Did Elizabeth II prefer William to Harry, after Diana's death?
Would Queen Elizabeth II have spent more time with William than with Harry when their mother Diana died? A royal expert was keen to make things clear in the columns of People magazine.
This Friday, June 4, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry welcomed their second child, a little girl named Lilibet Diana. This name is a tribute to Diana, but especially to Queen Elizabeth II who has always been nicknamed Lilibeth. However, this birth brings back some articles on the rivalry between Harry and William, and especially on the preferences of His Majesty. It is rumored that she would have preferred William to her brother after the death of their mother, Diana. Really ?
After Princess Diana's death in 1997, Queen Elizabeth II "was a kind of stepmother to Harry and William," royal expert Robert Lacey told People magazine. And to make revelations about how The Queen has been very present for George's father, Charlotte and Louis: "She focused on coaching William, who will be the future king." Even so, the wife of the late Prince Philip was careful to bond with Harry: "She bonded very strongly with him, and they have this ability to talk to each other directly. And that affection continues."
The queen, a fulfilled great-grandmother
Proof that Prince Harry greatly esteems his grandmother, she was among the first to meet Lilibet Diana! The tensions with Meghan, the Megxit, the accusations of the Sussexes in the interview with Oprah Winfrey: all these things are just bad memories for Her Majesty, who prefers to look to the future rather than dwell on the past. Elizabeth II must now wait impatiently to meet her new great-granddaughter, even if it will not be for now. Indeed, during his next trip to England, Prince Harry will not be accompanied by Meghan or his little girl.
