A very protective grandson. In an interview with NBC and broadcast in full this Wednesday, April 20, Prince Harry explained that he makes sure that Queen Elizabeth II is surrounded “by the right people.”
Out of sight, but still close to the heart. Although he has permanently cut ties with the royal family of England, Prince Harry nevertheless remains very attached to his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. Before going to the Netherlands to attend the Invictus Games, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a stop at Buckingham Palace to visit Queen Elizabeth II. A first since the Megxit. After revealing the details of their reunion in an interview broadcast this Wednesday, April 20, on NBC News, Meghan Markle’s husband insisted that he was making sure the sovereign was well taken care of. “I’m just making sure that she’s, you know, protected and that she has the right people around her,” he told reporter Hoda Kotb.
Although benevolent, this statement did not go down well with royal experts, as revealed by our colleagues in the British tabloid The Sun. “His comment on American television is a gross insult to the entire royal family, the royal doctors and all the assistants around HM. His arrogance knows no bounds,” royal author Angela Levin took offense in a tweet. For his part, Robert Jobson could not hide his amazement at the comments made by the youngest son of Prince Charles. “I think you’ll find that Her Majesty’s children and William DO exactly that and support the Queen, with actions – not just words,” he carefully reminded. Once the trailer for this interview was posted online, experts on the British crown pointed to the “arrogance” of Archie and Lilibeth’s father. According to them, his comment is just a “crude insult”. Even in passing, Prince Harry does not cease to flow ink …
Prince Harry delighted with his reunion with Queen Elizabeth
“To be with her, it was great. It was so pleasant to see it”, rejoiced the prince Harry in front of the American cameras. Despite the distance that separates them, this geographical detail does not seem to have altered their beautiful complicity, as the little brother of Prince William confided. “Meg and I had tea with her. It was really nice to catch up on all that time”.
While concerns continue to grow around the state of health of the widow of Prince Philip, Harry took the opportunity to give reassuring news about her. “You know she’s in great shape. She always has a good sense of humor with me,” he said. A “very cordial” and “incredibly warm and good-humored” meeting that can be a good omen. According to the Telegraph, Elizabeth has invited the couple to appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during the celebrations of the platinum jubilee. Something to ease the many tensions that have existed within the royal family for several years?
