“Your Eternal Legacy”
Harry honors the queen – and the father too?

Relations with his grandmother were never very tense. Therefore, it should now be easy for Harry to express his appreciation for the Queen. But look at this: he also strikes conciliatory notes towards his father, King Charles III.
The Queen’s grandson, Prince Harry, has honored his late grandmother Elizabeth II as a “compass” and role model for service and duty. “She was admired and respected all over the world. Her unshakable grace and dignity remained throughout her life and is now her eternal legacy,” the 37-year-old wrote in a statement published on his Archewell Foundation’s website.
At the same time, Harry assured his father, the new King Charles III, of his support. The relationship between him and his father, but also between him and his brother Prince William, is experienced as heavily burdened. Harry’s announcement to recognize Charles in his new role may be a sign of peace.
“Thank you for your smile”
The last goodbye makes him sad, Harry writes directly to his “Grandma”. At the same time, he is grateful for their encounters – “from my earliest childhood memories with you to the first meeting with you as my commander in chief to the first moment when you met my wonderful wife and hugged your beloved great-grandchildren”. Harry emphasizes, “I cherish these times I’ve shared with you and all the other special moments in between.”
The Duke of Sussex, as is his official title, ends his message with: “Thank you for your dedication to the service. Thank you for your sound advice. Thank you for your infectious smile. We smile too, knowing you and Grandpa are now in peace reunited.” The Queen’s husband Prince Philip died in April 2021 at the age of 99.
Harry lives in California with his wife Duchess Meghan and their children Archie and Lilibet, who is named after the Queen. The couple happened to be in the UK when the Queen died in Scotland on Thursday. Meghan and Harry have given up their royal duties and have repeatedly criticized the palace. However, the Queen has always expressly excluded her from her allegations.
