A royal writer has revealed that one of Queen Elizabeth II’s final wishes was quietly fulfilled by her great-grandchildren in the months before she passed away. The late Queen died in September 2022 at the age of 96, after an unprecedented 70-year reign. According to biographer Robert Hardman, she had shared a simple but meaningful hope with her family earlier that same year, especially after a period marked by tension within the royal circle. Back in 2020, her grandson Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle stepped away from their royal duties and relocated to California. They later spoke publicly about their reasons, pointing to difficult experiences within the family. During a widely discussed interview with Oprah Winfrey, the couple made several serious claims. Harry said his brother Prince William and sister-in-law Catherine Middleton had treated Meghan poorly before their wedding. He also alleged that a senior royal had raised concerns about the skin tone of their son, Prince Archie. In addition, Harry later accused his stepmother Queen Camilla of leaking stories to the press to improve her own public image, describing the situation as deeply personal and complicated. Amid all of this, Hardman says the Queen remained aware of the family tensions and still hoped for some unity. While staying at Balmoral Castle during the summer of 2022, she expressed a wish for all her great-grandchildren to spend time together there, even if it wasn’t possible for everyone to attend. At that time, her great-grandchildren included Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, as well as Sienna Mapelli Mozzi and August Brooksbank. In the end, that wish was honored. In June 2022, Harry and Meghan returned to the UK for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, bringing Archie with them. Meghan was also expecting their daughter, Princess Lilibet, at the time. According to Hardman, the Queen simply wanted her great-grandchildren to share happy memories with her. And despite everything happening within the family, that moment of togetherness became one of the last things she was able to see come true.
