For the sake of her goal, the queen was ready for anything.
Prince Harry went against his family, linking his life with former American actress Meghan Markle. Buckingham Palace sincerely believed that this relationship would not last long, but he nevertheless came to a wedding. And there is a simple explanation for this.
The Duke of Sussex has repeated the fate of his beloved grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain. Your Majesty has been happily married to Prince Philip for over 70 years. But few people know that the native queens were against this connection.
Elizabeth’s father George VI considered Philip an unworthy candidate for his daughter. Most of all, the king was embarrassed that the prince’s older sisters were married to German aristocrats and supported the Nazis.
In addition, the monarch was concerned about too cheerful disposition of a young man with foreign roots, which does not make him look sober heir to the throne. The king also considered the prince too rude and ignorant.
But Elizabeth did not want to hear that Philip was not suitable for her. The Queen was ready to rebel, if only she were allowed to marry her beloved, and therefore George VI had no choice but to come to terms with choosing her as a daughter.
