NOT GOING AWAY
If Her Majesty thinks the fallout from Harry and Meghan’s allegations will blow over soon, Duncan feels she is sadly mistaken. Duncan adds, ‘The only certainty is that this most serious accusation will
‘ONLY THEN CAN WE JUDGE’
not simply disappear. The public have a right to know what was said by who because only then can we judge whether the comments were racist and offensive, or indeed whether they happened at all. If the issue is not put to bed, then a question mark will forever hang over the Royal Family itself.’
But it seems that one thing she is desperate not to do is push Harry further away from the family. It’s no secret how close Her Majesty and Harry have always been, and Meghan insisted during her chat with Oprah that the
Queen was ‘always wonderful’ to her. A palace insider tells us, ‘She will speak directly to Harry prior to any statement she issues on behalf of the entire family and will hope the Sussexes will be satisfied with the outcome of her investigation.’
So it should be no surprise that the Queen is treading carefully and considering all of the possible outcomes before making her next move. Duncan finishes, ‘The ball is now in the Queen’s court and the world is watching to see what she will decide.’
