What should Charles and William do?

[FunsTheWord]

Where can the royal family go from here? What do you think Charles, Camilla, Kate and William should do?

Can they trust the Sussexes ever again? Probably not.

Where do the family go from here and how do they get there? Can this situation be resolved where everyone is happy or at least content?

Lots of people are very angry with Harry now but how do they and those who are Harry fans want the King to handle this?

I don't think it is necessarily a case where one side is totally right the other wrong

Unfortunately it appears that that is PH's stance.

You can't reason with a person who has paranoia and delusions of grandeur. Both signs of schizophrenia which is known can be caused by long term drug use. The drugs taken over a long period of time have addled Harry's brain. RF are best saying nothing to H&M. Having no contact with them at all and not inviting them to UK for any royal functions. Let them go their own way in with their own truth in fantasy land. Just in hope the Taliban don't strike at Archie or Lilibet now Harry has painted targets on their backs.

The problem is that their are two different angles to this.
As a loving father and brother, Charles and William are probably desperate to resolve things (perhaps a parent, ie Charles, would me more accepting than a sibling tho!).
However, they are also King and Prince of Wales, so they know that their priority has to be what is best for both the monarchy and the country. This is what Harry fundamentally fails to understand - that the great privilege of royal life also comes with responsibility and duty. He has willingly given up the latter - which is fine - but bizarrely wants to hang onto the titles, rights of succession and privileges too. He just doesn't see the issues in anything other than the most simplistic, black and white, terms.

😂

I hope they keep ignoring them. I think PH is baiting them for a reaction. How could they meet with him? I wouldn’t trust him not to publish the discussions they had.

I also hope they don’t get an invite to the coronation as I feel the public backlash would be huge from those that ultimately support the monarchy.

At heart I am a republican but I now feel sorry for the royal family, especially when Harry starts to talk about the Wales children.

we cannot diagnose from afar but I grew up in a family with a sibling with mental health issues self-medicated by drugs and saw the rewriting of childhood memories and incidents, which bore no relation to reality. We were always walking on eggshells around them and it was such hard work. I can see a few similarities here to be honest.

I think any attempted reconciliation is more likely to be an intervention to try and get Harry into rehab/ psych facility,.

so personally I think Charles needs to pick between son or the future of the monarchy, harry and Meghan have gone too far now. It can’t be come back from for the uk and global audience

I agree with this. I’m a royalist and I don’t mind admitting it. I would find it very difficult to continue to be if these two were welcomed back into the fold, given high profile jobs in the commonwealth, as they seem to want, and we were expected to accept that.

What exactly should they respond to? The most politically damaging thing they've said was the race thing, and they've already made a statement on that two years ago. The rest is just a rehash of complaints about Palace relationship with press and the fact some staff and family took a dislike to Meghan.

I’d put out a statement of wishing them well and the door is always open. The problem with leaks is so many are pure speculation. Charles is or isn’t going to invite them, a 50% chance either way but are held up as proof of leaking. I could be the source for that.

this 100%

I think the close family life that Kate has experienced means her children will not suffer any "old fashioned" Royal lifestyle. They have uncles, aunts and lots of cousins to play with. I feel sorry for Archie & Lili who have none of those things through their parents' actions.

This. They have a job to do. They'll get on with it.

I think this is true. Diana wasn't royal, but she was still aristocracy from a fairly messy background and doesn't seem to have maintained especially close relationships with them.

Kate has a relatively normal family - there's no sign they're anything other than close and loving and they seem to have remained tight after her marriage. That's a big difference for her children.

I agree that there is the private situation between them all as a family and then the monarchy.

I don't want to see the Sussexes welcomed back into the fold in terms of having any official duties representing the family in an official capacity, monarchists will not tolerate this. I agree that if they attend the coronation, they will not receive a warm welcome from members of the public, who tend to be royal fans and the ones attending royal events.

Both sides recording all conversations and NDAs might enable them to sit around the table together and talk or occasionally meet up but not with the children. H&M have violated his family's privacy and can never be trusted to keep things private after all this.

In Kate's shoes, I could not forgive Meghan and wouldn't.

The briefings and the royal family - press relationship have to change, Harry has a point there, the only point in my view. I would hate to see Kate, Charlotte, George, Louis being dragged through the mud by the tabloids once they lay off the Sussexes, if they ever do. If the royal household do indeed brief against each other, that is not on, they need to stop this and some personal things such as relationship issues etc should never be reported on. Drug use or any other dodgy activity should obviously be reported. I can't see Meghan ever integrating in the UK her home is California and NA is where she feels confident and herself. She would wither away in the UK. Harry also seems much happier in their Montecito home, now they just need to let things be.

They need to acknowledge to the public that the way they've treated Harry and Meghan was wrong, they made mistakes in hindsight and reflection and apologise.

But they won't do that because that would involve losing face.

But what mistakes did they make?

@IAmWomanHearMeRoar1 - I suggest you read the review of Spare in The Guardian. Try some balanced thought for a change. No one is thoroughly perfect and to believe otherwise is not just blinkered but peculiar. Even die-hard football fans can admit their team’s faults.

Haven't you paid attention to anything?

So you don't know?

Unlike you and the royalist in that 'review', I know not everyone is perfect. Which is why I say William and Charles must admit their fault, which they currently aren't doing. Perhaps try for a change to think that William and Charles aren't faultless and blameless as you appear to think they are.

I refer you to the netflix series and his book. It's all in there.

Delete Harry’s phone numbers and block him from ringing/emailing them. If he wants to get in touch he knows where to find them. And I’d ignore him until possibly once he separates from Meghan and comes grovelling back.

there’s no point talking to him now. He seems to have a loose grasp on reality, a total finger pointing/blame/victim mentality and it wouldn’t get them anywhere and he’d sell his version of any conversation to the highest bidder.

I do also think that Harry also needs to address what he needs to do next. He and his children are surrounded by other famous/rich/influential neighbours who will value their privacy. I can see them being treated very suspiciously in the future especially if the threats of do as I say or there will be another book.

What should Charles and William do?

Abdicate.

Harry had an argument with his brother
Harry's dad was a bit aloof at times
Harry wasn't keen on his dad's choice of partner
Harry's family weren't that keen on his new partner
Harry's family may or may not have been a little bit racist
Harry had to live in the dump that was Nottingham Cottage
Harry once had to go cloths shopping in an high street shop for plebs
Sometimes Harry's servants would park their car in front of his bedroom window
One of the matrons at Harry's school wasn't sexy enough

Anything else?
