Charles said in the statement, “We are deeply conscious of the honour represented by my mother’s wish. As we have sought together to serve and support Her Majesty and the people of our communities, my darling wife has been my own steadfast support throughout. The year of this unprecedented Platinum Jubilee brings an opportunity for us all to come together in celebrating the service of The Queen, by whose example we will continue to be led in the years to come.”

While Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, did not issue any statement on the Queen's announcement, they retweeted the Royal Family's post.

Meanwhile, Duke and Duchess of Sussex chose to remain silent following their departure from the royal duties in 2020 before beginning their new life in the US, which has irked many royal fans.

This is simply unforgivable of Harry. I dont expect anything classy or reasonable from his wife, but Harry knows better.

A frustrated user tweeted, “This is simply unforgivable of Harry. I dont expect anything classy or reasonable from his wife, but Harry knows better.”

The second one wrote, “They're in the corner pouting because the spotlight is shining on HRH instead of them. God bless Queen Elizabeth.” And when a fan of Harry and Meghan tried defending them by saying, “Not everything has to be public, maybe Harry contacted his grandmother privately to congratulate her. Not sure why everyone is out to make Harry a bad grandson, he loves his grandmother or he would not have named his daughter after her.”

Not everything has to be public, maybe Harry contacted his grandmother privately to congratulate her. Not sure why everyone is out to make Harry a bad grandson, he loves his grandmother or he would not have named his daughter after her.

Its not a easy situation because Camilla isn't there mum and no doubt want to have Diana and her family's back. Complicated and mixed feelings.

I don't understand this. You judge them if they stay silent. And if they were to make a public statement you would unfairly judge them by saying they are no longer royals and should stay silent. Smh. Why not report on those that made statements and leave it as that?

A hater fired back, “Lol They named the baby after her for money and notoriety purpose, and if he loved his Grandmother so much why would he give that O interview when her beloved Prince Phillip was on his deathbed, Wake Up.”
