Whereas, former royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes the old family matriarch would not be happy with the way things have turned out for the Sussexes, particularly given her close bond with Harry.
“She told OK! magazine: “I’m afraid the Queen Mother would have been mightily disappointed to see history repeating itself as Harry fell in love with a divorced American woman and then left royal life and went to live abroad… almost in exile, like her brother in law King Edward VIII, who abdicated for the love of Wallis Simpson.”
Since leaving the UK for the US and stepping down as a working royal in 2020, Harry has criticised his family and the royal set-up on a number of occasions.
In Spare, he alleged he was left with stitches after a physical altercation with William. He admitted to Oprah Winfrey he was on “different paths” with his sibling and hoped things would “heal”.
It comes after a commentator suggested Harry would have missed out on the inheritance had the Queen Mother been aware of what was to come.
Speaking to Fox News, Christopher Andersen said: “Of course, the prince’s great-granny couldn’t have anticipated all the trouble Harry caused the rest of the family. I think she would have cut him out of [the trust] entirely had she known.”
