Funeral of Prince Philip, the Royal Family dressed in mourning
The whole world talked about the absence of Meghan Markle at Prince Philip’s funeral, alongside her husband Harry. And there was no shortage of insinuations and gossip about it, although she herself said that she did not leave on the advice of the doctor, to preserve her pregnancy. Meghan for many is the one who caused one deep fracture within the Royal Family, removing Prince Harry from his closest loved ones and from his country.
However a source very close to the Queen Elizabeth and at Buckingam Palace they would have revealed to People a detail that goes beyond the image of the “harpy at all costs” built around Meghan. Apparently the (former) Duchess of Sussex tried to fill his absence by contacting the Queen directly, just before the celebration of the funeral of Prince Philip.
A gesture of closeness as well as respect. Not only did Meghan keep in touch with her husband Harry, calling him every day during his stay in the UK, but she wouldn’t have spared herself even with her “grandmother in law”. Indeed, again according to the source of People, even little Archie he would talk to the Queen.
A news that shouldn’t come as a surprise at all, since Prince Harry himself claimed last February that he had frequent contact with grandparents. In an interview with James Corden’s The Late Show he revealed that both the Queen and Prince Philip used the Zoom platform for video calls and that, during these, they had been able to witness moments of ordinary everyday life of their grandson.
It is clear to everyone that Meghan Markle has thrown a real hurricane against the Royal Family English, with his statements to Oprah Winfrey, hard and heavy as lead. And for the same reason Harry’s return to his homeland was full of expectations. How would he behave? How would other Windsor household members (especially Brother William) react?
Prince Philip’s funeral was definitely an opportunity for rapprochement. But at the center of the event were the pain and sadness for the loss of an important person, which meant a great deal especially for the Queen. Certainly the balances have changed, even if only for a few days, so much so that the Queen herself “forgave” Meghan Markle for not showing up in London. Before the funeral, a source close to the Royal Family revealed to People that Meghan had contacted Her Majesty. to offer her condolences, as soon as the news of the Prince’s disappearance was heard.
Harry’s trip to England has certainly stirred the waters. And, why not, it could be the first pebble thrown into the pond of the reconciliation in the Windsor house. Sometimes the pain of loss brings people together with incredible strength, and perhaps, for a moment, Prince Philip’s death accomplished just that. THE Royals have shelved family matters, putting aside their problems to focus on what really mattered.
Prince Harry returned to California on Tuesday to his wife Meghan and little Archie, among other things, skipping the Queen’s birthday who turned 93 on 21 April. While it’s not confirmed, there may be a new meeting between Harry and William in July for the unveiling of a statue in honor of their late mother, Princess Diana. Meanwhile, everyone goes on with their own lives, while the fans of the Royal Family continue to hope for a happy ending.
