Queen Elizabeth has begun to work once again after several months of being in lockdown. Her Majesty has made a rare appearance via a Zoom meeting, which sees to her greeting several Ambassadors virtually.
Currently, the Queen is staying in Windsor Castle, while the Ambassadors were in Buckingham Palace.
Her Majesty has adapted the ‘new normal’ during the pandemic, and although this rare sighting of the Queen has caused a fuss, it is the room that she is in that has caught people’s attention.
Body-eyed fans of the Royal Family spotted a framed photo on the corner table, just above the Queen’s right shoulder showing the Cambridge children.
In the photo, you could see the outline figure of Prince George, 7, Princess Charlotte, 5, and Prince Louis, 2. It has been dubbed as an ‘adorable’ decoration by the Queen’s fans.
Although this seems like a harmless way of displaying a loved one, some fans believe that this is a subtle jab towards Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s only son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.
The pair who has exited the royal firm and stepped down as working royals have taken it up to themselves to move out of the country, bringing with them their titleless tot.
Several royal experts have explained the reason for the lack of photos of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in many of the Queen’s televised or virtual events. This is because the pair and their son are not in the direct line for the throne.
Still, fans cannot stop to think that Her Majesty is doing it on purpose. Last year, during her Christmas Speech, it was very clear that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s photo was deliberately ignored.
This year details of the Queen’s supposed speech will also remove Harry and Meghan’s narrative. Apparently, Her Majesty has no reason to include them now that they are ‘private citizens.’
Despite the Cambridge royals, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children not joining the Queen over the Christmas holidays, the Queen still places huge importance on them.
Vanity Fair reports that Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip are planning to spend a ‘quiet Christmas’ in Windsor Castle this year, breaking a three-decade tradition of spending it in Sandringham palace.
“The Queen has said that this is the year for her family to enjoy Christmases with other family members and not feel torn, as they often do when a royal Christmas takes priority,” Katie Nicholl writes in Vanity Fair.
