Queen Elizabeth has found Prince Harry's comments about her parenting "hurtful" while Prince Charles and Prince William are also livid over the revelations of the Duke of Sussex as he promotes his show on mental health.
Reports cited that Her Majesty is not impressed by what her grandson has been saying in the press as he keeps dropping one shocking revelation over the other about his royal life. According to sources inside the palace, the queen is not happy with Harry, especially after he said that he wants to break this cycle of pain and suffering in his family.
He alluded that this genetic pain has been brought on by bad parenting by Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip and also his father, Charles. He also said that he has long wanted to quit his royal life in his 20s because he didn't like the job. In the royal family, the queen is not only his grandmother but also his boss.
However, biographer Andrew Morton believes that Queen Elizabeth is sympathetic to Harry because she understands his struggles as the second-born child. The queen apparently sees Harry as similar to her younger sister, Princess Margaret, who also shocked the press in her younger years for her comments and stunts in public.
Margaret has been dubbed as the royal rebel in the same way that critics have called Harry for going against the grain and challenging the royal institution. Thus, in all of her statements about her grandson, the queen would usually emphasize that Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, remain well-loved members of the family.
However, fans of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex accused the royals of snubbing and overshadowing the couple on their third wedding anniversary on May 19. There were no public greetings from the royal family on social media. But it did not escape the fans when Queen Elizabeth and even Charles posted a greeting for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's 10th wedding anniversary last April. Instead, the queen's official social media accounts announced the pregnancy of her other grandchild, Princess Beatrice.
Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth is due to travel to Balmoral earlier than anticipated. Her Majesty usually makes a trip to the highlands for the summer but she is moving there with a small group of staff later this May.
According to reports, the queen is taking the time to grieve her husband, who died on April 9. She won't be staying at her castle, however, but in a seven-bedroom lodge within her estate. It is believed that Queen Elizabeth will have her niece, Sarah Chatto, accompany her.
