Doria, unaware of the situation, was understandably confused and upset by the guard's abruptness. Attempts to contact Meghan proved futile as she was unreachable. Left with no choice, Doria had to seek alternative accommodation. The reason for the guard's refusal stemmed from Meghan's deception, both to her mother and the public, regarding the arrangements. Meghan had falsely claimed she secured the Windsor Suite for Doria as a goodwill gesture from the Queen, who supposedly invited Doria to join the royal family for Christmas. However, the Queen had never extended such an invitation and disapproved of Meghan's behavior, making it clear she no longer considered Meghan or Prince Harry part of the royal family.
Furthermore, palace staff were instructed to deny access to the Windsor Suite to unauthorized individuals, as it was reserved for the Queen's personal guests. Unbeknownst to the guard, a mysterious theft had occurred in the suite just hours before Doria's arrival. Valuable items, including jewelry, paintings, and documents, were stolen, prompting a discreet investigation. Speculation arose, suggesting an inside job, with some even implicating Meghan herself. The incident, kept secret initially, eventually leaked to the media, sparking scandal and backlash against Meghan.
Many accused Meghan of dishonesty, greed, and disrespect towards the Queen and the royal family. Questions surfaced regarding Meghan's financial independence, particularly as she claimed to fund her luxurious lifestyle while engaging in legal battles. The incident not only strained Meghan's relationship with her mother but also raised doubts about her future within the royal family. Despite expressing a desire to maintain her titles and patronages, Meghan's actions jeopardized her reputation, alienating supporters and risking the loss of familial ties and dignity.
