"She had to guide the family through so many crises during her long reign, and her last years were blighted by Harry and Meghan’s decision to step back as senior Royals - and then leave the fold entirely - and also by the scandal surrounding Prince Andrew", Jennie said.
"So the ship was rocking quite badly at the time of her death but she would be gratified that the key working royals, and especially William and Kate, have managed to steady it so successfully. "The Queen knew better than anyone about the pressures of a very high profile royal job whilst trying to bring up a young family.
