Queen Elizabeth does not stop: a smile against grief and controversy

All the strength of Queen Elizabeth, in one of the most moments complicated and painful of his life. The sovereign, just turned 95 (of which quasi 70 on the throne), was immortalized during a video conference institutional with the ambassador of Singapore, Lim Thuan Kuan, that of theUruguay, Cesar Rodriguez-Zavalla, and their respective wives: she from the castle of Windsor, parrot to Buckingham Palace.

The photograph – published on the royal family’s social networks – shows His Majesty’s smile, testimony of his will to don’t stop despite bereavement and controversy. Last month, in fact, he said farewell to Prince Philip, her husband since 1947. Then, as if that weren’t enough, he also lost Fergus, one of the two doggies dorgi than the son Andrea he had recently given her for cheer them up.

Parallel to this suffering, Elizabeth has the task of stemming the anger of the grandson which, for some months now, has not missed an opportunity to load with your head down the dynamics of the Palace. Before the bombshell interview issued to Oprah Winfrey with the hot accusation of racism, then the podcast featuring Dax Shepard with father Carlo in the viewfinder, finally, the latest attacks in the docuseries «The me you can’t see».

Among other things, the sovereign, which at the beginning had been explicitly sheltered from Sussex, she found herself involved in controversy in that Harry spoke both of the “Circle of pain” in the Windsor house (which goes on from generation to generation), both of the “Cold silence” at court (after the death of mum Diana). That is, he was sick, he asked for help to his family but no one listened to him.

The queen, who replied to the accusations of racism with a cofficial statement very conciliatory, he stopped answering point by point. Court insiders say that the grandmother-granddaughter contacts they are frequent, the two talk and confront each other. To date, however, forecast what the future will be is really complicated: the queen for now he shows himself smiling, the most important engine for to move on.
