I agree with you. I think she was fine with cutting ties and markling the BRF about two months ago. But, maybe she didn't expect the backlash. The timing of the interview was, once again, really poor with Prince Philip dying just a short time after and that they added to his pain and the Queen's pain is undeniable. She didn't get a public apology and didn't get any concessions from the family. So, all that's happened since then (the press releases that MM wanted to be at the funeral, that she was watching the funeral at home, that she called the Queen, that the wreath was chosen with so much heartfelt meaning, that she wrote a personal note, and on and on), that all gives me the impression that it's MM and Harry who are the ones eager to re-establish ties with the family and/or continue to be seen as being on the inside. It's the family that is saying we're grieving for Prince Philip, go back to California, maybe we'll chat later. With witnesses.
