Although the exact reason for Meghan’s absence has not been determined, her reunion with the royal family would have been difficult under the difficult circumstances.
Meghan and Harry are both so close to the Queen that the couple named their daughter Lillipet after her.
Harry also said in an interview with The Today Show in April that he found “they had a really special relationship. We talk about things that you can’t talk about with anyone else.”
In an interview published on August 29, Meghan confirmed that she was working to forgive the royal family for everything that happened while working in the royal establishment with Harry.
“I think forgiveness is really important. Not being forgiven takes a lot of energy. But it takes a lot of effort to forgive. I really put in an active effort,” she said.
The royal family was shocked by this interview, which damaged its reputation.
