'Harry's public attacks did harm - The Queen was fed up before she died'
When his grandmother died last September, Prince Harry’s relationship with the rest of the royal family could be described as fractious at best.That explosive Oprah Winfrey interview in March 2021, plus fears surrounding what other bombs might be detonated in his and his wife’s Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, had shaken the Firm’s foundations.Then, less than a month before the Queen’s death, came Meghan’s Spotify podcast, Archetypes, in which she detailed the toll being a working royal took on her mental health.The Sussexes’ very public attacks on the royal family came at a challenging time for the Queen, whose health had noticeably deteriorated since the loss of her husband, Prince Philip, the previous April. “So much happened while she was still alive and it must have made her last year more difficult,” says royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams.
