Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and the others at Royal Ascot
Busy days for the Queen Elizabeth who must accept the divorce of his first grandson, Peter Phillips, son of Princess Anne, who has formalized the separation from his Canadian wife Autumn Kelly. And at the same time he had to give up Royal Ascot for the second time in 69 years.
But let’s proceed in order. If the world is focused on the affairs of Harry and Meghan Markle with the crying fit that the Prince would have had before the wedding, talking with his ex Chelsy Davy, to put an end to their union in a completely discreet way were Autumn Kelly and Peter Phillips, cousin of William and Harry and brother of Zara who this year gave birth to her third child to the delight of great-grandmother Elizabeth.
Autumn Kelly and Peter Phillips, both 42, divorce after 13 years of marriage and two daughters, Savannah, 10, and Isla. Peter therefore followed in the footsteps of his mother, Princess Anne who separated from her first husband, Mark Phillips, as well as the father of her two children in 1992, and then remarried to Timothy Laurence.
Peter is the Queen’s first grandson to divorce and the formalization of the separation could not have come at a worse time, when the Royal Family was severely tested by the Sussex accusations and the death of Prince Philip. While he does not show it, this event will certainly have saddened Her Majesty further and dealt another blow to the unity of the Royal Family. On the other hand, three of the Queen’s four children are divorced.
To add disappointment after disappointment, the renunciation by Elisabetta al Royal Ascot, the most glamorous traditional horse race in the country. Last year it took place behind closed doors due to the pandemic, while this year the Queen is not present at the event for security reasons always linked to Covid. He is alone the second time in 69 years that His Majesty is not present.
Representing Buckingham Palace, Princess Anne, her daughter Zara, Carlo and Camilla attended with a pearl gray striped look (including mask) that almost looks like a dressing gown.
The Queen instead follows the race on television at Windsor Castle where she also received Joe and Jill Biden.
