On September 8, 2022, Queen Elizabeth II passed away at Balmoral Castle.
For many, this was the moment that indelibly changed the dynamics of the British royal family.
However, in reality, a rift had already been growing among the monarch’s descendants.
This was especially obvious in the days leading up to Her Majesty’s death.
During this event, the couple was repeatedly snubbed both socially and symbolically.
Throughout the proceedings, senior royals appeared to ice Meghan out.
I don’t think this is what she anticipated.
According toPage Six, Harry was also treated as something of a persona non grata.
For one thing, he was reportedly denied the right to don his military uniform at the event.
Likewise, the Sussexes were seated in a second-rate position during the religious part of the ceremony.
But it shows Harry and Meghan are powerless to stop the eviction."
Ultimately, though, this massive snub might not have impacted the couple too much.
An insider informedPage Sixthat Meghan and Harry “seemed to be in extremely good spirits” at the time.
In the end, it remains unclear whether or not Charles responded to this alleged request.
However, we do know that this sort of public recognition never took place.
Instead, on the actual day of the coronation, Harry attended the proceedings by himself.
He then quickly flew back home to celebrate his son’s birthday.
At the time, a source toldPeople, “It’s going to be a low-key party at home.
They’ll have friends around them and Meghan’s mom.”
Prince Andrew was also reportedly unwelcome.
In the past, Meghan was said to have broken protocol by wearing inappropriate attire to the event.
Indeed, back in 2018, the duchess was heavily criticized for wearing an off-the-shoulder Carolina Herrera dress.
Traditionally, royals are expected to dress more modestly at such engagements.
Buckingham Palace, meanwhile, claimed there was nothing planned (viaHarper’s Bazaar).
