Prince Edward and the rift with the Sussexes: "A very sad situation"
The fourth child of the queen talks about the tensions in the Windsor house after the departure of Harry and Meghan: "It's difficult for everyone, but families are like that." And she talks about the state of mind of the sovereign after the death of her husband Filippo: "She is reacting with a lot of work"
From the tensions caused by the departure of the Sussexes, to the mourning for the death of Prince Philip. Edward of Wessex gives interviews very rarely, but when he does he doesn't usually shy away from the thorny questions. Also this time, speaking exclusively to CNN, he expressed his opinion on the hottest topics in the Windsor house, starting precisely from the discontent linked to the real "resignations" of Harry and Meghan.
"It's a very sad situation," began the prince, the fourth and last son of Queen Elizabeth. «Anyway, families are like that, it's difficult for everyone. In any case, we wish them all the best possible ", especially in these days that have become bis parents thanks to the arrival of little Lilibet Diana. "Fantastic news, I hope they are happy and enjoying the beautiful moment."
Edoardo, therefore, is particularly sympathetic towards the Sussexes, despite recognizing that the privacy problem is common to the senior members of the royal family: "We have all had those same spotlights on our lives," said the duke, who has been married for 22 years to Sophie Rhys-Jones. "We have been subjected to massive media intrusion, everyone reacts differently."
Finally, the prince spoke about the state of mind of his mother, the sovereign, after the death of her beloved husband. “She is dealing with grief the right way. Of course, during the year there will be more difficult moments, but in the last few weeks you have been putting a lot of effort into your work. " As if to fill that void that today, on the day when Filippo would have turned 100, is probably making itself felt more.
"It is obvious that we would like him here with us to celebrate", concluded Edoardo. “Although he, to be honest, never liked the hustle and bustle. So let's celebrate his life and what he has done, transforming this into something positive ».
