Hard change of course in the palace!
From now on, the Queen wants to speak out - she is said to have instructed courtiers to correct untrue reports.
London - Not because of “never complain, never explain”!
The Queen now seems to have had enough of that.
Because while Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan continue to give interviews about the royal family and their lives as royals, the Queen always chose the variant of silence and did not comment on allegations.
Queen Elizabeth: coverage of Harry and Meghan revelations continues
What exactly does she think of the reveal interview with Oprah Winfrey?
Or whether Harry's stories in a podcast interview or his Netflix documentary are correct from the monarch's point of view?
Not clear.
But the explanations in the interviews are not enough.
There are also rumors and speculations from “insiders” and “experts” who want a closer look behind the palace walls.
Meghan and Harry's daughter: controversial reports over the name Lilibet
The current focus of the discussion: the name of the newborn Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
Has the Queen been asked for permission or not?
After all, it is the nickname by which the Queen was called by her late husband Philip.
Different media reported differently, so Harry and Meghan's lawyers got involved.
In a statement it says: “The Duke spoke to his family in advance of the announcement.
In fact, his grandmother was the first family member he called.
During this conversation he shared her hope to name Lilibet in her honor.
If she hadn't supported him, they wouldn't have used the name. "
Royals: Queen Elizabeth apparently announces a tough change of course
As the
Mail on Sunday
now reports, this back and forth should now come to an end.
And through an enormous change of course.
Accordingly, the queen no longer wants to remain silent when "untruths" about the royal family are spread in public.
The Queen instructed courtiers to correct any statements that would be misrepresented.
This applies to both their own private conversations and those of other high-ranking royals.
An extraordinary step that represents a hard break with the “never complain, never explain” rule.
The cause is said to be the anger of the Queen over the transatlantic briefing war over the new name of her great-granddaughter.
The 95-year-old was last seen in public at her birthday parade “Trooping the Color” and hosted a reception at the G7 summit.
