MThe four hadn’t performed together for more than two years. When they walked down the driveway of Windsor Castle together on Saturday night, no one expected them to be beaming at the Queen’s death either. But what was going on in them, how they relate to each other, remains speculation.
In any case, the cameras were mainly focused on the heir to the throne William and his wife Catherine, who is now the Princess of Wales. What Camilla was never meant to be – the future queen and wife of Princess Diana’s son will be the title so closely associated with the first wife of King Charles III. was connected, now granted.
Allegedly, William also took the first step towards his brother Harry, who, like William and Catherine with his wife Meghan, has been living on the grounds of Windsor Castle for nine days. The two came to Europe from California on their own behalf and were as surprised by the Queen’s death as the rest of the world.
The king spoke of love for his sons
Charles III shook hands with his second son on Friday. He spoke of his love for the two in his first address to the nation, which contradicted what Meghan previously said in an interview: Harry lost his father.
That Meghan kept grabbing Harry’s hand, stroking his back, that Catherine turned more to the children among the onlookers, William seemed a little distant, almost stately – everyone can read what they want from facial expressions and gestures. The fact that the drop has only increased from a purely hierarchical point of view remains a fact that Harry and Meghan will also have to learn to accept if they want to be on good terms with the royal family in the long term.
It may have been a new beginning, maybe a real friendship will develop, which will benefit from the distance over thousands of kilometers. But the Californian couple cannot afford any more cross shots, for example with spicy details from the royal family in the memoirs announced by Harry.
