Meghan made a very 'deliberate decision' to leave Harry behind during her high-profile appearance in Geneva — because insiders say she wanted the focus squarely on herself.

The sources tell the expert Harry was nowhere in sight as Meghan unveiled the Lost Screen Memorial and delivered what many close to the California-based royal describe as the most significant speech of her post-royal career.

The close insiders have insisted Harry’s absence was ‘entirely intentional’.

“This was Meghan’s moment,” one insider tells Naughty But Nice. “She knew the second Harry walked into the room, the conversation would shift away from her.”

“Meghan simply wanted this stage to herself. People can stop pretending this was about childcare,” a source says. “They could easily have found help.”

Meghan saw Geneva as a rare opportunity to establish herself as an independent global figure, separate from both Harry and the royal family, the sources said.

Citing the insiders, the expert continued, “Whenever Harry appears beside her, everything becomes about royal drama, and family feuds.

“Meghan wanted the spotlight on her work, not the chaos surrounding the royal family.”
