- Prince Harry called the late Queen Elizabeth II a “puppet.”
- Katie Nicholl calls it offensive and distasteful.
- The author said she’s not here to defend herself.
Prince Harry just called the late Queen, who was his grandmother, a “puppet” for King Charles.
For those who don’t know, he said this in the Netflix documentary series Harry & Meghan.
There, he recalled the Queen’s silence over his Megxit talks and claimed, “It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me, and my father says things that just simply weren’t true, and my grandmother, you know, quietly sit there, and sort of take it all in.”
He also recalled a similar instance where he was invited back to the UK, from Canada by the Queen himself but later received a letter from her aides who branded her “busy all week.”
In light of all this, royal author Katie Nicholl hit back and told a website “I think this idea that Harry has painted The Queen almost as a puppet with no voice who is orchestrated and told what to do by others is quite offensive to the late Queen, who of course isn’t here to defend herself or answer back which makes it even more distasteful in my opinion.”
