Queen Elizabeth II wanted to see her family happy again

Queen Elizabeth II, who died on September 8 at the age of 96, made one last request. She wanted her son and successor, King Charles III, and grandchildren William and Harry to reconcile, according to British royal family historian Robert Hardman in an interview with People magazine.

The historian said that Elizabeth II was aware of the fights within the family, the departure of Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, from their royal duties, and wanted to see everyone living in harmony again. “She knew that conflicts were part of life and she didn’t hold grudges. Above all, she wanted to see her family happy,” Hardman told the publication.

Princess Diana's sons, William and Harry, have had a turbulent relationship for years. The relationship between the brothers worsened after an interview between Harry and Meghan with American presenter Oprah Winfrey. At the time, they said that members of the royal family had commented on the color of the couple's children's skin and exposed internal conflicts, including with Princess Kate Middleton, William's wife.

Shortly after the queen's death, in his first speech as king, Charles III paid a brief tribute to his children, naming William Prince of Wales, and expressing his love for Harry and Meghan, as well as wishing them both luck in their lives abroad. .
