The British royal house did not like to see in the documentary “Harry and Meghan” a hint that it was due to pressure from Buckingham Palace that Meghan Markle’s niece was not invited to Prince Harry’s wedding, in 2018. The documentary episode, which premiered on the 8th December Meghan describes a “painful” conversation, she says, with her niece Ashley Hill, the daughter of her half-sister Samantha, in which she told her she could not attend the wedding due to “guidelines” and “advice” from the royal family. The guiding principle at the time was no invitation [Ashleigh] for our wedding. I was in the car with Harry, I called him and we talked to her about this directive that was given to us,” Meghan said in the Netflix series. The idea relayed by the Duchess of Sussex is that if her sister Samantha couldn’t go to the wedding, then her daughter would also be left out, Ashley, automatically, but it totally won’t be.
“It was entirely up to Meghan to decide which of her friends and family to invite to her wedding. It wasn’t an argument, it was her decision.” Who says it’s sourced from the royal house, Daily Mail contacted him. Another criticism pointed out by the same royal source is that Meghan has not been consistent in the arguments she has used, in the past, regarding her niece, by comparing her to the present. This is because Meghan has always defended that she wanted to protect her niece from public exposure, that she wasn’t a public person, and now she has Ashley in the documentary giving her face and speaking out about the issue.Which leaves Buckingham Palace with the image of dictators and controllers.
The idea is still present in the documentary, that the royal house somehow tried to prevent Meghan from communicating with her niece. “Communication with Meg became less frequent. My impression was that their relationships were ‘managed’ (by the royal family),” Ashley says in the Netflix documentary. The same source also strongly denied this statement, which was heard by “Mail”.
