According to recent reports, Meghan made it abundantly clear that she had no intentions of returning to the UK, let alone being in the same room as individuals like King Charles, Prince William, or even Princess Kate. Sources close to the situation have indicated that Meghan was resolute in her decision to stay away from the UK due to her fear of facing backlash from the British public.
A revelation from a royal insider has added more complexity to the story, suggesting that Meghan leaked information to the media about having spoken with the late Queen during the early stages of her marriage to Prince Harry. This revelation raises questions about how Meghan could have had direct access to the Queen's phone number. It's important to note that even Catherine (Princess Kate) did not have a direct line to Her Majesty.
Jenny.o, an account on Korra, provides some insight into the situation. The Queen of the UK, being a busy and elderly monarch responsible for the Commonwealth of Nations, would unlikely have accepted direct calls from her grandchildren, let alone their spouses. The Queen's children were her primary source of support in matters concerning the royal family. Given her age, she would not have acted as a mentor or frequently engaged in phone conversations with Meghan, who was, at the time, in a relatively new role within the family.
In reality, every call to the Queen, regardless of the caller, goes through a switchboard, which then directs it to a senior courtier. The Queen's schedule is meticulously planned and booked well in advance, leaving her with little time for unscheduled calls or interruptions.
Two individuals who had access to the Queen's mobile phone number were Princess Anne and a racing manager. Therefore, the notion that Meghan could have directly called the Queen is dismissed as an attempt to belittle the monarch. The Queen's life is highly disciplined and extremely busy, leaving no room for casual phone calls from Meghan.
In late August 2020, when Harry and Meghan moved to their Montecito Mansion, news outlets were capitalizing on leaks from Meghan's PR team suggesting a close relationship with the Queen. This contradicted the narrative that they had been driven away from the UK due to strained relations.
Meghan had claimed that she learned about Prince Philip's hospitalization while filming her interview with Oprah Winfrey and had called the Queen to check in. However, the idea that Meghan could make such casual calls to the Queen is viewed as implausible and part of her pattern of fabricating stories. This revelation has added further scrutiny to Meghan's actions and statements.
