Saying goodbye to the Queen should be particularly difficult for Prince Harry. But now the funeral services are over and he and his wife may already be on their way back to the United States. Before that, however, Duchess Meghan would have made a very special request to the new King Charles.

Several billion people around the world may have seen the Queen’s state funeral on Monday. They saw the lavish pomp, the sorrow and tears of loved ones, and even such a trifle as the spider running over the deceased monarch’s coffin.

What they could also see, at least indirectly, is that there is a rift between Prince Harry and the rest of the royal family. For example, the 38-year-old was not allowed to appear in uniform on most occasions. Or because the encounters with his brother William and his wife Kate seemed rather cool.

However, what the whole world couldn’t see this time and will never see is what really happens behind the palace gates when the cameras and microphones are turned off at some point. We can only speculate about that. And so on the first day after the funeral, the rumor mill starts up again, especially when it comes to Harry and Meghan.

A letter to Karel?

So everyone could see that the funeral alone was not enough to bring about peace between the two and the rest of the family. But perhaps other initiatives that have not been at the center of public opinion have led to a rapprochement. For example, nobility expert Neil Sean reports in a video on his YouTube channel about a “very brave” step that Meghan would have taken.

Accordingly, the duchess gave the new king Charles III. wrote a letter requesting a one-on-one interview. The 41-year-old wants to “clean up” before she and her husband travel back to the United States, says Sean, who works for NBC, among others. “This is a very brave move by Meghan personally,” the reporter explained. Meghan’s confidence deserves respect no matter how you feel about her.

Writing to the king asking for an interview is a common practice, Sean says. However, he could not estimate the chance of success. “Honestly, we have no idea what will become of it.” Sean relies on a “very good source” for his account, but without mentioning his informant.

On packed suitcases?

So is there any hope that Harry and Meghan’s visit to London – despite the grief for the Queen – will still bear positive fruit? Or are the two already sitting on their packed suitcases right after the funeral ceremonies, ready to travel back to their new American homeland and to their children waiting there? Other sources report this.

The US portal “Radaronline” – although not always known for its seriousness – claims to have heard from palace insiders that Harry and Meghan “wanted to get to California as soon as possible”. As there is still tension between them and the rest of the family, the two are no longer interested in continuing their stay in London.

Harry and Meghan’s trip to Europe was originally planned much shorter. However, after the death of the queen, the couple spontaneously extended their stay. Missing the funeral of his grandmother, with whom he would have had a particularly close relationship, was out of the question for Harry. After the funeral services, nothing would stand in the way of a return to the US.
