The late Queen Elizabeth II was reportedly left "furious" and "devastated" by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in the years leading up to her death. When the Sussexes stepped down from their roles as senior working royals, the Queen warned them that their preference of being "half-in, half-out" was not something she would accept.
Commentator slams Sussexes for disrespecting late monarch
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield has argued that the Sussexes have been attempting to do this since Queen Elizabeth's death, slamming the couple for repeatedly disrespecting the late monarch. Speaking to Kevin O'Sullivan on TalkTV, Kinsey said: "When it comes to Harry's pursuit of the half in half out, I think that that is desperately what he wants. I haven't seen anyone else or any other couple try to put words or change history when it comes to Queen Elizabeth more than Harry and Meghan."
She added: "They put words in this deceased woman's mouth. Harry speaks about her in a way that I find completely disrespectful considering the fact that she's gone and she isn't here to defend herself or say that's not true."
Lilibet naming controversy
Kinsey explained that the late Queen was reportedly unhappy when Harry and Meghan named their daughter Lilibet after her in 2021. She continued: "They threatened to sue the BBC over the Lilibet drama and they had to back down because the palace and the Queen so forcefully said, 'Actually, no. You did not get our permission to name your child Lilibet.'"
Kinsey added: "Harry and Meghan continue to put words in this woman's mouth and continue to try to say that they had a relationship with Queen Elizabeth that they simply didn't have." She concluded: "At the end of the day, she made it clear to us she did not want these people half in, half out. And it should be period, end of story. They can't keep trying to change history!"
Queen's final years of upset
Kevin agreed, explaining why the late monarch was so deeply upset and angry with Harry and Meghan in the final years of her life. He remarked: "We now know that the Queen spent the last couple of years of her life variously in a state of being really upset and or furious with the gruesome twosome, particularly over her childhood nickname Lilibet."
He added: "She was known to say, 'I don't actually own all that much. Being the queen means you inherit a lot of property and great works of art, but they're effectively the states. They're not mine.' She said, 'I haven't got much. I've got my childhood name and they just stole it from me.' She was furious and devastated about that."
