After reuniting with Elizabeth II, Prince Harry said he was worried about her safety. If the Duke of Sussex is concerned, it is because he does not appreciate the presence of a member of the Crown with his grandmother.
At Buckingham, it is a small sentence that has caused a huge stir … From the Netherlands, where he attended the Invictus Games, Meghan Markle’s husband caused a heated argument about the security of Elizabeth II. “It was so good to see her … she’s in great shape,” he told NBC, which asked him how their secret reunion went. I’m making sure she’s protected and has the right people around her.” If the experts of the Crown initially thought that Prince Harry wanted to send a tackle to his father and brother, it would be nothing of the sort. According to the Mirror in fact, if the Duke of Sussex is worried about the safety of his grandmother, it is after watching the ceremony tribute to Prince Philip. At the end of March, Elizabeth II had made a controversial choice for her public appearance: to be accompanied by her son, Prince Andrew.
“These images of Prince Andrew escorting the Queen to Westminster Abbey may have upset Harry. This is surely one of the reasons why he made such a surprising remark,” a source from the Crown assured the tabloid. Harry knows the Queen’s aides and there is no animosity. The Palace knew he might do an interview, but no one expected this kind of comment.” According to Elizabeth II’s entourage, Prince Harry is reportedly concerned that Her Majesty has grown closer to Prince Andrew in recent months, since the scandal and accusation of rape against him. Although he is now retired from the royal family, the Duke of York continues to be omnipresent. And this should not change. Because in a few weeks, he should again accompany Elizabeth II to a very important and symbolic event.
Prince Andrew present at the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II
“He had to remain invisible during the Platinum Jubilee, so there was no chance that he would participate in any events. But the Queen needs a chaperone on all occasions at the moment due to her mobility problems and Andrew has designated the Trooping the Colour Derby as the one where he will accompany her,” assured a source. Once again, Princes Charles and William should be “dismayed” as it was the case after the ceremony tribute to Prince Philip. The presence of Prince Andrew was accepted “reluctantly” by some members of the royal family who were counting on his “good sense” not to seek the limelight after the scandal he was recently subjected to. But according to experts, Elizabeth II had everything planned behind the scenes: “It was her way of quietly showing, ‘OK, he really m**d up, it was a shame, but he’s my son'”.
