Although Prince Harry seemingly had nothing but kind words to say about his beloved grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, one of her close friends reportedly said that both he and Meghan Markle made her final moments even more painful due to their “hurtful” attacks on the royal family.
This all started after The Sun reported that Prince Harry, 38, and Meghan Markle, 41, will no longer be sharing their thoughts about the royal family with the public, with a source telling the pub that we shouldn’t expect any more tell-all interviews, documentaries, or memoirs. “That period of [Harry and Meghan’s] life is over as there is nothing left to say,” the source said. However, a friend of the late Queen Elizabeth II doesn’t seem to believe that, and went on to make some very interesting and unexpected allegations against the Duke and Duchess of Sussex!
Queen Elizabeth II's Friend Criticizes Prince Harry And Meghan Markle
According to The Daily Beast, the late Queen's friend said that Harry and Meghan's actions in the months leading up to her death – i.e., releasing their Netflix docuseries and revealing that a tell-all memoir was on its way – really hurt her. The friend reportedly said that she was in a lot of pain in her final months, and was still grieving her late husband Prince Philip, while also struggling with her own health too. And the friend said that having to deal with the Sussexes' attacks did nothing to help her.
"For the last years of her life, certainly from when her husband died [in April 2021], the Queen was in a lot of pain," the friend began. "In the final months, of course, it got very much worse; by the time of the Platinum Jubilee (June 2022), she couldn’t see very much, she couldn’t hear very much, and she was easily confused. She barely moved from her apartments in Windsor Castle. Appearing on the balcony at the jubilee required a titanic effort."
The Queen's Friend References 'Hurtful' Harry And Meghan Docuseries
"That was the time for Harry and Meghan to bite their tongue," they continued, adding that their docuseries and the announcement of the tell-all memoir couldn’t have come at a worse time for the Queen. "Instead, they produced this unending stream of incredibly hurtful films and interviews attacking her life’s work," the friend said, adding, "For Harry to announce he was writing a memoir when his grandmother was not just recently widowed but actually dying herself, as he must have known she was – well, the cruelty of it takes the breath away."
The friend concluded by saying that "the idea that they are now going to take a vow of silence after all the damage they have done, even if it was true, which I very much doubt, will do nothing to assuage the anger and disgust some of her friends feel about what they did to the Queen in her final years."
