Queen Elizabeth and the interview with Meghan and Harry: sad for them- Corriere.it

At the end Queen Elizabeth I had to break a silence that had lasted too many hours: since Buckingham palace the official statement of reaction to theexplosive interview of Harry and Meghan.

They are measured words, which however do not revolve around the most explosive revelations contained in the statements of the Duchess of Sussex: “The questions posed – we read – particularly those of the race, are worryingAnd yet the sovereign does not take everything at face value, because, she says, “Some memories may vary”Despite this, concerns “are taken very seriously and will be dealt with privately by the family.”

The queen also hugged us to show understanding towards the whole human experience that emerged from the conversation between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Oprah Winfrey: “The whole family is saddened – read the press release – to learn how demanding the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.”

Towards what bridges are not cut, because they, along with their son Archie, “They will always be very dear members of the family.”.

Few and extremely controlled words, which are probably the result of a compromise.

The first option, the most traditional, which is to keep quiet and go further, seemed increasingly unsustainable for hours: the accusations too serious, the hint of racism too destabilizing to allow it to pass; but on the other hand a harsher reaction was avoided, which according to some would have been encouraged at first by Carlos and Guillermo, the most offended by the words of the Dukes of Sussex. He prevailed the moderation of Isabel, who had already had to block out a hot answer last night, in order to think better of it.

Of course, those who have been moved by Meghan’s words will find the queen’s phrases insufficient: but certainly a mea culpa from her could not be expected, since on the other hand a controversial intention discovered would have been misplaced. The sovereign’s hope is probably that time will help heal the wound: but certainly the damage that has been done will be difficult to repair completely.
