The Queen is worn the f**k out, OK?
Queen Elizabeth II is “physically and emotionally” exhausted amid a particularly turbulent and seemingly endless period for the royal family, and it all centers around Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s very public decision to step back from their responsibilities.

A source close to Buckingham Palace spoke to Us Weekly about the 93-year-old monarch’s mental and physical state after some turbulent public times, and it sounds like she’s just over everything. Girl, we get it — and we’re a lot younger than that, too, so we can only imagine what you’re going through!!!
The insider revealed (below):
“She’s exhausted, both physically and emotionally. She’s approaching her 94th birthday in April and should be at a stage in her life where she can ease up and be supported by her loved ones, but the drama’s never-ending. She’s so frustrated.”
No kidding!
Not surprisingly, much of that frustration centers on the ongoing #Megxit controversy, with 35-year-old Harry and his 38-year-old American wife opting to spend more time in Canada (and possibly the US), and step away from the royal family and its very-public spotlight. According to the source, that move has left the monarch “so disappointed,” and caused quite a bit of extra stress and worry in her life.
The confidant added more, though, noting the Queen was nevertheless hopeful things would soon get better:
“She’s praying that, over time, Harry will start to see things more clearly. Whether that will actually happen remains to be seen.”
Hmmm. We understand the importance of being optimistic and all, but we’re not going to count on that happening any time soon…
The controversial young couple’s recent Buckingham battle over the use of the word “royal” may have been the final straw here, but it’s clear Queen Elizabeth’s concerns go back quite a way. What a year it’s been for the matriarch!

To be fair to Harry and Meghan, though, it’s not just Megxit that has the Queen fed up. Prince Andrew‘s public actions over the last year haven’t exactly been, um, stellar on their own, either. That Elizabeth herself allegedly forced him out of his royal duties may have helped stem the media tide some, but certainly, his actions have brought the royals a ton of unwanted controversy, too. Whew. Yeah, it’s been a s**tty year at Buckingham Palace!
TL;DR the Queen is dealing with a ton of royal drama and it seems she’s finally at her wit’s end. Seems simple enough! LOLz!!!
What do U think, Perezcious readers?! Are you sympathetic to the Queen over all this stress in her life?? How do you feel about Buckingham Palace’s handle on this year’s two major controversies: Megxit and Prince Andrew?!
