Britain's stubborn Duke of Sussex couple Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are on the front page again. According to the British "Daily Mail" and "The Sun" local time on August 29, the couple will not visit their 96-year-old grandmother Queen Elizabeth II during their return to the UK next week, "unless the police 24-hour protection issue is resolved." Considering the Queen's 96-year-old age and her recent deteriorating health, the couple's approach is particularly cool.
Harry and Meghan will "visit" the UK next week, one is to attend the youth summit in Manchester, where Meghan will speak; They also attend the WellChild Awards ceremony, which is dedicated to seriously ill children and their families, of which Prince Harry is a patron. Thereafter, they will leave the UK for Düsseldorf, Germany, to commemorate the anniversary of the Invictus Games.
Throughout the trip, the HarryMegans are idle on Wednesday and Thursday, where their royal family and media expected them to visit their grandmother at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, where Queen Elizabeth II, 96, is on holiday.
The word vacation sounds lighthearted, but it's not. Every summer, Queen Elizabeth II spends her summer at this castle in the Scottish Highlands, but this time is different from previous years.
Over the past few weeks, Queen Elizabeth II's physical condition has been declining, and the strong queen has become very inconvenient.
It is reported that her extremely worrying second son, Prince Andrew, spends his days with his mother at the castle, but he has his own confidants. Prince Andrew, who was involved in a disgraceful case over his ties to pedophile magnate Jeffrey Epstein, announced last year that he would not attend royal events in an official capacity. So, Prince Andrew became poor. He wanted to get his mother,'s forgiveness and permission, and he wanted to make a comeback.
The Queen's eldest son, Crown Prince Charles, now visits the Queen every day. This already explains the Queen's physical condition.
What was the Queen's own attitude towards the Harrys?
According to the Daily Mail, the Queen had already arranged for her courtiers to prepare for the arrival of Harry, Meghan and their two great-grandchildren, Azi and Lilybert in Balmoral.
The caring and worried grandmother knew that harry and other family members, such as their brother Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and sister-in-law Kate Middleton, had not yet frozen their previous suspicions, and specially arranged for Harry Meghan not to see other families.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the 96-year-old queen has been in the dark, and in the last stages of her life, she is particularly eager and cherished to meet with children who are not easy.
And what did Harry and Meghan do with these two children?
The last time the two visited the Queen in Balmoral was in 2018, when Archie hadn't been born. After Archie was born the following year, the Queen invited them on vacation again, but Megan refused on the grounds that Archie was too young to fly.
The Queen has seen her great-grandson Archie Jr. a handful of times, and her great-granddaughter Lilybert, who has the same name, only once.
In September, Boris Johnson is about to step down and the United Kingdom will welcome a new prime minister. The Queen needs to appoint the Prime Minister and invite him/her to form a government, which is the most important thing in the UK.
However, the Daily Mail and the Sun both said that the United Kingdom will usher in the first time in history that the new prime minister's kiss ceremony will not be held in London and Windsor Castle, Queen Elizabeth II is not on her feet, it is not suitable for a long journey, and the new prime minister needs to go to Scotland to meet the Queen.
In this situation, it is chilling that Harry Meghan still insists that the London Metropolitan Police do not provide them with 24-hour protection and that they do not visit their grandmother. If there is a real safety issue, is there no safety problem for them to participate in events elsewhere in the UK and around the world?
