Royal Family News: Queen Adored Prince Harry Despite His Ugly Smear Campaign Against His Family

British royal family news shows that a new era has dawned upon the UK with the passing of 96-year old Queen Elizabeth on September 8. Her oldest son and heir is now monarch and there is no doubt that 73-year old King Charles is eager to make his mark on history. Will he be able to accomplish one significant thing that his mother could not?

According to historian Robert Hardman, one of the late Queen Elizabeth’s fondest desires was that the fractured royal family mend fences in her lifetime.

Royal Family News – The Queen Wanted Peace

There are two glaring rips in the fabric of the modern monarchy and their names are Prince Andrew and Prince Harry. The former was kicked out of the monarchy in February and the latter kicked himself to the curb in 2020.

This year Prince Andrew settled a long standing stain on his reputation by handing over millions of dollars to a woman who accused him of sexually abusing her when she was a minor; he denied the charges against him. Two years ago Harry and his basic cable actress wife Meghan Markle fled the UK for a life of greed in the US (they termed it “financial freedom”).

Royal Family News – The Monarchy Needs Mending?

Allegedly Andrew was Queen Elizabeth’s favorite child, and that relationship appeared to stand the test of time. It may surprise royal fans that the monarch also continued to hold Harry close to her heart despite his unyielding verbal attacks on his family.

Robert Hardman, author of Queen of Our Times: The Life of Elizabeth II, told People that the Queen, “adored Harry right to the end, and Harry adored her.”

“I think she was one of the conduits between Windsor and California, and it would have been one of her dearest wishes that [the family] patch things up.”

Royal Family News – Harry Trashed His Family

The Queen’s state funeral was held this week and even Harry and Meghan were present. Through a coincidence, they were in the UK when his grandmother passed. Samantha Cohen, the Queen’s former assistant private secretary, thought that the entire clan, “looked tired,” at the end of the ten day mourning period.

She added, “Now it’s real, and the real mourning starts. The reality of life without the Queen starts now.” Will Harry honor his grandmother by mending fences with his family? Stranger things have happened.
