The Sun publishes a new scandal involving Prince Harry and Queen Elizabeth II
Recently, The Sun revealed a new scandal involving Queen Elizabeth II and her grandson during the preparations for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding. The monarch was upset by how the couple managed the organization of the event, especially regarding the guest list. Many celebrities were invited, while close relatives were left out, which caused tensions.
According to the outlet, Queen Elizabeth II expressed her frustration with a blunt phrase: "But it's my house — and I'm paying for this." The situation became even more complicated when Harry and Meghan decided to contact the Archbishop of Canterbury directly to officiate the wedding. This move was perceived as a challenge to traditions and caused displeasure among members of the royal family.
In addition, according to sources close to the matter, Elizabeth II was more excited about Princess Eugenie's wedding than about Harry and Meghan's. In fact, Meghan's pregnancy announcement that same day was considered by the queen to be ill-timed, even "rude" according to some sources.
These new details about Queen Elizabeth II's disagreements during Harry and Meghan's wedding provide a previously unknown perspective on the complexities within the royal family. Despite the passage of time, the tensions and differences persist in the public memory. Without a doubt, these revelations will continue to generate debate and reflection on the private life of the British monarchy.
