who move up the line of succession from the present sovereign's great-grandchild to grandchild, however, these titles are an automatic right, making Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet the recognized royal families.

Meghan Markle Postpones Podcast, Fallon Appearance

Following the death of the queen, Meghan Markle postponed her contentious podcast and cancelled a major media appearance. Meghan Markle canceled her appearance on 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon' on September 20, according to a reliable insider who spoke to Page Six.

According to the Sussex insider, Meghan Markle was due on Fallon. "I have no idea what she was supposed to discuss, but it's clear that the meeting has been canceled."

The following edition of her Spotify 'Archetypes' podcast, which was supposed to release on Tuesday, September 13, has also been postponed in addition to the Fallon appearance. Meghan Markle could be attempting to diffuse the conflict between Prince Harry and his family.

"The family will be keen to play down the 'feud' story, given their more pressing new challenges, absorbing the enormity of the Queen's death and the intense scrutiny faced by King Charles as he adjusts into his new job," royal expert Eloise Parker said in a statement to Fox New Digital.

Prince William "will now have even more royal responsibilities as Prince of Wales and direct successor to the throne," the royal expert said, following the passing of the queen and King Charles III's accession to the throne. King Charles III announced that Prince William will replace him when he passes away in his first speech to the country as king. He also gave his oldest son his previous title, the Prince of Wales.

Before the Sussexes went to the US, Archie and Lilibet were introduced to the children of Prince William and Middleton, according to former British public relations staffer Shannon Felton Spence.
