King Charles reportedly told Prince Harry it 'wasn't right' for Meghan Markle to see Queen Elizabeth before her death.
Prince Harry was the first member of the royal family to leave Balmoral after his grandmother's death. It has now been alleged that King Charles told him it "wasn't right" for Meghan Markle to see Queen Elizabeth before she died, Birmingham Live reports.
"Charles told Harry that it wasn't right or appropriate for Meghan to be in Balmoral at such a deeply sad time," said a Sun source.

"It was pointed out to him that Kate was not going and that the numbers really should be limited to the very closest family. Charles made it very, very clear Meghan would not be welcome."
Harry departed Balmoral on Friday morning, returning to England on a British Airways flight. One passenger told The Sun: "He barely moved for the whole hour-long flight and was obviously reflecting on his beloved grandmother.
"It was so sad to see him without the other royals to comfort him. I really hope the Queen's death will help them heal their rifts." King Charles later addressed the nation on Friday.
He used his speech to extend an olive branch to Harry, his youngest son, and his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex and former Suits actress.
