Can't help thinking King Charles is selfish

[Eieiom]

Standing back, looking at the Harry situation, I can't help thinking that Charles is the root of all the family toxicity.

He had an affair while married to Diana, which led to their divorce and much unhappiness on her side. After her early death, his children were obviously in a lot of pain. The remote parenting style of the RF probably did little to soften this.
He's managed to marry his affair partner and now he's cutting off one of his sons.
Harry just looks like a really hurt person acting out to me. In most families, they would just be tolerated and forgiven.
I think the RF look very cold.

I think thr majority would say the optics are absolutely correct based on Harry’s behaviour, Charles should not meet him , especially with Nigeria coming up . Andrew is a different story as he has a lifetime lease.

Charles has always been petulant, wanting his own way, and sulking. His two sons are a chip off of the block.

They should consider their charmed lives, and all grow up and stop squabbling.🙄

They can’t step down as they don’t have the power to decide on their own that the UK is no longer to be a constitutional monarchy for its parliamentary modal.

If the ‘entire’ House of Windsor collectively agreed to abdicate, constitutionally we’d just have to go down the hereditary lines until we found the next family willing to provide a monarch.

As it is people can only abdicate for themselves not their decendents so Charles says he’s off, William says no thanks, then we have to wait for poor George to get to 18 so that he can abdicate. Guess who is regent during that time Uncle Harry and Great Uncle Andy!

And I would bet you a billion, trillion pounds that if got down to either of those two they would leap at the chance to be the monarch. Harry would be back in a flash.

There is a super simple way to stop having a monarch. We the people simply have to want it as a majority and get our representatives to vote on it in Parliament.

There just isn’t the political will for it - as a significant majority don’t want it to happen.

Andrew is a different story as he has a lifetime lease but surely KC would have pressed him to relinquish that lease if he'd been found guilty of a sexual assault in a civil trial? Carry on living in it, I think not!

I wouldn't be embarrassed if someone took a photo with Harry and my Royal Self in it, Harry is my son even if he is a plonker. I would be acutely embarrassed if I, the King, was in the same photoframe as Andrew as at the very least he is friends with a paedophile and possibly worse. This is how he should be thinking!

Harry is renowned for being thicknas mince .He is in the thrall of meghan who has engineered all this

So he treated his teenage wife like shit instead.

How do you know all that? Even Harry doesn't say that!! I'm not convinced either that Diana was the epitome of motherhood. The boys were in boarding school, she was off on jaunts with lovers and they'd have had shared custody anyway.

I think William and Kate's popularity on Instagram shows how popular they still are.

I don't think he had any intention to treat her like shit. I think they were just not suited to each other. Charles said they both tried - they must have done as they had two sons. Diana was headstrong and unstable and Charles couldn't cope with it. At least he was consistent - he had one lover, the love of his life whom he wasn't allowed to marry. How many men, including married ones, did Diana shag? Do you not think that was hurtful to Charles too?

Two sides to every story.

I suspect that letting Andrew stay in Royal Lodge is a way of keeping him contained and monitored. It’s probably one of the main leverages Charles has to keep his brother in line. Also now he’d look like an uncaring monster to make Fergie move during her cancer journey while he’s also going through that.

Absolutely. He can. Just as he deserves.

He was already shagging Parker Bowles and had zero itention of stopping when he made his marriage vows to Diana. I think that's a pretty good definition of shit.

The only one I think less of is Harry, Oh and his scheming wife.

Evidence?

Completely agree, it infantilises us as a county, all this endless speculation, "royal experts", silly chatter on morning TV, spite filled commentators on some of the more niche TV stations. They could lead very pleasant lives as private citizens and I am sure this would much healthier for them as people.

Why do you feel the need to compare him with Andrew? More whataboutery.

I would disagree that Harry was ill treated by the public.
He was always the favourite, the majority of the public adored him, he could do no wrong.

Exactly this. Harry could have come over at any time, but he didn't. He tags a quick visit onto an engagement of his own, other than the publicity-seeking dash over when Charles's cancer was diagnosed.

Harry was one of the most popular royals!! I wish people would stick to facts at least in their weak arguments!

Someone of that age, with those health issues, and all the other stuff that needs doing that only a king can do (whatever they may be), might not have felt up to the challenge of meeting the prodigal son.

How do we know they hadn't spoken on the phone anyway?

How do we know whether or not KC said to H that he was available during x and y times, and H was only available at time z?

Did H check before he came to see if Dad was available? We have relatives from the States who book tickets and fly over here, and expect us to drop everything to fit in with their plans. We can't always do that, and they get quite miffed. They never check dates with us beforehand.

We all know that recollections can vary, and at times it appears that H's recollections have been very variable.

Anyway, it is a load of tosh written to fill up the tabloids and stir up their readers into an indignant froth, so the whole shebang is ridiculous if you ask me. Why people care I shall never know.

I think Harry has blown it by writing his books, Oprah interview, Netflix etc etc etc
Whatever happened to leaving the country due to lack of privacy?!
Personally I feel Meghan mistook the Royal Family for Celebrities and didn't like it when she wasn't in the spotlight
Very sad that Harry lost his DM at such a young age, but he seems angry and hell bent on revenge and bitterness
I have a lot of respect for King Charles and I think Camilla is the love of his life
Harry can't accept this, and even though his DF has cancer, I feel he is uncompromising and Still wants an apology!
If he was mine, I wouldn't trust him to keep conversations to himself plus Chemotherapy is debilitating and at 75, Charles possibly just CBA with the drama
Harry is his own worst enemy.

Well he was popular... until he turned out to be a twat.

@DrJonesIpresume Harry asked to meet Charles, Charles said he was too busy. Harry said publicly he understands Charles is a busy man. Like me he understands why a father would be too busy to meet his son for a quick coffee. He is King after all!!

They are all selfish idiots. But that doesn’t excuse Harry’s actions as a grown man, selling his family out for money and not expecting to deal with the consequences of that. Maybe he did and he doesn’t care? It’s all fun and games until nobody trusts him and cuts him off.

He never had a teenage wife. They were married after her 20th birthday.
