This Friday, September 8, marks the first anniversary of the death of Elizabeth II, the oldest queen of England in history. With more than seven decades dedicated body and soul to the British throne, Elizabeth II died in Balmoral Castle, Scotland, due to her “advanced age.”
For this emotional and important day, the British Royal Family plans to remember her privately and has not scheduled any type of public act or event. However, the member who will almost certainly not be present at the tribute will be Prince Harry.
After his death, the apparent union of the Windsors has ended up exploding and tensions at Buckingham Palace have become the main protagonists week after week. Although his reign was not free of controversy, the truth is that he always tried to maintain an image of family unity, leaving differences aside in order to avoid scandals.

The reign of Charles III seems to be marked by the monarch’s differences with his young son, Harry, with whom the estrangement is increasingly palpable. Without Elizabeth II to mediate, tensions between the two have been increasing.
Since Meghan Markle and Harry decided to leave the British crown, relations with the British royal house have been decreasing and are currently hanging by a thread. The publication of the Duke of Sussex’s book, Spare, where he reveals some secrets about his family, has been one of the first triggers, along with his first documentary released on Netflix.
Neither Prince Harry nor Meghan Markle are willing to be away from their children and fought for custody of both.
Since then, a series of disagreements and discrepancies have occurred, ranging from the modification of Prince Harry’s Royal Highness status by Buckingham Palace, to the change of Meghan’s name on Archie’s birth certificate and his interviews. to different media, until the recent documentary Corazón Invictus, in which he indirectly sends several reproaches to the Windsors.
Although Harry and his brother, Prince William, seemed to have a good relationship, now their bond is practically non-existent. The two children of Diana of Wales and her respective wives, who were once nicknamed The Fantastic Four, were last seen in public on September 19, 2022, during the final farewell to Elizabeth II.

After the death of Elizabeth II, her eldest son took the reins of the British throne as Charles III, a king who came to the crown at almost 74 years of age to assume great responsibility and win the hearts of the people. Although one of his wishes is to keep his mother’s legacy up to par, the truth is that it is becoming quite complex for him.
The fact that he has not been able to calm the waters within his family and his attitude of superiority are two issues that have hindered him among the population of the United Kingdom in terms of popularity. In fact, you could say that his mother’s first anniversary coincides with his annus horribilis.

At his coronation, the former Prince of Wales relegated his youngest son to the back rows, where his brother Andrés was also located, who has lost all his military titles since 2019 due to his sexual abuse scandal and has been forced to leave his home in Windsor. This action revealed the cold relationship between the family, in which there seems to be no room for reconciliation.
Charles III wants to establish changes in his reign, such as reducing the monarchy’s considerable expenses, making it clear that it is something that concerns the kings and, now, princes of Wales. While these new challenges are set, history at Buckingham Palace continues without Elizabeth II.
