KEY POINTS

  • Royal experts praised Queen Elizabeth for maintaining a strong front despite all the issues and predicaments she has faced in the past year
  • Her Majesty has, reportedly, been striving very hard as she faces some of the 'most stressful days' of her 68-year reign
  • Queen Elizabeth, allegedly, misses Baby Archie so much

Queen Elizabeth has been through a lot in the last 12 months. Reports claimed that Her Majesty has been in the “most stressful” days of her 68-year reign lately. The wife of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, has faced numerous issues including Prince Andrew’s alleged involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s royal exit and the separation of two royal couples: 1) David Armstrong-Jones, the second Earl of Snowdon, and Serena; and 2) Peter Philips and Autumn.

Recently, Who Magazine shared royal experts agreed that Queen Elizabeth has demonstrated “unbelievable strength and dignity” amid all the quandaries and controversies life has been throwing at the royal family. On Feb. 19, Her Majesty “looked a symbol of strength” on her bold purple ensemble during the opening of the new building that connects the Eastman Dental Hospital and Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital together. The grandmother of Prince William and Prince Harry was even snapped while talking with some nurses and hospital staff despite all the family dramas she has to endure.

The entertainment news publication even shared that Queen Elizabeth has managed to maintain a strong front even after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry released a “disrespectful” response to her decision to ban them from using their royal titles. To recall, Her Majesty was forced to clarify that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex should drop their “HRH” titles after the controversial “Megxit.”

“Given the specific UK government rules surrounding the use of the word ‘royal’, it has been therefore agreed that their non-profit organization when it is announced this spring, will not be named Sussex Royal Foundation,” a statement from the Buckingham Palace read. Meghan and Prince Harry, then, released their response a few hours after. “There is not any jurisdiction by The Monarchy or Cabinet Office over the use of the word ‘Royal’ overseas,” it stated. “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex do not intend to use ‘Sussex Royal’ or any iteration of the word ‘Royal’ in any territory (either within the UK or otherwise) when the transition occurs Spring 2020,” the said in a statement published on their official website.

Meanwhile, Marie Claire reported that Queen Elizabeth misses Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor so much. It can be recalled that the 9-month-old royal baby and his parents flew off to Vancouver Island in late 2019 where they, reportedly, celebrated the holidays. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s son has not returned to the United Kingdom since.

Royal insiders claimed, per Express.co.uk, the mother of Prince Charles is “very sad” that she has not seen Archie since his birth. The media outlet even reported that some members of the royal family were disheartened over how little they have seen Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s bundle of joy. Queen Elizabeth has yet to comment on these claims.
