According to the “Sunday Times”, generally well informed about monarchical issues, the queen will not follow the program that this Sunday will be broadcast on EE.UU. and tomorrow in the United Kingdom, but his environment – which calls the conversation a “circus” – is ready to retaliate if personal attacks are poured out.
The moment of the interview It is considered particularly inappropriate by Buckingham Palace, as Elizabeth II’s husband, Prince Philip, has been hospitalized for an infection since February 17 and has just undergone heart surgery.
The intention of the queen, according to the British media closest to the palace, is to try to ignore the dialectical battle in which the Duke and Duchess of Sussex find themselves and multiply their public activities in the coming weeks to highlight their role of service to society.
Elizabeth II will give a message recorded on a televised program this Sunday for Commonwealth Day, in which it is expected to address above all the effects of the pandemic but not to make indirect allusions to the conflict within the royal family.
Monarchical sources cited by the “Sunday Times” pointed out that the queen’s environment “it will burst forth” whether Harry and Meghan’s statements contain questions about the crown or personal attacks. “The mood in the family is: Could everyone just shut up for the fuck and could we just get on with the day’s work?” An unidentified senior Buckinghan official told Sunday.
The British press dedicates this Sunday large covers to the interview of the monarch’s grandson and daughter-in-law with Oprah Winfrey, which comes to be compared for its relevance with the one that Diana of Wales offered to the BBC in 1995, in which she revealed her problems marital and personal conflicts.
Over the last few days, brief excerpts of the conversation have been broadcast that will be broadcast by CBS in the United States. In the last of them, Meghan claims to finally feel free to make her decisions, something she could not do while working for the Royal Family.
Particular concern raises the possibility that Meghan Markle reveal fights that he maintained with his sister-in-law Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and wife of Prince William, according to the newspaper “The Sun”, which speculates that Buckingham’s revenge could go as far as snatching their titles from the Dukes of Sussex.
On February 19, Harry and Meghan confirmed to the queen that they will no longer work as members of the British royal family, after having decided a year ago to withdraw from the monarchy, start a new life outside the United Kingdom and become financially independent. in what was then known as the “Megxit”.
After this confirmation, the head of state decided to withdraw from her grandson – sixth in the line of succession to the British throne – the honorary sponsorships that he held and distribute them among other members of the family.
Days after that announcement, Prince William, second in the line of succession, was “truly sad and shocked”, according to sources close to him, by the behavior of his brother, in a few rare words in the normally calculated and measured vocabulary. of the members of the Firm, as the family is known among the British.
