Amidst the mourning of Queen Elizabeth’s passing, King Charles and Prince William engaged in private discussions, deliberately excluding Prince Harry, as revealed in an upcoming book titled “Charles III, New King, New Court, The Inside Story.”
Author Robert Hardman sheds light on key details surrounding the monarch’s final months and the aftermath of her death.
According to Hardman, one of the new king’s initial decisions was to have a conversation with his eldest son shortly after his mother’s demise.
However, due to prevailing tensions, it was deemed best to exclude Prince Harry from the discussion.
In the book, which is being serialized by Mail Online, Hardman writes that the new Prince of Wales joined the couple for dinner that evening and stayed at Burkle.
The king needed to have discreet and crucial discussions with his eldest son, and it was decided that this was not the time for opening up to include Prince Harry, especially considering his plans to write a book.
The staff member stated that Charles III required a clear mind without distractions, given the immense responsibility of consoling the entire nation while coping with the loss of both parents.
It was clear that the king couldn’t discuss matters with Harry that he didn’t want published, and although he wouldn’t confront him, he also wouldn’t invite him to live in a palace.
Princess Anne, the king’s sister, played a vital role in the aftermath of the queen’s death by welcoming Harry to Balmoral.
However, when Anne saw Meghan Markle by his side, she agreed with William and Charles’ decision to exclude her.
Anne perceived Meghan as an evil woman who had caused distress to her mother during her final years.
Just a week prior to the queen’s passing, Meghan had given an interview to Cut magazine, which was far from pleasant.
She had threatened to speak freely since she didn’t have a non-disclosure agreement.
Given her indiscretion and lack of trustworthiness, the royal family wanted to keep her away from the queen.
They believed that Meghan would exploit the circumstances for personal gain and distort the truth.
Furthermore, the book also reveals that Prince William insisted on a royal walkabout with Prince Harry and Meghan following Queen Elizabeth’s death.
Despite reports of a growing rift between the fab four, as they were known before Harry and Meghan’s resignation from senior royal duties in 2020, the Prince and Princess of Wales joined the Sussexes in greeting members of the public outside Windsor Castle.
Mr. Hardman, citing conversations with the prince’s closest advisers, claims that the walkabout was primarily William’s idea as he felt it was the right thing to do for his grandmother.
Despite the inherent awkwardness, William organized the event within a remarkably short span of two hours.
In conclusion, the aftermath of Queen Elizabeth’s passing has revealed intricate dynamics within the royal family.
Charles and William’s private discussions excluded Prince Harry, while Princess Anne supported their decision due to her negative perception of Meghan.
Meanwhile, Prince William’s insistence on a royal walkabout with Harry and Meghan showcased his commitment to honoring their grandmother’s legacy, despite the reported tensions.
These revelations offer a glimpse into the complexities of the royal family during a time of mourning and transition.
