A new book by Tom Bower said Queen Elizabeth II was relieved that Meghan Markle wasn't going to attend her late husband's funeral.

Inevitably, the public reaction would be unenthusiastic," Bower wrote. I've seen the business model. Queen Elizabeth II was relieved when she learned that Meghan Markle was not attending Prince Philip's funeral in 2021, according to a new book excerpted by The Times of London.

Tom Bower's book 'Revenge: Meghan, Harry And The War Between The Windsors' also claims the Sussexes demanded to be on Buckingham Palace's balcony during the ...

She doesn’t need to be there for that.’ A source told Mail Online: ‘She said the Queen understands her absence and would want her to stay safe and healthy for the baby. Last year, it was reported that Meghan told friends one of the reasons she was not attending was because she ‘doesn’t want to be the centre of attention’.

ZARA TINDALL is the eldest granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II. What does their body language suggest about their relationship?

"Zara is probably the most openly tactile and spontaneous-looking member of the Royal Family as well as being the most good-humoured-looking one and both those qualities seem to have a very positive effect on the Queen. "It is perhaps made more relaxed because Zara is not an official member of ‘The Firm’ and so can see and treat the Queen purely as her grandmother, rather than also being her boss." The Queen is seen less often with Zara Tindall than some of her other grandchildren.

The book states: “‘Thank goodness Meghan is not coming,’ the monarch said in a clear voice to her trusted aides.” He adds: “In Meghan’s view those optics were unsatisfactory, partly because her value to Netflix was to stand near the queen.” Queen Elizabeth II is alleged to have said “thank goodness Meghan is not coming” to her husband Prince Philip's funeral, according to unnamed sources cited in a new book.

PRINCE HARRY's requests to the Queen and her advisers to appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with Meghan Markle during the Platinum Jubilee ...

However, prior to this announcement, Prince Harry had asked both Her Majesty and her "resistant advisers" for permission to appear on the balcony during the long bank holiday weekend, biographer Tom Bower has claimed in his upcoming book 'Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors'. Mr Bower claimed in his book: "The Sussexes arrived late. "Instead, they would be confined to the VIP enclosures. "It was really nice to catch up with her and, you know, home for me now is, you know, for the time being, it's in the States. And it feels that way as well." "Yet the issue of their appearance on the balcony remained unresolved." He added: "When this failed he asked the Queen if he could visit her in Windsor on his way to the Netherlands for the Invictus Games.

Bridgerton's Lady Danbury has a secret in the books that hasn't be revealed, but the prequel series could shed light on her bond with Queen Charlotte.

It’s possible Queen Charlotte and Violet Bridgerton know a lot more about Lady Danbury’s family life and the prequel series could illuminate more, developing Lady Danbury into an even more dynamic character. A part of that will involve Lady Danbury guiding Queen Charlotte as a newcomer, which could lead to the royal spending more time with her and her children. But for all of Lady Danbury’s strong and engaging presence, there is very little known about her time before the start of the Netflix series.

Revenge: Meghan, Harry And The War Between The Windsors,” by Tom Bower, relates how Charles and Queen Elizabeth held a call after Prince Harry and Meghan's ...

“The encouragement from her Los Angeles advisers was intoxicating. “Meghan consulted her Los Angeles team about the best terms for their departure from Britain,” Bower writes. By July 2018, Charles had grown increasingly irritated with Meghan. “He had never really understood her or what she wanted,” writes Bower. The cover, which featured 15 women who “reshape society,” did not include the Queen, and fell like a bombshell on the royal household, Bower writes. “She refused to accept that staff were not employed to promote her as an individual, but instead placed her within the grid of the entire royal family. In particular, Meghan fumed about the refusal officially to criticize Thomas Markle. From her perspective, Meghan was isolated, vulnerable and stifled by conventions.”

QUEEN ELIZABETH II has a well-documented passion for horses and has often been guest-of-honour at some of the biggest meetings around.

“The Queen makes several interesting gestures and often leans forward when watching her horses, which is a sign of great interest. It has been said that the Queen reads the Racing Post over breakfast each morning, and when her mother was alive, this time would also be used to talk over the phone about the sport. Having started riding ponies at the age of three, Queen Elizabeth II’s love affair with all things equestrian goes back almost a century. “The Queen also leans back and puts out her chest, which is a gesture of pride and achievement.” In this year, she claimed just £79,542 in prize money. Express.co.uk delves into how much money the monarch has made from her favourite hobby.

“This is a funeral and we are not going to be drawn into perceptions of drama. “He actually speaks to Meghan a few times a day because he worries [about] leaving her when she’s so far along in her pregnancy.” William and Harry were part of the funeral procession but they were noticeably separated by a cousin. “He’s already really missing Meghan and Archie and has been FaceTiming them every day to check in,” a source told Us at the time. “Meghan will be staying in California. She can’t go on doctor’s orders,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the ceremony. “She is too far along to fly and it’s recommended she rest in the final months.”

“There are lot of details in these songs to get right — and the songs are challenging enough on their own. “We’re able to do a lot because of the four-part harmonies,” he said. It was a really weird feeling to be on the other side of that — to be the one on the stage getting everyone else to clap along. “Queen only had three singers,” Myers said. “This was the fall of 1991,” Myers said. “It was such a shock,” Myers said.

Controversial new claims have emerged over what the monarch allegedly said in a clear voice to her trusted aides.

That visit was clearly an important one for the couple. Many royals have also been partial to a cold weather retreat. And that includes the royals. While at Balmoral, the monarch has been pictured enjoying country walks, riding horses and hosting picnics with her family. Prince Philip took his children Princess Anne and Prince Charles on a skiing trip to Liechtenstein in 1965, and Diana, Princess of Wales regularly treated her boys William and Harry to some adventures on the slopes. The Queen is alleged to have said “thank goodness Meghan is not coming” to the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral, according to unnamed sources cited in a new book.

One of the many brilliant things about Queen was that they could do everything. Epic hard rock anthems, slick pop gems, grandstanding ballads, ...

Every power metal band owes a debt to Queen and their aura of grandiosity. But 1978’s blockbusting It’s Late – an electrifying tale of a one-stand night that oozes sexual tension from every pore - is the greatest Queen songs no one ever talks about, and this magnificent version almost matches the original pound for pound, despite Bush’s rough-around-the-edges vocals. We’ve got producer John Custer to thank – he’d apparently been urging the band to do it for years before they finally caved in. Queen were never heavier than on their self-titled 1973 debut– and in particular this crushing slab of proto-doom, driven by a riff that would have done Tony Iommi proud. Perfect fodder for Nine Inch Nails major domo Trent Reznor, who turned it into a glitchy electro-goth anthem custom-made for soundtracking couples’ night at the local S&M dungeon. One of the many brilliant things about Queen was that they could do everything.

Filmed during the band's 10-day run at the O2 Arena in early June, Rhapsody Over London will play next weekend on Kiswe.
