The entanglements surrounding the British royal family continue to feed the publishing market and the film industry with proposals that allow us to approach the monarchy with different eyes each time. On this occasion, the narrator is Robert Hardman, analyst, film director and chronicler of the British monarchy for more than three decades. From his latest book, “Charles III: New King, New Court”, he had already advanced some extract detailing the last hours of Queen Elizabeth, but it remained to know how the abandonment of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex really impacted him, taking into account his known predilection for his grandson Harry.

His departure made the queen resign, at least in part, according to this biographer, and served to bring closer positions with Charles III, with whom she maintained very different opinions throughout her life on relevant issues. In those last years of the monarch that Hardman reconstructs, mother and son united in their firmness to design an action plan that would commit Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to combine their public duties as members of royalty with their private jobs unrelated to them. the Royal House.
Their decision was of little use and a few months later, the couple surprised the family again with their shocking revelations in the famous interview with Oprah Winfrey. It represented a new challenge for King Charles and Queen Elizabeth, this time affected by the tremendous emotional setback. “I don’t think anything could overcome the enormous shock of the interview,” Hardman says. The damage continued with the Netflix documentary, Harry’s explosive memoirs, where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex insisted on revealing the Windsors’ dirty laundry.

After speaking with royal assistants and people in the king’s inner circle, the author points out that both Elizabeth II and Charles overcame their sadness and decided to act pragmatically. There was no disagreement on this. Far from feeling overwhelmed, they both resigned themselves and, following Hardman’s narrative, thought something like, “There’s so much to deal with right now that I can’t afford to think about it anymore. If this is what you want, go ahead.” “The door will always be open.”

This thought makes more sense now that the royal family is experiencing a vulnerable moment due to the health of Kate Middleton and King Charles, as well as that of Sarah Ferguson, recently diagnosed with aggressive melanoma.
