An excerpt of the yet-to-be-released book, published by London’s The Times on Friday, described the Queen’s reaction when learning Markle would be staying in the US instead of jetting to the UK for the funeral due to her pregnancy. The 96-year-old was thrilled by her absence, he wrote:
Dang! As Perezcious readers know, the former actress was instructed to stay at home in California per “doctor’s orders” because she was already seven months pregnant with her daughter Lilibet. Having experienced a miscarriage before, traveling was not worth risking potential complications, a source told Us Weekly at the time:
Harry notably attended the funeral even though it was just one month after his and Meghan’s CBS tell-all. He and his brother Prince William caused enough drama at the event when they were noticeably separated by a cousin during the funeral procession. So, considering how divided things have been within the royal family for years, it’s ironic to think they were once meddling in the mom of two’s family turmoil!
