A source close to the situation emphasized that Meghan's strong stance was rooted in her fear of facing public backlash from the British population. This revelation comes in the wake of claims from a royal insider suggesting that Meghan disclosed to the media that she had made a phone call to the late Queen during the early stages of her marriage to Prince Harry.
The fact that Meghan had the Queen's phone number has raised eyebrows, as even Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, did not have direct access to Her Majesty. Jenny O, a contributor on Kora, offers an explanation.
She notes that the Queen, as the busy and elderly Monarch tasked with carrying the weight of the Commonwealth of Nations on her shoulders, was unlikely to entertain direct calls from her grandchildren, let alone their spouses.
In the realm of royal support, the Queen's children were the first line of assistance for Harry and Meghan's marriage. Given the Queen's age and the complexities of her role, she was not positioned to act as a mentor or offer lifelines to a former yacht girl who had become involved with her grandson. It is clear that Megan could not simply dial the Queen at her whim. The Queen's privacy was safeguarded by the Knights of the realm, and Megan's claims seem to be an attempt to undermine the Queen's status, portraying her as someone eagerly awaiting a casual chat.
In reality, the Queen's life was highly disciplined and incredibly busy. She adhered to a strict schedule, with every day planned weeks or even months in advance. The idea that Megan could casually call her seems far-fetched. Notably, only two individuals had direct access to the Queen's mobile phone and phone number: Princess Anne and the Queen's racing manager. Megan's assertion of a direct call to the Queen appears to be yet another of her many fabrications.
Megan's statement that she found out about Prince Philip's hospitalization during her interview with Oprah Winfrey and subsequently called the Queen to check in contradicts the reality of the Queen's busy life. Megan's claims serve to underscore the stark contrast between her portrayal of casual phone calls and the actual rigor of royal life in the UK.
