Wave after wave, wave after wave. Having just been painstakingly stripped of Prince Andrew's honorary rank and royal patronship, the grumpy Prince Harry came to cause trouble again. According to the latest reports from foreign media, the 95-year-old Queen is really tired and angry.
On January 15, Prince Harry threatened to sue him (HO) after several rejections of his offer to buy 24-hour "police protection" services for himself and his family during their stay in the UK out of pocket.
Harry's unreasonable request once again caused a big wave of "shocks" in Britain, and the queen, who was already upset enough, felt that this grandson, who did not know how to restrain and would erupt at any time, was really "incurable". According to Ingrid Seward, a royal expert and editor-in-chief of Queen's Magazine, "The queen's most intolerable thing is the threat, and although Harry's threats are not directed at her personally, they are also directed at the departments under her jurisdiction, which makes her feel both angry and irritable." ”
For this grandson, who acted like a spoiled child at any time, the queen felt too dangerous for his casual behavior over the past two years. Harry's "bottomless provocation" finally made the Queen determined to stay away from him and his former American actress wife, Meghan Markle, in the future.
At the same time, Harry's willful behavior and The current situation in which Andrew was almost "expelled from the royal family" also forced the British monarch, who is about to turn 70 years old, to consider another issue. Under existing laws, the monarch has the power to appoint two or more Counsellors of State to perform her duties on her behalf. Currently, the royal family has 4 "Counsellors of the State" ( who also held this position before Prince Philip 's death ) – Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince Harry and Prince Andrew.
It is understood that the purpose of this office is that in the event that the Queen is unable to perform her duties due to illness or visits abroad, they (at least two or more State Counsellors are present at the same time) will have the power to sign important documents on behalf of the Queen, attend important meetings and make decisions, etc.
Previously, although Harry had withdrawn from the royal family, he could still exercise the powers of the Cowsellors of State if the Queen had the above situation and Harry happened to be in England. However, the fact that Andrew was stripped of his title for "sexual assault" prompted the Queen to seriously consider a very important question because of his series of arbitrary acts of withdrawing from the royal family and the fact that they were recently stripped of their titles for "sexual assault"; that is, if the two were still "in their places", if there happened to be a situation in her old family that could not exercise the monarchy, and william and Charles were both visiting at the same time, what terrible consequences would these two "seek their own government" bring to the British Royal Family and Britain?
The source told the media: "This is a real problem that the royal family is looking to solve. Can you imagine how terrible it would have been if Andrew and Harry had signed important documents? What if Prince William and Prince Charles happened to be abroad, and if the Queen happened to be ill? It is no exaggeration to say that this will plunge the monarchy into a real crisis. ”
With this possibility in mind, it was revealed that the Queen was considering removing the two from the list of "Counsellors of State". And if this thinking is put into practice, who will fill the position?
According to the existing regulations, those who are eligible for this position must first be over 18 years old, followed by senior members of the royal family, and must also be as high as possible in succession. Such a screening first excluded Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis; combined with the latter two, it is reported that Princess Anne ranked first among the queens. Another candidate will be Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. The reason why it is Camilla is self-evident. As the wife of a future king, like the former Duke of Edinburgh, Camilla automatically rose to the rank of "Counsellors of State" once Charles succeeded to the throne.
The current situation is very likely to cause Camilla's early "promotion". If this assumption holds, for Harry, it's more than just a blow to himself. Camilla becoming queen is the last thing Harry wants to see, and if his "hated" stepmother is "promoted" early because of his willful behavior, Harry will regret his willful behavior.
The world is so impermanent. If camilla has become the biggest winner because of himself, I believe Harry will beat his chest and stomp his feet.
