A friend is late Queen Elizabeth denied by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decision report stop divulging royal secretssaid that the couple should have kept their peace in the last months of the queen’s life when it apparently the queen is about to die and very physically painful.
The friend’s angry reaction came later a British tabloid story Sun announced that Harry and Meghan would stop creating content critical of the royal family, with an anonymous source saying: “That period of their lives is over because there’s nothing left to say.”
The bereaved friend’s outraged reaction presents rare insight into the closely guarded and highly secretive circumstances surrounding the death of Elizabeth, who passed away in Scotland in September 2022 due bone cancer, The Daily Beast understands.
A friend of the late queen told The Daily Beast: ‘Her last years, certainly since her husband’s death. [in April 2021]The queen was in great pain. Of course, in the final months it got a lot worse; By the time of Platinum Jubilee (June 2022), she couldn’t see much, couldn’t hear much, easily confused. She has barely moved from her flat in Windsor Castle. Appearing on the balcony at Windsor Castle in celebration requires a tremendous amount of effort.
“It’s time for Harry and Meghan to bite their tongues. Instead, they produced a stream of heartbreaking films and interviews that attacked her life’s work. For Harry to announce that he’s writing a memoir when his grandmother is not only recently widowed but actually dying, because he must have known her that way — well, the cruelty of it makes people hold their breath.
“The idea that they will now take an oath of silence after all the damage they have done, even if it is true, which I highly doubt, will not appease the anger and disgust disgust that some of her friends felt about what had happened. they did with the queen in her last years.”
Although the palace declined to comment at the time and her death certificate simply read “old age”, her friend, Gyles Brandreth, later reported that the queen had been diagnosed with cancer. bone marrow at the time of her death. The bereaved friend told The Daily Beast they didn’t know exactly what type of bone cancer the queen had, but said they didn’t understand why Brandreth was wrong.

However, sources told The Daily Beast that she also finds it increasingly difficult to concentrate or concentrate on complex matters for more than a few minutes and that the ongoing pain from her condition is part of the cause. causes her to withdraw from many aspects of public life. Although she was never photographed in a wheelchair, she use a regular to tour the palace, a source previously told The Daily Beast.
The anger expressed by the friend, to some extent, reflects the highly critical assessment of Harry’s behavior given by King Charles’ best friend, Lord Nicholas Soames. extraordinary. Interview with London time In the days leading up to the coronation, that was to some extent buried by mountains of coronation news.
Soames is angry Harry for his “hurtest” behavior toward his father, saying publish memoirs and giving interviews attacking the family deeply hurt and upset the king.
Soames said: “For Prince Harry… I can’t put myself in my son’s shoes, if he did that to me it would be the cruelest thing.” Later in the interview, when asked how Queen Camilla felt about Harry, Soames dodged the question and said that he had not discussed it with her, instead reverting to Harry’s public attack on the family he had. affected Charles, saying, “Of course it hurts, you can see it, written all over his face. Put yourself in his place. It is just unspeakable pain.”

A source, described as a “friend of the late queen” told telegraphy: “These are thrown in her face almost weekly. It had an impact. She lost Prince Philip, and then the constant ambush of the Royal family by a much-loved grandson took its toll. At that stage in your life and reign, you don’t need that above all else.”
Next week, Harry’s willingness to continue or stop attacking his family could be tested as he becomes the first senior member of the royal family to testify in court in more than a hundred years. Harry alleges that he was illegally monitored by Mirror Group Newspapers and has claimed, in a separate lawsuit, that he has been excluded from family discussions on the matter because he was deemed deemed unfit. is a “hothead”.
