Queen Elizabeth II said 1992 was her 'annus horribilis', or horrible year. But could this year have rivalled it?

Think of every vintage scandal you know involving the House of Windsor: Charles and Camilla's lusty phone calls; Diana's anguish; Sarah Ferguson's "toe sucking scandal". Annus horribilis, part II It took years for the Queen to claw back the British public's favour, but her quiet and neutral custodianship of the monarchy eventually won over even her staunchest critics. Prince Harry may have ended Prince Charles's golden era Photo shows Prince Charles grinning while standing between his sons William and Harry With just five words, Prince Harry revealed to the world that it was his relationship with his father that had suffered the most in the fallout of the couple's decision to step away from the royal family. Even so, the real fallout from the Prince Andrew case may not be felt until next year, when the looming deadline over his appearance coincides with a four-day British public holiday to celebrate the Queen's platinum jubilee. "There was more scrutiny of the Queen's management of her family, whereas now — with the Queen's current circumstances with her health, recently losing Prince Philip, the COVID-19 pandemic — there's a lot more sympathy for the Queen," she told the ABC.
