Neil's source says that the Ho's exclusion from the Sandringham Summit, which led to Megxit, was something the Ho never forgave the Palace for. She wanted to add her input by zoom or whatever (from Canada presumably) but she wasn't allowed and Harald was left to deal with it alone. This in turn led in the Ho's eyes to an unsatisfactory result regarding what was agreed at Sandringham between the Palace and the Sussexes.

This is interesting because it supports the Stoat's claim that they were told to leave the RF rather than the Palace version that they left of their own accord. It seems the Ho was removed from the UK before the meeting and escorted to Canada, as no way would she have wanted to miss this crucial meeting to thrash out a deal with BP.
This also explains Harald's angry phone calls to her as he didn't know what to do.
Something happened to get them thrown out, but HM wanted to clarify things before the Stoat left too and this was done at Sandringham.
A PR release then said they'd "decided to step back as senior working Royals", but it seems that as Harald has always said, they were told to leave. Whatever happened to cause this, the Stoats have never forgiven the Palace.
This is just my take on Neil's video, picking up the fact if true that the Ho wanted to be at the Sandringham meeting, and the significance of her not being allowed to be there. It casts a different light on everything. Since Megxit the story has been that the Stoats chose to leave, their choice, so why are they complaining, they stepped back etc.?
Maybe they didn't, or weren't ready to go yet even if this was their intention.
Or they were thrown out but it was packaged as something else, and it's bitten the RF on the bum ever since.
The 'kind and cuddly, non-confrontational Grandpa Charlie' persona has never struck me as accurate, nor the portrayal of our late Queen as a meek and ever-forgiving sweet old lady - for one thing, she was an expert horsewoman and my experience of horse people is that they can be utterly ruthless and commanding (you have to be when you have a ton or more of headstrong horse under you!). HM was also an expert breeder, she would have no compunction at getting rid of poor stock, one way or another.
We know too that William can turn beast when he's protecting his people, he'd already floored the Stoat because of Stoatess' cruel behaviours; and we know about the long family history of ruthlessly 'pruning' the family when it got in the way or stepped out of line.
The Stoats, like a pair of delinquent, impulsive teens let loose in an off-licence, had spent a couple of years giddily breaking countless RF rules (most of them practical and common sense) and countless rules of common decency with their bombastic demands and appalling behaviours that hurt and injured many. All the while they were secretly plotting and scheming and actively setting up the ways and means to get-rich-quick at the expense of our Monarchy and our country. The final straw for the family could well have been the Stoats' very public manifesto of demands and plans. No one dictates to the Monarchy. Just as no one, except abusers, dictates to their grandparents about terms of engagement with the family and the monies and support expected of them.
How on earth did they think their clueless, classless reign of juvenile dictatorship and terror was going to end?
Right from that day of the Sandringham Summit, when we saw the profoundly manipulative Stoatess turned away from the National Theatre and then disgustingly parading her pale, ringless hands in a blatant display of coercive control to her husband (who was at the same time, revving himself up for tantrums at Sandringham), I've always had a strong impression that the Stoats were, with exquisitely good manners, very firmly ushered out of the country. The Family had already seen and heard enough from and about Stoatess to know that her participation in any meeting would be a 'slap 'em once then slap 'em again' bully fest which could easily get out of hand as it fired up the daft Stoat to excesses which would certainly have kept the media on fire for weeks.
Being frogmarched out of Frogmore with no notice, would have been a tremendous shock to Stoat, he'd always relied on his family to be there for him, they'd always indulged him to the hilt. For the Stoatess, it was likely the first time that anyone had ever dared to stop her entirely self-promoting and tawdry cavorting in its tracks. It must have been the most immense shock to finally encounter an impenetrable boundary she couldn't breach. No doubt it was intensely, excruciatingly humiliating for both rodents.
Then came the red mist fury. Out of which sprang all the false accusations, the lies, the petty and dangerous games - like wayward teens smashing up their room after they'd been grounded, they were full of self-justified rage. They developed a folie a deux story that painted themselves as struggling victims and which drossed the RF as hidebound, boorish oppressors. Their idiotic get-rich-quick script had been kiboshed but there was a readymade poor, innocent and maltreated Diana script right there on the shelf. Despite their dearth of talent, they did some rewriting and gave it a good airing. It drew the crowds initially but, rather predictably, as the audience began to see through the artifice, it's turned into a very costly flop that's drawn even more humiliation upon them. Now even the 'angels' are jumping ship.
The RF's calm and stealthy, ruthless counter measures have worked - and every bite on the bum they've sustained has only raised more public sympathy for them (after all, few families haven't had to suffer wayward teens and troublesome daughters-in-law!) The RF's show goes on....and has even been strengthened.
) She must have been an absolute nightmare to try and coach as I am sure despite her -'Spare can tell me all I need to know' therefore refuting Sophy and all other aids of support, she clearly wasn't listening to him due to all the blunders and faux pas she made, he probably knew it was a waste of time trying to tell her anything so didn't bother, she thought she knew best and that rules were made to be broken as part of her modernising the Monarchy.
