During this time, an intimate gathering took place, where Meghan is said to have confided in a close friend, shedding tears on her final day as a senior royal family member. This poignant moment occurred in the presence of both Meghan and journalists. Meghan, at this gathering, delivered a poignant 12-word statement: "It didn't have to be this way; I'll have my revenge."
These details have been disclosed by journalist Amed Scobie, who was present at the event. Meghan's intention was to make this gathering her farewell before returning to Canada, specifically Vancouver Island, to be with her son Archie before he awoke.
Scobie underscores the profound impact the situation had on Meghan and Harry. While their decision to step back may not have taken the world entirely by surprise, they believed it could have been avoided. Reports indicated that Queen Elizabeth II had declined several requests from Prince Harry and Meghan, including those related to their living arrangements and access to specific royal properties.
Their initial desire was for Windsor Castle and an exclusive team, but instead, they were allocated Frogmore Cottage and placed under the jurisdiction of Buckingham Palace alongside other minor royals. This decision was made to ensure they were seen as equals to senior members of the royal family.
At first, Meghan and Harry sought a fully functional "House of Sussex," but their request was met with a resounding rejection from the royal family. Subsequent reports suggested that the Queen might grant them some royal properties, but all such reports were proven false. They also expressed interest in Apartment 1B at Kensington Palace, even attempting to displace the current occupant, yet this proposal was met with another "no."
When it was eventually disclosed that they would be allowed to rent Frogmore Cottage, some media outlets inaccurately reported it as a move to Windsor. UK media had to clarify that it was Frogmore Cottage, not Frogmore House. Throughout this process, the royal family consistently demonstrated their ability to firmly reject the demands made by Meghan and Harry with a simple "no," a concept that Meghan may not have encountered during her upbringing.
Despite these challenges, Meghan seemed resolute in her desire for revenge against the royal family. This determination manifested in various actions that ultimately led to her husband betraying his own family. These actions included the airing of allegations of discrimination during the Oprah interview, releasing controversial content in their book "Spare," and the portrayal of themselves as victims in their Netflix series. Behind closed doors, these actions fostered a notably negative perception of Meghan among certain individuals, with some even drawing comparisons between her actions and Queen Elizabeth II's description of her as "evil."
