Queen heartbreak Prince Philip's 'emotional' struggle exposed as Queen loses royal 'rock'

QUEEN ELIZABETH II lost her "rock" when Prince Philip retired in a "changing moment" for the Royal Family according to a royal commentator.During Channel 5's "The Royals: A Family in Crisis" documentary, royal experts Daisy McAndrew, Angela Levin and Katie Nicholl discussed the impact the Duke of Edinburgh's retirement and car accident had on the Queen and the Royal Family.In January 2019 Prince Philip was involved in a car crash and as a result, was not allowed to drive following the incident.


Ms McAndrew said regarding Prince Philip's accident: "It was very difficult for him emotionally and difficult for the Queen.".The Queen's decision to encourage Prince Philip to give up driving came less than 18 months after he retired from official duties.Ms Levin said: "I think it was a real changing moment when Prince Philip stepped back from doing royal duties."It is completely understandable to all of us because he was in his late nineties but for the Queen, he was her rock."He was very dutiful for her.".Ms Nicholl said: "It must have been quite a transition for the Queen to have to carry out royal engagements on her own."."We are all so used to seeing the Duke of Edinburgh not by her side but always one step behind her."Very much in that role of a consort, in that supportive role."He had done many years of great service for her and the country."She felt more than anyone else that he had earned his retirement.".Last month during the ROYALS podcast Zoe Burrell and Angela Mollard discussed if Queen Elizabeth II would retire.Ms Burrell asked: "Do you think there is any chance the Queen will retire?".Queen Elizabeth II news: How THIS royal will be unlikely ally to Queen after Megxit.QUEEN ELIZABETH has witnessed a turbulent few months for the Royal Family. But one royal in particular could come to the Queen's aid after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's exit from royal life.Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced earlier this year they planned to leave senior royal life behind, a move which reportedly saddened the Queen. In her official statement, the Queen expressed how she had wished for the Sussexes to remain full-time members of the Royal Family, but also that she respected their desire to build a new life.But after discussions with the Palace, it emerged that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will no longer be considered senior, ‘working’ members of the Royal Family.While the Queen emphasised Harry and Megan will remain “a valued part” of her family, the couple will not be carrying out official royal engagements in the future.


Meghan and Harry do not officially step back from royal life until March 31.But with a royal engagement schedule as busy as ever, the Queen will need other royals to step up and take on responsibility.Senior royals like Prince Charles and Princess Anne have been very busy completing royal engagements in recent weeks.Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, also recently travelled to Ireland for a very important visit, to build on the themes of “remembrance and reconciliation”.But another royal, who is usually on the sidelines, now appears to be taking a step into the royal limelight.Sophie, Countess of Wessex, is married to the Queen’s youngest son Prince Edward and is widely regarded to be one of the Queen’s favourite royals.But although a favourite of the monarch, Sophie does not normally attend as many royal engagements as other members of The Firm.However, judging by the countess’ busy schedule over the last few weeks, Sophie could be gearing up for a more frontline role in the future.Sophie made history this week as the first member of the Royal Family to visit South Sudan.At the request of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Sophie’s official tour to the country was used to highlight the rights of women and girls in the country.Given the significant nature of the visit, which fell during International Women’s Week, the Queen clearly trusts Sophie to take on more responsibility.Royal experts are often of the opinion Sophie is a close confidante to the Queen.


Royal expert and author Robert Jobson told the Telegraph: “She’s very much the Queen’s favourite, and you’ll notice that whenever there is a family holiday or gathering, Sophie and Edward often stay a while longer than the rest.A former royal equerry also told the Sun the Queen finds Sophie’s presence “soothing”.They said: “If Sophie Wessex is staying at Sandringham then you can pretty much guarantee the Queen will ask her – usually last thing on a Saturday night – if she would like ‘a lift’ to the church.“And the same happens at Balmoral. The Queen likes to be completely calm before church and she finds Sophie’s presence soothing.“Who gets the backseat is also one of those quirky royal ways that signals who is in favour.“For example, Princess Anne may be staying at the same time, but how often do you see her in the Rolls?”.

Chamisa's lawyer spoke out about Mnangagwa's fraud evidence during the election

OPPOSITION MDC leader Nelson Chamisa will launch a renewed bid to oust President Emmerson Mnangagwa by seeking to have the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) review its own judgment based on “new evidence.”.Chamisa’s lawyer Thabani Mpofu said after studying academic works on the elections published by self-exiled former minister Jonathan Moyo, they were now making efforts to have the judgment on the 2018 presidential elections set aside.The country’s top court ruled that Chamisa had failed to prove allegations of fraud during the presidential election, a vote which left the nation polarised and violence on the streets of the capital Harare.Mpofu said the basis of approaching the ConCourt was because they now believe that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) presented to the courts false information and, therefore, their call for the judgment to be set aside.“The general rule is that once a final judgment or order has been given, the judge who gave it or any other judge of parallel juri...

The former First Lady ganged up with the G40 faction of ZANU-PF....
