AIBU to think King Charles comes across as a really crap dad?

I mean really, this is just pathetic. No one is believing that KC couldn’t find a spare bed for his son. AIBU to think that as the parent KC needs to get a grip and grow up instead of just fuelling the drama?

Two excellent points - esp re Andrew and Epstein coming and going.

So the head of church won’t meet his own son because his son missed a deadline? They need days and days to ‘arrange things’ and as pointed out above Epstein was trafficking women in . Epstein gave enough notice did he?

One of the other desperate excuses offered by the palace was worry that Harry would make a speech using Buckingham palace as a back drop .
Like Andrew actually did you mean? Lied to country through his teeth sitting slap bang in the middle of Buckingham palace .

Afraid Harry would try to ‘use the Buckingham palace backdrop? Like Elizabeth did when she used the entire weight of the institution to publicly call Virginia Guiffre a liar?

Charles and rest of them have really fumbled this , no matter what your opinion is of Harry , they’ve really showed themselves to be mean hypocritical cowards .
For this shit we pay half a billion a year and set them above the law?

What they do in public is a front, I don't for a second believe the Queen made Christmas pudding while clinging to her handbag.

But I do believe she was a completely different much more relaxed person than you are giving her credit for. Cherie Blair made comment about the Queen washing the dishes at Balmoral.
There was someone on Britanna made comment about Philip and her being reunited on the deck with a young Charles and Ann with hand shakes but once inside away from the cameras it was big hugs and kids bouncing all over them.

One more time for the cheap seats at the back!

This is Harry once again trying to prove that he is the most important member of the RF. He famously said that what Megan wants Megan gets (to QEII of all people) and he seems to feel the same about his own wants.

He didn't reply by the time he was asked to
When he did reply on Saturday - late - it was to say he wouldn't be staying at BP.
Then today he says he will be.

I can't help wondering if this isn't all a set up by Harry for the precise purpose of making people think badly of Charles.

KC doesn't trust him enough to have him in Clarence house

I don't think the average trafficked women had substantial security needs and a staff of her own that needed accommodating in Buckingham Palace. It seems unlikely that most or even any of the prostitutes Andrew entertained had published globally best selling books talking about how many Taliban they'd killed.

Not being a fan of the institution myself, I sympathise with the wider criticisms of various members of the royal family. It's just not immediately obvious how they address any of the logistical issues mentioned. There isn't a mechanism by which the queen having been a nonce apologist means staff are magically available as soon as her grandson wants them, several years after her death.

It wouldn't surprise me, Harry is deceitful enough. He's lied about his family to make headlines and to make money, so I really don't think there's any limits to his greed and mendacity.

We don’t know if other guests have had to give such notice but also previously the queen did live there at least some of the time so it was always fully staffed.

Now nobody lives there apart from maybe a couple of staff members.

Security would of been there because the queen lived there.

In what way?? Harry has perpetuated the drama since he got with the perpetual american drama 'queen' who dared call our dear departed Queenie racist. Cunts want their bread buttered both sides.

I think Epstein and Andrew are obviously reprehensible individuals but I'm not sure why they are being brought into this (far less why Charles being head of state has to do with anything). As far as im aware, there's no evidence Epstein actually stayed the night there. From what I've read he only accepted a tour of the palace and had dinner there. Which is a far different scenario than the son of the King with his own staff and security team staying the night there.

None of us know what Charles feels about his son. But these relationships don't operate the ways ours do. It isn't the case of offering him a room or us popping into our parents the same way we would all do. It's a case of logistics and security and its been clearly explained that had Harry accepted in time, then staff and rotas could have been accommodated. They cant simply keep staff on standby 24/7 for when Harry decides he wants to visit.

I'm no royalist but I can't see how Charles or the royal family have come across bad.

So the head of church won’t meet his own son because his son missed a deadline

Has KC released a statement to say he won’t meet Harry?

It's simple. All Harry had to do was confirm he was arriving by Friday. He couldn't manage that because he's addicted to drama.

No. Of course not.

Would you like to talk me through this “offering so publically”?

I knew that, I was being facetious.

People really need to stop looking at this through their own family eyes.

This is the king. He has people who organise his life and his properties. One does not simply pop in. It’s not an extra bed being made up in dad’s house. It’s not a punishment.

The estate manager and security needed time to get staff, make up a suitable apartment and get security. The men in grey suits as they get called.

Charlie boy probably had zero to do with it at all. Other than being informed that an offer of residence had been made and that they would arrange it all if accepted.

I think you'll find that the only source of this drama has been Harry. Neither KC nor anyone else has publicly commented or expressed an opinion.

Where’s your evidence for this? You are talking rubbish.

Well he could pay himself and hasn’t so…

for all we know none of this happened at all and all was manufacturing by the media and the palace staff briefing against Harry with neither Harry nor royal family having any idea. Or by Will’s staff who always briefed against Harry.

maybe there are worse things coming to light about Andrew, or Wills have been caught cheating or whatever. I’m very suspicious whenever there is a massive outrage about Harry - and not suspicious about Harry but rather about the rest of the family or media or palace staff. Palace staff are the real snakes there

(also of course its complete BS the palace officials didn’t know about what Andrew was up to. Pleeeeease. Mummy may have been blind a bit but her office? No way)

Well but Epstein could simply pop in then?

Come on now

What?

It's Harry who has been frantically briefing the press for the past few weeks! Even leaking his 'itinerary' which is a rather odd thing for a person supposedly obsessed with security to do.

What on earth would Charles or William have to gain from this drama? Nothing other than a massive headache.

I assume Andrew took him as a guest rather than just rocking up and knocking on the door 🤷🏻‍♀️😅

Or it could be Martians come to Earth to disrupt our Earthling ways using the Lizard People to help and the King will ride Shergar into Hades.

Or, maybe, Harry just wanted to be a drama queen, said he wasn't staying then changed his mind.

Where do you think he could stay at Kensington Palace?
It’s not a series of spare bedrooms. It’s not a giant house!
It's made up of mainly occupied apartments,
Perhaps Foisted on the Duke of Kent? Why didn’t he ask Eugenie for the use of Ivy Cottage?
