dailyloe.com – Royal biographer Hugo Vickers has claimed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle caused significant stress for Queen Elizabeth II before her death. Vickers made the statement in an interview with Fox News Digital regarding his new book. The book examines the late monarch’s personal life and challenges.
Vickers specifically cited the couple’s 2020 exit from royal duties and their 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview. He described the resulting pressure on the Queen as ‘unforgivable’ in his view. The couple had initially been committed to Commonwealth work before stepping back.
Fox News Digital contacted both Buckingham Palace and the Sussexes’ office for comment. A palace spokesperson stated they do not comment on such books. A representative for Archewell, the Sussexes’ foundation, also declined to comment.
Vickers’s book, ‘Queen Elizabeth II: A Personal History,’ is based on sources close to the palace. It details the Queen’s triumphs and personal struggles throughout her reign. The biography aims to provide a closer look at her historic life.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex officially stepped down as senior royals in early 2020. They later gave a televised interview discussing their reasons for leaving. This period coincided with the final years of the Queen’s seven-decade reign.[]
