As her life drew to a close, an unexpected royal event occurred that left even her staunchest supporters stunned, revealing a huge legacy awaiting future generations. While the Queen was contemplating her long service on her deathbed, Meghan Markle made a bold request regarding Windsor Castle. This bold request sent shockwaves through royal circles. Unsurprisingly, Queen Elizabeth quickly rejected the proposal, thereby protecting the integrity of the royal legacy.
One might ask why Meghan, a new royal, felt entitled to request such a prestigious property. Her relationship with the royal family has been rocky, marked by her abandonment of royal duties and revealing her grievances in interviews. Some believe her claim to Windsor Castle was a last-ditch effort to secure her place in royal history. However, the monarchy is governed by a long-standing tradition that claims royal properties like Windsor Castle belong to the crown, not individual members.
Although Meghan is Prince Harry’s wife, she has no legal right to such an inheritance. Queen Elizabeth recognized this and maintained protocol in her final moments. In upholding these values, Princess Anne has sent a clear message that commitment and hard work are essential in the royal family. There is no place for those who seek fame without dedicating themselves to their responsibilities. The monarchy is focused on a promising future while Harry and Meghan appear to be stuck in their past grievances.
Another high-profile figure has emerged recently, Catherine Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge. There has been much speculation surrounding her potential future role in the royal family, especially in relation to Windsor Castle. As Prince William's wife, Catherine has taken on many royal duties and her commitment to tradition makes her a key figure in the future of the monarchy. Meanwhile, after stepping back from royal life in 2020, the Sussexes have moved to the United States to build a new legacy through charity and media projects.
They have recently faced a setback as the Waleses have raised an impressive amount of money, surpassing the amount the Sussexes have raised through their Archwell Foundation. At the heart of this royal situation lies the importance of tradition in an ever-evolving world. While some may view adherence to customs as old-fashioned, these traditions provide the monarchy with stability and strength. Windsor Castle will continue to represent royal power, and Queen Elizabeth’s legacy will serve as inspiration for future generations.
