From Meghan Markle suing a British Publications to Prince Andrew venturing away once more from his royal family obligations, we have covered it all from 2019.
This year can be described as a second annus horribilis for the royal family.
The first was famously in 1992 when Windsor Castle truly burst into flames. Adding to the misfortunes, three out of the Queen’s four kids separated from their spouses. And keeping in mind that the Queen may not utilize this Latin word again but there have been a lot of scandals in the past 12 months. There was Prince Philip’s controversial car accident; Prince Harry’s searing statement about the press; a Prince Andrew’s declaration that he’ll step over from his royal obligations.
Be that as it may, there was a lot to celebrate too. This includes the birth and christening of baby Archie and a royal wedding and so on… Before 2019 comes to an end, take a look back at the 7 biggest royal moments of the year.
On January 17, Prince Philip’s vehicle slammed into another car near Sandringham. Luckily, the 97-year-old royal was safe, and the driver and passenger of the other vehicle sustained minor wounds. Prince Philip, in any case, did deliberately give up his license and is currently just permitted to drive on private streets.
