Britain’s royal family is currently dealing a lot with Prince Harry, having caused a massive stir with the high-profile legal cases. The House of Windsors has been torn apart due to the onslaught of countless controversies over the decades. However, there was one glue in the royal household that kept the family from falling apart for as long as it could. It is disheartening that the eternal affection and sweet bond between the former Monarch, Queen Elizabeth, and Prince Harry could not avoid the infamous Megxit. Nonetheless, the Queen still made all her efforts to see that the families do not turn their backs on each other, completely.

However, no sooner did the Queen take her resignation from the world than all hell broke loose within the House of Windsor. Thus, the Queen’s contribution to the crumbling royal family had become a topic of debate among BBC royal experts. The publication had prominent media personalities and journalists taking the helm for the debate night. Putting forward her opinions on the table was journalist Ayesha Hazarika, accompanied by a few others.

The death of Queen Elizabeth deteriorated the dynamics of the Royal Family  

The journalist broke down the current situation of the royal family, having compared it with its own condition during the Queen’s reign. Hazarika thinks that the royal family is moving into a very different era with the passing of the Queen. The former monarch, a “unique figure” in the royal family, was “a golden thread that went across all the decades of change”. The Queen handled all the challenges of her personal life as perfectly as she could, claims Hazarika. 

However, sadly, with her sad demise, it has all changed. “The spell has slightly been broken with the royal family,” claims the journalist. In the course of the discussion, she also shed light on the ongoing controversies of the royals. Moreover, with changing dynamics of the world outside the royal premises, the journalist fears that the “family will grow in difference“. And that would unfortunately be the most damning thing at the moment for the Kingdom to bear with.
