Insight into Queen Elizabeth's Unusual Quirk Before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Wedding
In a recent interview with The Herald Sun via The Telegraph, Samantha Cohen, former aide to Queen Elizabeth, offered a glimpse into the late monarch's life before the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Despite her esteemed position as the longest-reigning monarch in British history, Queen Elizabeth possessed a surprising quirk that added a dash of excitement to her otherwise composed demeanor.
Cohen shared that the Queen had a remarkable lack of ego and was remarkably comfortable in her own skin. However, she harbored a unique fondness for situations when things didn't go as planned. Whether it was a stubborn cake or a plaque that refused to unveil, the Queen found delight in the unexpected twists amidst the impeccably organized royal affairs.
Reflecting on her 18-year career at the royal household, Cohen expressed her admiration for the Queen's ability to find joy in such moments of unpredictability. She fondly recalled her time as the Queen's assistant private secretary, describing it as "happy times" because the Queen was in great spirits.
Cohen began her journey with the royal household in 2001 as an assistant communications secretary to Queen Elizabeth. Over the years, she ascended through the ranks to become the Queen's assistant private secretary, witnessing firsthand the monarch's unique perspective on life's imperfections.
Following her tenure with Queen Elizabeth, Cohen went on to serve as the private secretary to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018 before departing from the palace office the following year. Her insights shed light on the multifaceted personality of Queen Elizabeth, whose ability to embrace the unexpected added depth to her reign.
