Arthur Edwards, royal photographer, confided in Piers Morgan this Monday, September 12. The opportunity for him to discuss the presence of Meghan Markle at Windsor Castle on September 10.
- Prince William invited his brother and Meghan Markle to Windsor Castle on September 10.
- A very unexpected appearance that surprised the British.
- According to Arthur Edwards, this invitation would be strategic.
This is sad news that was announced this Thursday, September 8. Elizabeth II died at the age of 96 at her residence in Balmoral, where she had been for several weeks. “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and Queen consort will stay at Balmoral tonight and return to London tomorrow“, we could read in a press release published by Buckingham Palace. Upset, Princes William and Harry, accompanied by their respective wives, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, went to Windsor Castle this Saturday, September 10. An image which the British did not expect and which, according to Arthur Edwards, would be purely strategic. Indeed, it was Prince William who proposed to his brother and his wife to join them. “When King Charles II said he loved Harry and Meghan in his speech, it also shook me,” the royal photographer first said before adding: “Then when Meghan got out of the car I was amazed“. According to him, the presence of Meghan Markle was a purely strategic reconciliation, so that she would not be the center of attention on the day of the burial of ELizabeth II. “They did it because by showing up for the funeral on Monday, Meghan would have been all over the headlines and the king doesn’t want that.” he continued before adding: “He wants all the attention to be on the queen and nothing else.”.
Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the royal family, tensions seem to be everywhere. Some tabloids assured that the two brothers don’t speak to each other at all and it is very rare to see them together. Thus, it is for a sad occasion that they met these last days. Upon their arrival at Windsor Castle, the four of them first walked around the flowers laid in tribute to the Queen before heading towards the Britons who were impatiently waiting for them. “It’s that Prince William phoned his brother“, explained Stéphane Bern on BFMTV before adding: “He asked her to accompany him to view the flowers and messages and meet the crowds waiting outside the Windsor gates.” A gesture that was much noticed but which, according to Ingrid Seward, a royal expert, does not mean that their relationship has improved. “William, as a big brother, wanted to make a gesture towards his little brother“, she first explained in the columns of The Mirror before adding:But the fact that they put their grudges aside for a day does not mean that they have reconciled or that they will“Will this sad ordeal allow them to find each other again?
Meghan Markle: why is she the center of attention?
Following their departure from the royal family, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle chained revelations more shocking than each other. During an interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Duchess of Sussex said she had been victim of racism and she had confided to having had suicidal thoughts. Since then, each appearance of the Duchess of Sussex has been widely commented on and her presence on September 10 has caused a lot of talk. If she is the subject of criticism in the usual British tabloids, they have welcomed the fact that she was present for her husband during this difficult ordeal. Meghan Markle, however, appeared very stressed and she did not hesitate to wait for instructions from Prince Harry before taking the slightest step. There is no doubt that his presence at the funeral of Elizabeth II will make people talk a lot since even if this reunion was flawless, the Windsors don’t seem ready to bury the hatchet.
