A car ride, one visit to his beloved ones horses in the stables and one day in nature. She spent a relaxing birthday Queen Elizabeth II which he accomplished yesterday 96 years old. Despite the ailments and walking difficulties, her Majesty had decided to pass the anniversary to Sandringhamthe place of the heart that she shared with her husband Philipand here, accompanied by the small circle of court loyalistsincluding his personal assistant Angela Kellyshe enjoyed the day in the countryside, away from the crowds, come on noisy celebrations (those await her in the weekend with the arrival of the host of all the lively grandchildren), and from concerns.
The decision to go to Sandringham had been read by royal experts as a “good sign” for his health. And in fact the photos that portray the Queen in the car, strictly in front seatnext to the driver, they show a sovereign in excellent shape for his age. And if in the first images, in which she wears hers foulard and sunglasses, Elizabeth II appears a little tense and frowning, as time goes by more relaxed: takes off the scarf, smiles and has a more relaxed face, indicating that the hours in nature have benefited her.
Among the trees, birdsong and the mild temperatures of the splendid spring day that yesterday the weather gave England, the Queen was able forget your headaches for a few hours that his family continues to do not spare them.
The last, in chronological order, came from the favorite nephew Harry. That after paying her a courtesy visit with his wife Meghan Markle before Easter, as he went in Holland where he was expected to Invictus Gameshas seen fit to release an interview on American television where he threw again arrows to the royal family.
With few, but very specific answers about his family, the prince managed to: renounce his homeland (“My home is the United States now”), complain once again of the question of his safety in Great Britain (“I don’t know if I will go to the Jubilee celebrations: there are still problems related to security”), issue a no comment of ice to the question about his father and brother (“At the moment I’m focused on the Invictus Games”) e play the card – which always works – of the poor Diana victim of the ferocity of the court (“I feel her closer than ever, she would be proud of me today”).
The only one he had positive words for was the Queen with which he boasted that he had an alleged special relationship (“He talks to me about things he can’t talk to anyone else about”), and that claims to have “found in excellent shape”. But even speaking of her he did not spare himself digs: “It was fantastic to have a tea in a context of privacy like it hasn’t happened for a long time,” he said, and then added: “I make sure Grandma has the right people around.”
How do you concretely make sureconsidering that he has been missing from England for two years, except for a hit and run for his grandfather’s funeral and another for the inauguration of the statue dedicated to his mother Diana, of course he didn’t explain itbut in London they know very well that the reference was to “Men in gray” who work at Buckingham Palace, and to the restricted circle of loyalists on whom the Queen relies.
Circle led by Angela Kellythe former dresser promoted to personal assistant, who has been alongside Her Majesty for decades (“much more than Harry, who caused his grandmother so much pain,” the British tabloids write): it seems that his gravest fault is that of never having “much taken” with the Duchess of Sussex, who then often complained to her husband. So much so that he – according to the Buckingham Palace corridor rumors – one day seems to have blurted out with Kelly and yelled the phrase at her “What Meghan wants, Meghan must have,” silencing her.
Naturally, none of these people have commented or will ever comment the words released by Principe al Today Showand if they have been well looked after too Dukes of Cambridge William and Katewhich with great elegance, when at yesterday’s meeting at Disaster Emergency Committeean organization of 15 charities specialized in humanitarian aid, they were asked the question “Should the Queen be protected?” they replied with a smiling silence. The well-informed, however, assure that William was very annoyed by the question and the fact that his brother’s statements were considered more important and interesting than the generosity of the British towards Ukrainian refugees.
Even from Clarence House they preferred not to comment. Because if the private visitwhich Harry and Meghan seem to have done to Charles And Camilla after going to Windsor with the Queen, he had somewhat heartened the Prince of Walesglad to see his son again after a long time, the immediately following interview has again cooled the spirits. And Carlo was told how “Really fed up” with “all this constant criticism”.
In short, what at Easter had seemed the olive branch who could restore peace to the family, ended up being, on the part of the Sussexes, alone a momentary gesture of courtesy (someone, like the real expert Tom Bowereven judged it «only one fiction to increase his credibility in America” and do business overseas). A disappointment for Charles and William, but probably less for the Queen. Who has been through so much that he will certainly not let himself be disheartened by umpteenth complaints of the “nephew of America”. And a walk in Sandringham Park is enough for you reassure yourselffeeling again close to her beloved Philip.
