Conservative Member of Parliament Bob Seeley is set to present a bill to Parliament in the coming days, urging the stripping of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Sussex titles.
However, the one person who could potentially prevent this from happening is King Charles.
Historically, Charles has expressed his reluctance to remove their titles or exclude their two children from the line of succession.
While this stance goes against public opinion, it aligns with Charles’ aversion to confrontation, a trait well-known among palace staff.
Nevertheless, influential figures such as Camilla, Anne, Catherine, and Sophie are reportedly in favor of holding Harry and Meghan accountable for their actions, providing Charles with a strong support system.
It would be wise for him to heed their concerns.
Many within the royal household share similar sentiments and are perplexed by Charles’ hesitation.
By failing to take decisive action against Meghan and Harry, Charles inadvertently allows Meghan to continue her relentless attacks on the royal family.
Meghan appears undeterred in her mission, convinced that she is winning this battle.
However, Charles should be concerned about what lies ahead.
Reports have emerged regarding Meghan’s dissatisfaction with the royal family’s failure to acknowledge their historical involvement in colonialism.
She allegedly questioned why the queen had not issued a formal apology to Commonwealth countries affected by slavery.
This should have served as a warning sign to the late Queen Elizabeth II, who likely believed that Charles could address the issue at a later date.
Meghan’s ongoing denigration of the royal family poses a significant challenge for Charles.
The allegations made by Meghan and Harry, particularly those concerning racism, have caused immense harm to the monarchy’s reputation.
It is unfair that the royal family is being implicated without an opportunity to clarify their position.
The current situation is unsustainable, and it is time for resolution.
If Charles remains paralyzed by fear of conflict with his son and daughter-in-law, he risks jeopardizing the entire royal family.
Perhaps it is time for him to consider stepping aside and allowing Prince William to assume a more prominent role in managing the situation.
While this may not be an ideal scenario, Charles must recognize that strength and decisive action are essential to his role as king.
The monarchy’s viability is at stake, and the current and previous monarchs have struggled to respond effectively.
Protecting the institution falls squarely on the shoulders of the monarch and Parliament.
However, Charles seems either unwilling or unable to address the issue decisively, while Parliament moves too slowly.
This failure could lead to disastrous consequences.
Meghan and Harry are well aware that their window of opportunity to cause havoc within the royal family will close once Prince William ascends to the throne.
It appears that Charles is not the one Meghan should be concerned about; William, as the next in line, is likely to take a firm stance against them.
Charles must consider how he wants to be remembered in history.
Does he wish to be known as an eccentric eco-warrior and political meddler who failed to maintain order within his own family?
He must prioritize his responsibilities as king, focusing on upholding justice and separating good from evil.
Though this may be an unpleasant aspect of his role, every job comes with its challenges.
Charles must find the courage to speak up and restore what is right and true for the kingdom.
The people need to witness good triumph over evil, and Charles must demonstrate his commitment to fighting for his subjects, even when faced with opposition from within his own family.
Being a good king is never easy, and Charles’ mother, Queen Elizabeth II, exemplified this throughout her reign.
She consistently acted in the best interest of her people, regardless of the difficulty involved.
Charles now faces a similar test.
He must show his people that he is prepared to fight for what is good and just, even when the battle involves a member of his own family.
It is his duty to protect the monarchy and ensure its continued relevance.
The monarchy’s future hangs in the balance, and Charles must rise to the occasion.
