this whim to which Queen Elizabeth II did not give in

During her lifetime, Queen Elizabeth II always stood up to the whims of family members. Even when it comes to her grandson, Prince Harry. When Meghan Markle and Prince Harry asked too much, Queen Elizabeth II knew how to stand up to them and impose her choice. Since their departure from the British royal family, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not stopped talking about them. And for good reason, they multiplied the appearances in which they took advantage of their speaking time to reveal new scoops on their life within the royal family.

Many books published in recent years are also full of crisp revelations. The latest: The New Royals, signed by royal family expert Katie Nicholl. According to her, the princely couple wished to have a suite of apartments at Windsor Castle. A whim to which Queen Elizabeth II, who died on September 8, 2022, did not give in! “When Harry and Meghan announced their wish to leave Kensington Palace, the Queen offered them Frogmore Cottage in Windsor Great Park as their new home” reveals Katie Nicholl in an excerpt shared in the Mail on Sunday.

Meghan Markle and Harry didn’t get what they wanted

Meghan Markle and Harry therefore did not have the suite of apartments at Windor Castle that they were hoping for. And for a very specific reason. By offering them what he wanted, Queen Elizabeth II shared with them the entrance to his backyard and would thus lose all his privacy and tranquility that she picks up there. Elizabeth II therefore made this decision hoping that her grandson and his wife would understand it. In April 2019, the couple therefore settled into their new home, but not for very long. In January 2020, the Sussexes have announced that they have decided to leave the British royal family. Queen Elizabeth II will not insist. After a few meetings with the other members of the royal family, she states: “Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be very beloved members of my family.” Leaving the Royal Family of England, Harry renounces his titles and his military commands. His family will no longer be supported by taxpayers’ money. Meghan, Harry and their son then flew to Canada before packing their bags in Montecito. Today, the little family welcomed a youngest, named Lilibet.
