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?

She may get a pay off if they split whilst KC is still alive but not a chance when William is King, I’m sure William will think publish and be damned, her ire will mainly be at Harry by that point, and if I was William it would be full on schadenfreude with an extra side of popcorn.

@BigWillyLittleTodger I agree. Plus, a memoir about the 18-ish months when she was part of the RF would be such old news. What else would there be to say about that short period that hasn't already been said?

Yes, I think it's all been said and used against the RF. Plus, as pp have said, she doesn't have much credibility left because what she said wasn't true.

The book would basically be the secret life of Harry in Cali. All his dirty secrets and misdoings.

The prince who peed in the plant pot (made up don’t sue me 😅🤣🫣)

I think they might have tried it.
I'm sure the visit was kept short n sweet for a reason
Thats another reason hes also less likely to ask infront of Camilla and Meghan

I don’t think he’s lying. He’s gaslit, overly therapized and full of American emotionalism, and spouting his “own truth”. I doubt he spent editing and fact checking his own book.

But to give him the benefit of the doubt, behind closed doors, we really don’t know what his upbringing was like. He may have been subject to hugs in public, but few and far between for all we know. Of course, he may have received lots of love from others … Aunts, nannies.

Megan is not NDAed so a deal may have been struck to prevent her book in her in return for a fat cheque.

It's unlikely that he was only hugged in public! You can see by the way Charles behaves, it's natural and part of his parenting. He was determined to be negative and critical of his father.
I hope his children aren't the same, one day.
To add: yes, he was lying. "His truth" isn't "the truth ".

On the Joe Marler podcast, when asked his occupation, he's said Prince of England.
Not Britain...England 🙄
Plus ...how is that still his job when he left?

Wha?!

Yep. That is his occupation.
Seriously.

I thought he was adorable on the Joe Marler podcast. Really funny, relaxed and normal.

Well, he is a. "Prince of England"
😂😂

’Prince of England’.

Hierarchical, ignorant wanker.

Hilarious 😂

Absolutely.
I wish I could share on here the photo of him spinning Camillas DGD. I can find the photo on-line but I can't figure out how to share it.

Hugging isn’t the only way to show love, hugs are easy, Charles has his own way of expressing it and I would say writing him notes took a lot more effort, thought and love, shame Harry couldn’t understand that, this poor Harry was so unloved bollocks needs to stop.

Prince Harry revealed in his memoir Spare that King Charles (then Prince of Wales) would leave letters on his pillow after long dinners. The notes expressed how proud Charles was of Harry, as he found it difficult to express such intimate feelings to his face.
Prince Harry detailed that Charles struggled with emotional communication face-to-face. Because of this, Harry would occasionally come upstairs after multi-course dinners to find a letter on his bed. While Harry appreciated the sweet bedtime ritual—often smiling and placing the notes under his pillow—he also admitted to feeling puzzled about why his father did not just say those words directly to him across the table

It seems really cruel to share such an intimate detail.

Very selfish and nasty.

I don’t wish it on them but expect we will hear from his own children one day.

I think those letters must have been very sweet.
Just thinking of KC and Zara at Ascot, she tapped him on the shoulder, he turned and gave her a massive hug.
There is just no way Charles didn't hug the boys especially not in private.

Absolutely, he's clearly affectionate.

Well, it wouldn't surprise me.

Do you know about Joe marlers background? , it would be nice if royals could check before hand!

Seeing Prince Louis climbing onto his lap at the Coronation Concert shows he clearly is affectionate
