Sources revealed that Buckingham Palace staff had a phone call with Meghan to advise her against wearing the necklace, as it could attract unwanted attention from the press. The royal family was concerned that it might encourage photographers to pursue invasive images and headlines. This call left Meghan emotional and frustrated, as she found it surreal to have someone from her boyfriend's office dictate what jewelry she should wear or how she should react to the photographers.
Despite the palace's instructions, Meghan decided not to fully comply. In an act that seemed to irritate the palace, she called the paparazzi in Toronto, Canada, to take a photo of her shopping while wearing the necklace. It was evident that Meghan was determined to show her independence and resist following strict royal protocols.
At the time, Prince Harry made a significant detour of 1700 miles to see Meghan on his way back to Britain from his tour of the Caribbean. He spent the night with her in Toronto, where Meghan was based for her role in the U.S. legal drama, Suits. It seemed their relationship was progressing well, and Meghan couldn't help but drop subtle hints on social media.
Throughout their journey together, Meghan has been known as a rule-breaker, from dating Harry to becoming a member of the Royal Family. She has defied tradition by not publicly announcing details of her child's birth and refraining from the usual photo sessions on the maternity steps of Buckingham Palace.
However, the issue with the necklace and the clash with the palace over it seemed to be a sore spot for Meghan. While she embraced her nonconformity in many areas, the matter of the necklace left her in tears, illustrating the complex dynamics between the couple and the royal family.
As for the future of the Sussexes, it remains uncertain. Meghan's ventures into new age and various endeavors haven't found a clear path for her yet. There have been rumors that Meghan and Harry might consider returning to royal life, especially since King Charles would likely want to mend family ties. However, Harry's past actions and public statements have created a security risk and skepticism among the royal family.
Regardless of the uncertainties, it's expected that the royal family has a plan in place for Harry's potential return. However, as long as Meghan remains a part of the picture, it's unlikely that any discussions will take place. The situation remains delicate, and the future path for the Sussexes remains uncertain.
