Prince Harry was reportedly told by Charles that “Meghan would not be welcome” at Balmoral as the family gathered to be with the Queen in her final hours.
Harry was the last to arrive at Balmoral Castle on Thursday and the first to depart on Friday.
In happier times, Harry and his grandmother enjoyed a close, playful rapport, glimpsed by the wider public in 2016 when they appeared together in a comic video, reacting to a mic drop taunt from Barack and Michelle Obama ahead of the Invictus Games, a competition for disabled veterans which Harry has promoted.
