2021 has been a challenging year for everyone, navigating the ongoing pandemic and anticipating life post-pandemic.
For those directly impacted by COVID-19, the road to recovery is long and arduous, with losses and hardships affecting many.
This includes even those who seemingly live untouched by sorrow and troubles, like Queen Elizabeth. Her recent challenges have been widely documented.
From the scandals involving her son Prince Andrew’s connections to Jeffrey Epstein to the rift with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle leaving the Royal Family, followed by the passing of her husband, Prince Philip.
Through it all, Queen Elizabeth maintained her composure, as has always been her trademark. However, recent events have brought more sorrow into her life.
The beginning of the year saw Queen Elizabeth embroiled in controversy, particularly with Prince Harry and Meghan’s revelations during their interview with Oprah.
As the family’s matriarch, the weight of the situations fell heavily on her shoulders.
The ongoing saga with Harry and Meghan began with their decision to step back from royal duties, citing struggles within the royal family, not unlike what Kate Middleton faced when she married Prince William.
Subsequently, the Oprah interview brought more revelations, confirming Meghan’s challenges within the royal family, including allegations of racism and mistreatment, with Meghan even expressing thoughts of suicide.
Meghan bravely shared, “I knew that if I didn’t say it, I would do it,” highlighting the gravity of her mental health struggles.
Regarding the discussions around their son Archie, Meghan chose not to disclose the identities involved, stating, “That would be very damaging to them.”
Most of the criticism following the interview was directed at the Royal Family, causing significant turmoil within the palace walls.
Despite the storm settling, Queen Elizabeth faced more sorrow with the loss of Prince Philip, her companion and confidant.
Upon Prince Philip’s passing, the Royal Family shared the heartbreaking news on April 9.
The Queen affectionately referred to Prince Philip as her “rock,” acknowledging his health struggles in recent years, culminating in his peaceful passing at Windsor Castle.
The funeral, attended by a limited guest list due to COVID-19 restrictions, was a somber affair witnessed by millions in the UK, with Queen Elizabeth sitting in solitude.

As Queen Elizabeth resumed her royal duties following Prince Philip’s passing, it was reported that she faced yet another tragedy, further shattering her world.
Daily Mail shared the news of the passing of Fergus, a five-month-old Dachshund and Welsh Corgi mix gifted to her by Prince Andrew.
Fergus, named after her late uncle, brought some solace during her mourning period, along with another puppy, Muick, both gifts from Prince Andrew in the wake of Prince Philip’s passing.
A source from The Sun expressed how deeply devastated the Queen is by this loss.
