After putting the suit jacket on, Timothy reached back into the vehicle to retrieve a sizeable blue bag before shutting the car door.

Timothy’s visit to see Princess Anne as she recovers has confused many because typically, royal family members do not do that unless the situation calls for an exception. In 2019, royal commentator Victoria Arbiter posted a lengthy message on X explaining the protocol for royal hospital visits.

Prompted by the vicious comments made by some back then about the late Queen Elizabeth II not visiting her late husband Prince Philip when he was hospitalized, Victoria wanted to add perspective. “Were the Queen to visit him the security requirements alone would be incredibly disruptive,” she started.

What Special Royal Titles Did Prince Harry & Meghan Receive for Their Depicted Portraits?

Dan Llywelyn Hall, who holds the distinction of being the youngest artist to have painted the late monarch, Queen Elizabeth II has introduced a series of pieces featuring Harry and Meghan depicted as historical royals.

In one of the portrayals, Meghan is represented as Dame Elizabeth Grey, who became Queen of England after marrying Edward IV in 1464. In the second portrayal, Prince Harry is depicted as Charles Edward Stuart, also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Explaining his thought process, Dan mentioned that he saw a fine irony in casting Meghan as the White Queen, given her role as possibly the most influential outsider in royal history, and he believed this was not entirely unrealistic.

The painting of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has since sparked considerable interest among royal fans since it was shared online. Opinions on the portrayals have been mixed, with comments ranging from positive to negative, showcasing the diverse reactions to this intriguing artistic interpretation.

One fan voiced disapproval of the painting, writing“Whatever the artist’s intention with this, at least it is a horrid depiction of her.” Another echoed this sentiment, questioning“That is supposed to be Markle? Looks nothing like any of her faces!”

On the other hand, someone else argued that Meghan did not deserve to be portrayed as Elizabeth. They wrote“It’s an insult to Elizabeth Woodville. Edward chose her for her personal qualities & this caused the scandal.”

The person then explained“Marriages were made in those days to align for political & power reasons. She proved her worth & when he died she became Queen Dowager. Markle is nothing like Elizabeth.”

Comments continued to pour in, with one fan speculating about Meghan’s reaction to the painting, writing, “Oh, I don’t think she’ll be happy with the portrait.” Others expressed dissatisfaction with remarks like, “Don’t look nothing like her,” and “Not flattering at all.”

I really can’t say my initial reaction on this but use your imagination, it wasn’t polite!!! They look absolutely awful. A real insult.”
