The clear August sky hung high as a private jet carrying Prince Harry descended onto the historic Balmoral estate in the Scottish Highlands.
Back in their Montecito mansion, Meghan Markle was left stewing, furious and feeling abandoned. Prince Harry, eager to support his newly crowned father, King Charles III, rushed to his side during the somber days following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Meghan, however, was seething with rage after being unceremoniously disinvited from accompanying Harry to Balmoral. "I'm his wife; I should be by his side at this time," she reportedly shouted at her overwhelmed staff. Her exclusion from the royal gathering felt like a personal slight, fueling her resentment.
According to royal insiders, Meghan was livid that King Charles prioritized other family members over her during the royal family's time of mourning. She had envisioned herself and Harry at the forefront, the stars of the show. When told to stay behind, she saw red. Her fragile ego perceived this as a major insult, and her behavior had already raised eyebrows due to her diva-like demands and constant need for attention.
While the rest of the royals focused on honoring the late monarch and supporting each other, Meghan seemed intent on making it about herself. She attempted to insert herself into every event and photo opportunity. "It was like she had a compulsive need to be the center of attention," a source remarked. Even at the Queen’s funeral, Harry had to constantly remind her that it wasn’t about her.
Meghan's desperation for the spotlight intensified when she was left behind at Balmoral. Feeling overlooked and disrespected, she believed she should be the one comforting Harry, not the rest of his family. Reports indicate she bombarded Harry with angry texts and phone calls, accusing him of abandoning her. She viewed his decision to be with his family as a betrayal, asserting that he was once again being controlled by "the firm."
Despite Meghan's histrionics, Harry appeared somber but composed as he grieved with his relatives. "Harry knows where his priorities lie right now," a source said, "and it’s not with Meghan and her ego." Meghan, however, was not about to let this perceived slight go. In the days following, she bombarded palace staff with demands to be included in more official events and ceremonies. When these demands were denied, she allegedly threatened to boycott the Queen's funeral altogether.
"Meghan was throwing an absolute fit," an insider revealed. "She said if she and Harry couldn’t have a prominent role, then she didn’t see the point in attending." Harry had to put his foot down, insisting she attend whether she liked it or not. Meghan did attend the funeral but reportedly spent most of the service sulking and glaring at the other royals.
"She looked furious the entire time," the insider claimed, "like she was mentally planning her revenge." Meghan's thirst for retaliation appears unquenched, with royal experts believing she is plotting her next move to reassert her dominance and prove she is the true power behind the throne.
"Meghan sees this as her biggest challenge yet," a source said, "dethroning the new king and becoming the true leader of the Windsor clan." She is reportedly willing to do whatever it takes to achieve this, even if it means destroying the monarchy in the process. Only time will tell if Meghan Markle's ambitions will tear the royal family apart.
For now, King Charles and the rest of the Windsors are navigating this difficult transition with as much grace and dignity as possible. Harry seems content to let the dust settle before deciding where his true loyalties lie. "Harry's in a tough spot," an insider acknowledged. "But at the end of the day, he's a Windsor first. Meghan might think she can control him, but when push comes to shove, Harry will choose his king."
The future remains uncertain, and only time will reveal whether Meghan Markle's thirst for power and status will prevail or if the centuries-old traditions of the British monarchy will endure. One thing is certain: this royal drama is far from over.
