The descent into hell of Prince Harry: from favorite grandson to great disappointment of Elizabeth II
The monarch and the Duke of Sussex had always had a great relationship, which would now be very touched
The British royal family is experiencing one of its deepest crises after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced their intention to be independent. To try to end this situation, Queen Elizabeth II met this Monday, January 13, with her son, Prince Charles, and her two grandchildren, William and the Duke of Sussex, to try to settle it once. all the controversy.
Along with the institutional crisis, the members of the royal family will also have to face a much bigger problem: the estrangement between Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Harry. According to sources close to Buckingham Palace, the situation between the two is very tense, despite the fact that, for years, the Duke of Sussex was considered the favorite grandson of the monarch.
For years, Elizabeth II and Prince Harry were very close. The queen always forgave her grandson for all her troubles during her youth and she became her second mother after the early passing of Lady Di. Proof of this are the small concessions that the monarch has made to her grandson, such as inviting Meghan Markle to spend the Christmas holidays in Sandringham before they are married.
Grandson and grandmother share a sense of humor. In addition, the fact that he is not the heir means that the queen has always allowed more licenses with him than with Guillermo, as made clear in the letter of approval of her wedding with Meghan Markle. At the time, Elizabeth II referred to the Duke of Sussex as "my dearest and most appreciated grandson", something that now seems to have changed.
Recent events would have made Queen Elizabeth II very disappointed in her grandson. “After all that she has done for Harry, (the queen) she is monumentally disappointed. All she has done is accommodate him and Meghan from the beginning, ”a source close to Elizabeth II told‘ Vanity Fair USA ’.
From the beginning, the queen has tried to make both he and Meghan feel as comfortable as possible within the royal family, therefore, her disappointment is even greater if possible. “It has not been good for their relationship. What was once a very warm and fun relationship, between grandmother and grandson, has dissipated ”, they have commented to the aforementioned publication. And the prince has gone from being her favorite grandson to becoming her biggest problem.
