Queen Elizabeth’s death did not bring the royal family closer to each other. Instead, it brought everyone further apart.

According to New Idea, chaos immediately ensued after the queen’s passing because some members of the royal family have been frozen out while others started plotting things for their personal gain.

For instance, it was recently announced that Princess Beatrice has been given an important role. She will join the likes of Prince William in helping King Charles III take on some of the duties and responsibilities that he could not do.

However, the tabloid claimed that Princess Beatrice was already fired from her role even before she received her first task.

A source said that Princess Beatrice was devastated after she learned that she was fired from the job because she was looking forward to doing something nice for the royal family.

And just like her, Prince Andrew was also frozen out by the British clan. And any attempts to return to his royal duties will not be welcomed.

“Andrew clearly wanted to use this mourning period to get back into the spotlight, but Charles isn’t having any of it. You could tell Charles was barely tolerating him during the mourning period as it was. When it comes to Andrew, Charles wants him gone from family affairs for good,” the source said.

Meghan Markle is also allegedly disappointed with the reception that she received from the royal family at the queen’s funeral. She was expecting the people sitting close to her to chat with her but they didn’t. And it was during this moment that she realized that she was still not welcomed.

What’s worse is that the cameras were positioned behind a candle to ensure that Markle wouldn’t be seen on television when it pans close to her.

“The candle block was something she learned about after it was all over and she was shocked. It was like there’d been a concerted effort to erase her from the event,” the source said.

However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt. It’s not true that chaos ensued at the palace following the queen’s death. In fact, the royal family has been nothing but united in front of the cameras.

But it’s unclear what’s been happening between them behind closed doors.
