London, April 15, 2022 – Surprise visit of Meghan Markle and Harry to Queen Elizabeth. A meeting that should have remained secret but which has been revealed since Daily Mailbefore a spokesperson for the couple confirmed the Bbc. The face-to-face was held on Thursday 13 April at windsor castle. In addition to the tributes to the sovereign, the dukes of Sussex would also have met the Prince Charles and his wife Camilla. A circumstance that has yet to be confirmed.
Meghan hadn’t touched British soil for two years, while 37-year-old Harry hadn’t seen his grandmother come on funeral of Prince Philip, in April last year. And it was at the end of March that the commemoration mass of Elizabeth’s consort was held in Westminster Abbey. Ceremony and subsequent family reunion where the absence of the Sussexes had made noise.
It is true that Harry has long opened a battle over safety issues for visits to the UK, even going so far as to initiate a lawsuit against the Home Office. He requests that he and his family be given an escort when they are in Britain, even at the cost of paying for it out of their own pockets.
The visit to Windsor, on the other hand, comes on the sidelines of the couple’s trip to Holland, on the occasion of the Invictus Games, games for British veterans with disabilities of which the prince is the patron. It is not known how the dukes reached England, whether by private jet or scheduled flight. They would arrive Wednesday and sleep at Frogmore Cottage, the residence they held after leaving England and where Princess Eugenie (Harry’s cousin) and her family currently live.
Then the two were spotted around the castle Thursday morning by a bus of excited worshipers who had arrived for the Royal Maundy service. A sign that perhaps this very secret visit was not. Now, in the alleys of Windsor, we talk about nothing else. After two years Meghan met the sovereign, even if the American actress – 41 years old in August – has always claimed that with Elisabetta there were frequent calls, even on video. The Queen is fond of all of her great-grandchildren, but she will have to wait a little longer to meet them as the Sussexes arrived in Europe childless.
Maximum reserve around the alleged meeting with Carlo and Camilla. Relations between father and son are strained, the wound opened by Harry’s choice of field has never been mended. What worries the Prince of Wales is now a memoir due out in the fall, a sort of autobiography of Harry.
First, next month, a volume signed by Angela Kelly, formerly Her Majesty’s assistant for clothing and still her informal confidant, will go on sale. A work that wants to be the sequel to ‘The Other Side of the Coin’, released in 2019, and which tells the difficult period experienced by Elizabeth during the lockdown at Windsor Castle. Including the days of the interview given by the dukes to Oprah Winfrey, in March 2021. With the accusations of racism addressed to the royal family that just preceded the death of Philip. The Queen herself has given the green light to the publication of the book: an unequivocal sign, according to the tabloids, that Her Majesty thus intends to respond – anticipating it – to Harry’s autobiography which already promises to be controversial.
