Prince Harry and his brother, Prince William, arrived unaccompanied by his wives at Balmoral.
The arrival of Queen Elizabeth's relatives at Balmoral Castle, in Scotland, where the monarch was resting after the recommendation of her doctors, was quite an event. Each of them tried to arrive as soon as possible to accompany her in the delicate moment, and although some did not arrive on time, other family members decided not to appear.
This is the case of Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex and wife of Prince Harry, who has had a long and difficult relationship with the royal house of the British monarchy, and after the announcement about the seriousness of the queen's health, Markle decided not to go with the duke to Balmoral, so the grandson of Elizabeth II came alone to the castle to say goodbye to his grandmother.
Meanwhile, it was a correspondent for the British BBC network, in charge of affairs from Buckingham Palace, who revealed before the cameras the reason why Meghan Markle had decided not to say goodbye to Queen Elizabeth II, like other members of the royal house
Apparently, although plans stated that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would be together at Balmoral Castle where the queen was lying, a last-minute change of plans suggested that the best way was for Prince Harry to arrive without his wife to avoid conflicts.
“There was no such plan. Because on Thursday a spokesperson for the couple said they would travel together. The cause? The possibility of not being well received. It may not be very well received, to be perfectly honest about it,” said Nicholas Witchell, before the BBC cameras.
However, Meghan was not the only wife absent from the queen's summer residence. Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales and since Thursday, September 8, Duchess of Cornwall, wife of Prince William, was also not present at Balmoral to say goodbye to the monarch.
Well, through a statement, Kensington Palace stated that the princess did not travel with Prince William to take care of his three children, who are 9, 7 and 4 years old, the youngest. So then, Middleton would have decided to stay home while her husband went to say goodbye to her grandmother.
Children of Harry and Meghan will access their royal titles after the death of the queen
Still involved in the pain of the loss of a loved one, the royal family, the Windsors, have seen in recent hours how Prince Charles of Wales becomes King Charles III and, with this, begins a series of changes to the interior of the Crown. These are derived from the acquisition of titles, and obligations, of various family members; Most of them are the youngest members of the house: the great-grandchildren of Queen Elizabeth II and the grandchildren of the new monarch.
According to local media, in accordance with the protocols that govern the royal family, established by King George V, great-grandfather of the new king, with the accession of Charles III to the throne, his grandchildren access the noble title of princes and will be called from now your royal highness.
Although until now William's children, now first in the line of succession to the throne (George, Charlotte and Louis), already had the title of princes, as it is contemplated in royal protocol; In the other two cases it was a special provision of his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth (by a patent signed in December 2012), that the children of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle did not bear such a distinction.
However, with the rise to power of Charles III, the couple's two children, Archie and Lilibeth, aged three and one, respectively, acquired, according to the rules of the Crown signed in 1917, the title of princes. This is because they are grandchildren of the current king, even though their father, Prince Harry, and his wife, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, resigned from participating in the activities of the royal family, even moving outside the United Kingdom.
