MEGHAN had a sleepless night keeping tabs on the crunch royal talks from her luxury bolthole in Canada 4,700 miles from Sandringham.
The duchess, caring for baby Archie at a retreat on Vancouver Island, wanted her voice heard as a deal on her future with Harry was thrashed out.
But the eight-hour time difference meant she was up throughout the night exchanging messages and calls with the prince as he fought their corner.
The Sandringham summit was scheduled to start at around 11am 3am in Canada.
Harry was understood to have communicated with Meghan using encrypted WhatsApp messages and talked to her during breaks in negotiations.
She returned last week to the 12,000-square-foot home called Mille Fleurs on a four acre plot at the end of a private road owned by a mystery benefactor.
The couple – who are demanding financial independence – have refused to say if they paid for their six week holiday there prior to their bombshell abdication announcement.
Its ownership remained cloaked in secrecy last night with locals claiming it belongs to a Russian oligarch.
Movie mogul Frank Giustra, ,62, who co-founded Hollywoods Lionsgate Studio and was a big donor to US president Bill Clintons foundation – yesterday denied the mansion was his.
