Furious Prince Harry snubbed dinner with King Charles III and William at Balmoral after the new monarch banned Meghan from joining them on the day the Queen died, it is being reported.
It is claimed that the Duke of Sussex wanted his wife to join the Royal Family as they met at the Scottish estate following the passing of Her Majesty on September 8.
However, it is alleged that Charles phoned his youngest son to say it was ‘not appropriate’ for her to be there.
It is reported that in the ensuing row with his family, during which he fought to get them to allow the Duchess to come with him, he missed his flight to Scotland.
In his absence his brother and uncles, Andrew and Edward, all boarded an RAF plane to Scotland. They would arrive at Balmoral around half-an-hour after the Queen died.
Harry was left to make his own way there, landing in Aberdeen at 6.35pm, five minutes after Her Majesty’s death was announced to the public.
The Sun reports that the prince was so angry at the delay and the fact his wife hadn’t been allowed to come that he refused to have dinner at Birkhall with his father, brother and the Queen Consort, Camilla.
Instead he had ate with Andrew, Edward and Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, at Balmoral Castle before leaving early the next morning.

The Sun quotes a source as saying: ‘Harry was so busy trying to get Meghan to Balmoral and rowing with his family that he missed the flight.
‘Charles has an open invitation for Harry to dine with him whenever he is in the country.
‘But Harry was so furious that he refused to eat with his father and brother.
‘It was a massive snub. And he got out of Balmoral at the earliest opportunity to catch the first commercial flight back to London.’
The next morning he was the first member of the Royal Family to leave, boarding an early British Airways flight from Aberdeen where he was pictured comforting an airport worker after she passed along her condolences for his grandmother’s death.
Harry headed back to Meghan at 8.28am, where he was sat alone in the rear of a Range Rover as he was driven out of the Royal Family’s Scottish home, where he had arrived at 7.52pm the night before.
He was swept into Aberdeen airport at 9.20am, led by five police outriders, and boarded a flight to London leaving at 10am.
Harry wore a black suit and carried a shoulder bag as he walked towards the steps of the plane. An airport worker offered her sympathies as the Prince was about to walk up the steps of a British Airways aircraft.
The woman, who was dressed in a high- visibility yellow jacket, addressed Prince Harry. The royal smiled and patted her gently in the shoulder before boarding the aircraft for London’s Heathrow Airport.
Less than 12 hours earlier grief had been written on the Duke’s face after landed in Scotland following the announcement of Queen Elizabeth II’s death.
He had his head bowed and partially covered his face as he was driven out of Aberdeen airport, arriving at Balmoral after dark.
