Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were there in the United Kingdom when the Queen breathed her last. Despite not being very far away, the Duke could not meet his grandmother for the last time as he arrived late at the Balmoral Castle in Scotland. After Queen’s death on September 08, 2022, there were a lot of rumors about why the prince reached late and was not accompanied by his wife Meghan Markle.

Following the announcement from Buckingham Palace regarding Queen’s deteriorating health, reports stated that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were traveling together to Balmoral. However, it was later confirmed that only the Duke boarded the private jet. Royal sources suggested that Markle was denied permission to see the Queen. In his memoir, Prince Harry confirmed the speculations. He also reflected on the argument he had with his father regarding the same.
