King Charles III

[ConstantGarden1]

Will he?

I am no gambler but I can’t see it myself. Not unless he wants to show his support of his son. Would KC be that generous to his ‘darling boy’? If he did it will definitely upset some anti Harry royalists/daily mail readers/ right wing Americans. Can’t have Harry receiving the King surely….he is supposed to be beyond the pale these days.

William is reported as being ‘baffled’. Baffled? More like blazingly angry about it if true. I guess Will’s thought he could act like a ‘cuckoo’ and get Harry out now and forever. Maybe, the ‘bullying’ trait reported over the years by many, many people regarding him is still there.

Although not sure how I ended up in a Royal Discussion group.

At a guess it went something like this.

1. You clicked on the 'Royal Family' forum.
2. You then clicked on the 'Start a thread' button.
3. You then posted a thread which suggests you devote a lot of thought to the royal family.
4. You then added a link about the royal family which you had previously read.
5. Finally, you clicked 'Post'.

Sound about right?

Why should he be the one to make all the effort when it is much easier for Harry to do so?

Quite. If all these many Montecito leaks to the US tabloids are to be believed, Harry is desperate for his children to be connected to all his family. That can be achieved quite nicely with a Summer in Balmoral, when all the wider family members will rock up at one time or other and nobody needs to worry about accommodation, security, privacy and medical attention should it be required at short notice for Charles.

The weather in Balmoral will be nicer. No worries about extreme heat, wildfires, floods, etc. lots of secure space for the kids to run. No overwhelming stench of cannabis from cannabis farms.

The area around Balmoral is wonderful and the local people in Ballater etc are very protective of the RF . ( I live not too far away ).
The only time Meghan showed any desire to visit Balmoral was when The Queen was dying .
The children would have a fabulous time but I really can’t see Meghan traipsing across the heather for a picnic in a bothy!

Not even if there's jam sandwiches?

Imagine forcing your father, who is undergoing cancer treatment, to fly thousands of miles to see you because you and your wife are having a tantrum about being treated like VIPs.

And all after you’d gone on global tv to slag him off too.

I struggle to see how Harry has a leg to stand on, much less how he is any sort of victim.

Forget the weather and the long haul flights, I doubt Harry allowing the security forces to do a quick sweep for cameras and recording devices. Or the fear that Netflix will suddenly appear and all conversations potentially being noted for future reference are bigger worries for Charles. No amount of love can repair the issue of trust.

Aside from that, William doesn't have to 'get Harry out.' This isn't Game of Thrones or a Shakespeare history play. William is going to be king. Harry isn't.

You can tell the sugary posters by their conviction that somehow William is a usurper. King Harry could only happen if William died and then all his children die without issue. They are the first in line. This is not an election. Making Harry more popular won’t make the Wales family go away.

Exactly. Try harder OP.

“William is going to be king. Harry isn't.”

And therein lies the problem ! It sticks in Harry’s craw that he is the spare.

And even in that scenario it might not be a given. A king who's been living in California for years, and has routinely trashed his family and country?

Most people with that choice would probably be baying for a republic.

We shouldn't forget that Charles was telling him mum that Harry only called him for money when she was suggesting some sort of reconciliation; and that Charles couldn't get Harry out of the door quick enough when he bowled up to do his face-saving sick-dad-visit so he didn't look too bad handing out that sports award in Las Vegas a few days later.
I think Charles could well be resigned to the status quo. I certainly don't think he'd want to disturb it at this point.

I do wonder if the great unstated narrative is that Charles and William are actually relieved that Harry isn't their day to day problem, and that while he is in the US "living his best life" and "winning" they don't need to think about how to keep him occupied and out of trouble. Obviously all the sniping and gossiping from Montecito must have been hard to deal with at first, but mostly it feels old, stale and predictable now, and laughable in the face of what both men have been dealing with this year. I'm sure the palace files on Harry (and possibly Meghan) are hefty, and the petulance and threats coming from their direction are not taken too seriously. I'm sure they don't wish him any ill will and hope he is indeed happy; but there's no need to become embroiled in their drama for the sake of answering insincere overtures leaked to gossip rags and the tabloid fantasy of reconciliation for photo ops and column inches.

i would imagine the “ men in suits” have an easier life not to mention the staff who alleged bullying by Meghan .

I think they are both old enough to have come to terms with the fact that while it's a private family tragedy that the family and PH are estranged, it's not the biggest tragedy in the world and they'll cope. My family went through something a bit similar when DB re-married - no-one was especially enamoured of SIL but the consensus was 'she makes him happy and that's what matters.' Same with the RF - 'shame about Harry but we're sure he's happy and that's what matters' (although IMO if he's happy he needs to tell his face). Sometimes familial relations are not all harmony, and that's as true for the RF as anyone else.

And I imagine the suits and the office at KP are DELIGHTED they don't have to cope with tantrums and demands and image management.

This sugary sweet story seems to have originated from their new mouthpiece Quinn in a US publication.
Where has Scrobie doo gone I wonder? I reckon he’s been Markled.

Yes true, @Mylovelygreendress. Must not forget what the poor staff have had to endure!

I wonder what price it took to detach from Scooby, doesn't he know rather a lot about them?

I was wondering this morning what the RF are doing lately that this has arisen as a distraction.

Exactly this.
William was always the bright, popular one. Harry was always jealous because he struggled academically and socially and hated being compared to William who excelled at everything.

“Will’s thought he could act like a ‘cuckoo’…”

Yes, acting like as opposed to being an actual cuckoo. Nice one. Getting rid of Harry seemed something he had been hankering after for some time. Dysfunctional family due to the antiquated hierarchical system which in this day and age should mean sweet f.a. to anyone. Only room for one on that throne and Willy has acted appallingly behind the scenes as many have attested to.

Maybe he only knows what they wanted him to know MrsD. I would guess that they’re fairly Machiavellian and have not taken any chances with what information they’ve shared.

Beautifull put, @Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar .

All the sugary cliches - you only get one life, blood is thicker than water, but faaaamily. There is geat relief, along with the regret, in going NC with a family member you care about. I don't accept that Charles is as wetly sentimental as some posters here think.

Getting rid of Harry seemed something he had been hankering after for some time

Oooh, DO give us the inside dirt you have there! is it really juicy?

Dysfunctional family due to the antiquated hierarchical system

Dysfunctional families occur everywhere. It's not the fault of the system.

He didn’t get rid of Harry ! He and his wife flounced off when they couldn’t get their own way !
In what way has William acted appallingly behind the scenes ?
