Queen Elizabeth’s death has put royal family feuds back in the spotlight. Meghan Markle, Harry’s wife, would be left out of an important moment
Even death can’t bring a broken family back together? So it seems: King Charles would have expressed a very specific wish to his son Harry and asked him for it reach Balmoral Castle alone and leave Meghan outside. But what really happened?
September 8, 2022 will be a difficult date to forget. Elizabeth II died at the age of 96 after a 70-year reign, making him the longest-lived ruler in Britain’s history. Her successor was her son Charles III, who became king at the age of 73.
His brothers Andrea and Edoardo and his sister Anna mourn with him; the grandchildren Harry and William (sons of Carlo), Zara and Peter (sons of Anna), Beatrice and Eugenia (daughters of Andrea) and Louise and James (sons of Edoardo); the 12 great-grandchildren, of which George, Charlotte, Louis and Lilibeth Diana, daughter of Harry and Meghan, stand out.
All the people gathered around the family and remembered Elizabeth II with emotion. Every day a stream of people passes through the gates of Westminster: There are those who leave flowers, some poems, some dedications and some implements in memory of the queen.
Carlo has already made his first speech in Parliament and remembers his mother as a woman who gave a lot to her country, irreplaceable and whom he will try to emulate with the support of the people. “I will follow the Queen’s example” he explained. Now he is preparing to visit the various cities of the kingdom to introduce himself as the new regent and to convey his greetings to the people.
Queen Elizabeth: “Meghan Markle must not appear”
The Queen’s death has also raised some doubts: will the family finally overcome the quarrels and be reunited, at least for the occasion? How will Harry and William behave?
Meghan Markle’s absence on the day of Elizabeth’s death caused controversy for many, but the truth is that Kate Middleton was absent too. In fact, Carlo specifically asked both children to come alone, without a spouse because he wanted the moment of parting to remain private. Harry made his way to Balmoral alone, just like his brother, although he couldn’t make it in time.
The truth is that King Charles is open to relationship repairs and recently wished Harry and Meghan a happy life. Tensions in the family seem to have easedand to demonstrate this is also the parade of the four together, without divisions, in front of the people who hurried to deliver their greetings.
