Even though the real anniversary was back on February 6, 2022, Queen
Elizabeth II marked the beginning of her 70-year reign in the first week of
June 2022. The Platinum Jubilee was celebrated during a four-day bank
holiday, and the public was invited to take part in a number of celebration
activities.
The Platinum Jubilee was the first in history because the queen had the
longest reign of any monarch in the nation. She was the first British queen
to rule for seven decades, making this a historic achievement not only for
her but for the entire globe. She is already the second-longest-serving
queen in history and has made history. After she surpassed two kings in
2022, Johann II of Liechtenstein and Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand, she is
only surpassed by one other monarch, Louis XIV of France. Nothing appeared
to be getting in the way of her doing all of her royal duties during her
reign, regardless of the challenges that were thrown her way.
Queen Elizabeth II overcame numerous challenges over her 70-year reign,
which regrettably came to an end on September 8, 2022, when she passed away.
Following a prior announcement from Buckingham Palace that she was receiving
medical care, she passed away while visiting her residence in Balmoral. The
royal family as a whole is inconsolable by their enormous loss, with news of
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry hurrying to the queen's side.
Meghan and the queen had a special and charming bond when they first met in
2017. The queen had the opportunity to meet Archie and Lillibet of Meghan
and Harry at her Jubilee before she passed away in September. Previously,
Meghan said that she delighted in the queen's presence.
According to TIME, Harry left his bride, Meghan Markle, by alone in London
and took a flight to Scotland to be with his grandmother. He travelled with
his uncles Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, according to PEOPLE.
According to TIME, Harry and Meghan were already in the UK for a journey
around Europe where they would be visiting charity activities "dear to their
hearts." The fact that it took place at the same time as the queen's
condition was getting worse was unexpected. The late queen, who was being
cared after at Balmoral Castle, reportedly had health difficulties that kept
everyone on high alert. According to PEOPLE, a statement had been made
public earlier in the day. The statement read: "Following additional
assessment this morning, The Queen's physicians are worried about Her
Majesty's health and have advised she stay under medical monitoring. The
Queen is still at ease in Balmoral. Tragically, on September 8, 2022, the
queen passed dead later in the day.
Even though Meghan only had a brief relationship with the queen, she
revealed that they were very close. The queen has always been good to me,
the woman said in a 2021 interview with Oprah. I've enjoyed having her
around. "She's always been nice, accepting, and inviting," she continued.
Meghan admitted that she was anxious before meeting the queen, but after
spending time with her, their bond deepened. We really participated in one
of our earliest cooperative activities. I boarded the train after she
invited me to go with her, said Meghan.
The queen, according to Meghan, made her think of her own grandmother on
multiple occasions. "And because it was freezing, mom said, "Meghan, come
on," and she put the blanket over my knees as well. She has a blanket that
rests across her knees for warmth. And it reminded me of my grandma, who has
always been kind, friendly, and welcome," she told Oprah.
When they attended the queen's Jubilee in June 2022, Harry and Meghan had
the opportunity to interact with her in person. Even their daughter Lillibet
got to see the queen for the first time. Harry and Meghan had a fantastic
time meeting the queen again, a royal insider told Us Weekly during their
visit. One of the biggest moments of their year thus far was that. According
to the insider, the queen felt her great-grandchildren were just adorable.
According to the insider, "She thinks they're cute and gave Lili and Archie
gifts."
The queen approved of the royal couple's lifestyle notwithstanding their
decision to discontinue their status as full-time royal members. In a
statement she issued in 2021, she revealed, "Today, my family had extremely
helpful conversations regarding the future of my grandson and his family."
"Harry and Meghan's wish to start a fresh life as a young family has my
family and I's full support. We accept and understand their desire to live a
more independent life as a family while still being a valued member of my
family, even if we would have preferred that they continue to work full-time
as Members of the Royal Family.
