A Month Without Queen Elizabeth II: From Carlos III’s Tears to Harry’s Tantrum

Queen Elizabeth II died on September 8 in Balmoral at the age of 96. His death ended the longest reign in the United Kingdom, 70 years and 214 days on the throne now held by his son, King Charles III of England. Today is a month without Elizabeth II and the changes in British royalty are not long in coming. The intensity of the early days of mourning prompted the heir apparent to shed some tears for his mother. “I know his death will be deeply felt in the country, territories and Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.”be the new king in his first speech after his mother’s death.

His tears, however, have become commonplace with the difficulties he had signing certain documents with a fountain pen. His first encounter with the pen came during his official proclamation as the new King of England, when he had to ask his assistant to remove a tray from the desk that prevented him from writing correctly. His face was a poem and it went viral in seconds. But his problems with the pen didn’t stop there. A few days later, the heir to the throne made a mistake in putting the date on a document and quite spontaneously exclaimed: “I can’t stand this damn thing!”. He misplaced the date, stained himself with the ink, and decided to leave, much annoyed by the astonished look of his assistants. Another beautiful moment that social networks did not let go.

While his early reign was marked by these two pen missteps, he is not the only protagonist in the events that followed the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The reunion of Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton also raised a lot of expectations and was analyzed with a magnifying glass. Harry’s wife’s nervousness was evident, while the new Princess of Wales seemed to handle the tension much better. The sisters-in-law barely exchanged a glance as the brothers tried to strike up a conversation between them, showing that little by little their relationship is recovering. It was the Prince and Princess of Wales who decided to invite the Sussexes to walk around and watch the sacrifices placed at the gates of Windsor Castle in honor of Elizabeth II. Meghan and Harry didn’t let go of their hands, while Kate and Guillermo had no contact at all physically, as specified in the protocol.

The latest controversy has been sparked by Prince Harry, who was angry after publishing the… first official photo of the new English royal family. The image came to light on the British royalty’s Instagram account on October 1, and has already been viewed more than a million times. Loves. In it, we see Camilla, King Charles III and the new Princes of Wales posing with smiles, though dressed in deep mourning, since the photo was taken on September 18 at Buckingham Palace.

The first act of the new era for the English was marred by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who published new portraits of the couple hours after Charles and Camilla appeared in Scotland. Two images, one in color and one in black and white, show Harry and Meghan posing hand in hand. Many believe that it is a full-fledged provocation, as it is strange that they decided to bring these photos to light on the same day that King Carlos III began his official agenda.

It seems that Harry and Meghan did not see the picture of the new English royalty with very good eyes. Rumors indicate a full-fledged tantrum of the king’s youngest son, who would not have liked the publication of this image. However, it was Harry and Meghan who decided to leave the English royal family, and it is true that it is difficult to understand this kind of anger on the part of the Sussexes. These days of mourning have made it clear that Kate and Meghan’s relationship seems impossible to mend.
