As news of Queen Elizabeth II’s declining health spread on Thursday, many people couldn’t help but question the role played by Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan.
Shortly after, the palace made the solemn announcement that the longest-reigning monarch in British history had peacefully passed away at her summer residence in Scotland, marking the end of an era known as the second Elizabethan age.
Ever since Harry and Meghan announced their decision to step back from their royal duties, it seemed to have caused a rift within the senior members of the royal family.
The aftermath of their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, coupled with other scandals and the passing of Prince Philip last year, only added fuel to the fire.
However, the headlines continued to focus on the toll that their actions had taken on the Queen, including the hurt Harry felt when his family was excluded from her 2019 Christmas speech.
Despite the ongoing speculation online, with some blaming Meghan for the decline in the Queen’s health and subsequent death, the couple faced additional criticism for their new Spotify podcast.
Reviews of the podcast were scathing, suggesting that it further tarnished the reputation of the royal family.
Lavon Spicer expressed their disappointment, while Katarina chimed in with her own thoughts.
Meanwhile, others believe that the timing of the Queen’s passing couldn’t have been worse for Harry and Meghan.
This was supposed to be their grand debut as a powerful couple, with press interviews, fresh content, and a mini-tour to generate hype.
However, the Queen’s death has forced them to cut short their tour, and their struggling podcast seems to have lost its momentum.
It feels as though the Queen took their shining debut with her into the afterlife.
Perhaps they could salvage the podcast by postponing the release of future episodes until after the funeral.
However, it’s worth noting that they didn’t suspend the release of the Oprah interview despite knowing about Prince Philip’s impending death.
This raises questions about whether they have learned from their past mistakes.
Furthermore, Harry was already in London when news broke about the Queen’s deteriorating health.
Surprisingly, he did not join the rest of the family on the same flight.
This raises speculation about whether there was a lack of space or if Harry and Meghan refused to set aside their feud even for a brief moment.
Time was running out, and it is unclear why they didn’t prioritize being together during this difficult time.
Additionally, Meghan’s change of plans regarding her travel arrangements has also raised eyebrows.
Could it be that an argument erupted between them, leading to her decision not to accompany the other royals?
Did they receive news of the Queen’s passing before boarding the flight?
These unanswered questions could potentially shed light on the strained relationship between the couple.
