The reason for the guard's refusal stemmed from Meghan's alleged deception. Meghan had claimed she secured the Windsor Suite for her mother as a gesture of goodwill from the Queen, who supposedly invited Doria to join the royal family for Christmas. However, this turned out to be false, as the Queen had never extended such an invitation and didn't consider Meghan and Prince Harry part of the royal family anymore. Furthermore, the Windsor Suite was strictly reserved for the Queen's personal guests, not for Meghan or her relatives.
The guard's actions were in line with the Queen's instructions, unbeknownst to him of the unfolding drama. Earlier that day, a mysterious theft occurred in the Windsor Suite, where valuable items, including jewelry, paintings, and documents, were stolen. While the identity of the thief remained unknown, speculation arose, with some suggesting an inside job involving someone close to Meghan, even implicating Meghan herself in the theft.
The incident not only sparked scandal and backlash against Meghan but also exposed deep rifts within the royal family and strained the relationship between Meghan and her mother, Doria. Disappointed and feeling used by her daughter's deception, Doria missed the opportunity to spend time with Meghan and her grandson, Archie, and meet her new granddaughter, Lilibet.
This incident not only tarnished Meghan's reputation but also raised questions about her future within the royal family and her relationships with her loved ones. Despite her claims of maintaining cordial relations, Meghan's actions revealed otherwise, potentially jeopardizing more than just her privileges and popularity but also her family and dignity.
