At the age of 96, it seems that Queen Elizabeth, despite going through a series of health issues, is alert and making moves with the help of the senior royals.
This week, the sovereign appeared to have a reaction to something her grandson, Prince Harry, said.
The Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan Markle, made a brief stop in England earlier this month, where they had a meeting with Queen Elizabeth.
The Palace has not revealed what was said during the private meeting. However, Prince Harry later did an interview where he shared tidbits of what he said to his grandmother.
The former soldier also dropped the bombshell that he wants to protect Queen Elizabeth despite living thousands of miles away from her.
Since 2020, Prince Harry and Markle have resided in California with their two children.
Prince Harry further stirred the pot and angered members of the royal family by questioning the people around Her Majesty.
The motivational speaker and soon-to-be author said he hopes the right people are with the aging Queen.
Prince Harry said during the sit-down on TODAY: “Being with her, it was great. It was just so nice to see her, you know, she’s on great form, she’s always got a great sense of humor with me, and I’m making sure she’s protected and got the right people around her.”
Days after the interview aired, Queen Elizabeth’s royal aides made a move that captivated the media.
It has been confirmed by the Daily Mail royal commentator Richard Eden that the Queen’s staff is now actively searching for a new security chief.
In response to the claim that Queen Elizabeth needs to be protected, the Royal Household has decided to hire a new security chief who will get paid about $62,000 annually.
The royal author revealed: “Prince Harry claimed that he’s ensuring his grandmother is ‘protected,’ but the Queen has shown she’s perfectly capable of looking after her security herself. I can disclose that the Royal Household is quietly seeking a new ‘physical and technical security adviser. It advertised for the £50,000-per-year position on the royal website, stressing that the successful candidate must have ‘a good, current knowledge of national and international security’.”
The security chief will be working with the Home Office, the MET Police, and Homeland Security.
The ad states: “Security liaison provides protective security advice and support. Joining this dedicated team, your role will focus on physical and technical security, ensuring the successful coordination and delivery of security measures for all Royal Household sites. As a subject matter expert, you’ll be a key liaison point for the team.”
While some have called it a dig, the Queen’s latest move might be an acknowledgment of what her grandson said.
Prince Harry and Markle are embroiled in their own security row with the British government.
The pair has filed a lawsuit against Queen Elizabeth’s Government for denying him and his family the proper protection that they need when they travel to London.
