In the 24 hours following the dying of historic Monarch Queen Elizabeth II, we’re now studying what the rationale(s?) was behind Meghan Markle skipping out on touring with Prince Harry for one final go to to see Her Majesty.
As we’ve beforehand reported, Britain’s longest reigning monarch died on the Balmoral Castle in Scotland Thursday, and was surrounded by intimate household like Prince Charles, Camilla Parker Bowles, Prince William, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward, and Meghan’s husband.
While Harry and Meg have been already in Europe attending the WellChild Awards in London, based on one royal skilled, the Duchess of Sussex stayed behind in what’s being dubbed a late “change of plan” out of worry she wouldn’t be “warmly welcomed” by the household.
