Queen Elizabeth is, allegedly, seething at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after learning about their latest plans for a takeover.
According to reports, the queen was removed as the head of state of Barbados. And it didn’t take her long to find out that Barbados is trying to tap the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as their new head of state.
“The royals fear losing territories above all else, as it means their relevance – and earnings – plummet. Losing Barbados was a real blow for the queen and Harry is firmly in her crosshairs over it,” the source told New Idea.
According to the insider, Prince Harry is a revered visitor in Barbados. But the queen, allegedly, wants to draw a line between the Duke of Sussex stepping down as a senior royal and Barbados bowing out of the Commonwealth.
“Prince Harry felt a strong tie to Barbados, and the queen always allowed him first dibs on royal engagements there because he was so fond of it. But now that’s obviously unlikely to happen in anything but a private capacity so she doesn’t blame Barbadians for feeling like they’re losing out. She is petrified that other territories will follow suit,” the source said.
The insider also seemingly put all the blame on Prince Harry and Markle.
“It’s not like Prince Harry planned for this happen, but this is almost certainly part of the reason the Royals are already losing ground. It’s amazing how fast Commonwealth pride was at an all-time high when Meghan had each country’s floral emblem embroidered into her bridal veil to the dire straits it’s in now,” the source said.
However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt. Prince Harry and Markle aren’t taking over Barbados. The country decided to remove the queen as their head of state because they want to be a more democratic nation.
As such, it wouldn’t make sense if they will put two former senior working royals as their new heads of state.
But the insider insisted that anything can happen. And there are already rumblings in Jamaica.
“The consensus is that royal fans in their major countries of Australia and Canada are disappointed in Harry’s departure, too. If things keep up like this, Prince William and Prince George won’t have many realms to inherit – and that’s the concern that keeps her up at night,” the source said.
