  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle regrammed Queen Elizabeth's new statement about the coronavirus pandemic.

  • This comes after reports that tensions between Harry and Prince William are running high.


It would be a major understatement to say that things in the royal family are a little...weird at the moment. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just finished up their final set of engagements before formally stepping back from their senior royal duties, and they are beginning the transitioning process. But like, on top of that, the current coronavirus pandemic is changing everything. As a result, the queen has now addressed the pandemic on Instagram, with Meghan and Harry showing their support by regramming it.

Queen Elizabeth wrote:

"As Philip and I arrive at Windsor today, we know that many individuals and families across the United Kingdom, and around the world, are entering a period of great concern and uncertainty.

We are all being advised to change our normal routines and regular patterns of life for the greater food of the communities we live in and, in particular, to protect the most vulnerable within them.

At times such as these, I am reminded that our nation's history has been forged by people and communities coming together coming together to work as one, concentrating our combined efforts with a focus on the common goal.

We are enormously thankful for the expertise and commitment of our scientists, medical practitioners and emergency and public services; but now more than any time in our recent past, we all have a vitally important part to play as individuals—today and in the coming days, weeks and months.

Many of us will need to find new ways of staying in touch with each other and making sure that loved ones are safe. I am certain that we are up to that challenge. You can be assured that my family and I stand ready to play our part."

Harry and Meghan supporting the Queen on IG comes after Us Weekly reported that Harry and his brother, Prince William, still aren't on good terms. According to Us' source, they're “both filled with anger and resentment” towards each other because William can't get behind Harry's decision to step back (no pun intended).

Hopefully, when push comes to shove, Harry and William can play their part in helping out like the queen wants.
