In a surprising power move, King Charles, who recently ascended to the throne, has taken decisive steps to assert his sovereignty, stealing the spotlight from ex-royals Prince Harry and Meghan.
This bold move indicates that the monarch is determined to quell the ongoing drama that has plagued the royal family since the controversial departure of the Sussex couple to the US, according to an insider.
A senior courtier asserts that a major shift in the dynamics of the monarchy is currently underway.
King Charles, exhausted by the turmoil caused by Harry and Meghan’s relocation, has firmly taken control and put the renegade couple in their place.
The 74-year-old King wasted no time in demonstrating his resolve immediately after his coronation on May 6th.
In a surprising twist, King Charles made an appearance on the popular US television show American Idol alongside his wife, Queen Camilla.
This unexpected presence caught American Idol judges Katy Perry and Lionel Richie off guard, as they had previously performed at the star-studded coronation concert.
The live show audience across the Atlantic warmly applauded King Charles and Queen Camilla’s surprise visit to the Buckingham Palace throne room during the broadcast.
According to a palace insider, this move by His Majesty is a brilliant power play, sending a resounding message to the Sussexes that he cannot be trifled with.
The decision to appear on American Idol was carefully calculated, deliberately encroaching on Meghan’s territory and catching her off guard, thereby unsettling her.
With this single action, King Charles effortlessly overshadowed the former Suits actress, solidifying his A-list status while she seems to be fading into the background.
This is just the beginning of King Charles holding the reins, the courtier adds.
The King’s strategy against the Sussex couple appears to be working, as their attempts to undermine the monarchy are not gaining the expected support, as recent poll numbers indicate.
Despite Meghan’s accusations of racism and Prince Harry’s tell-all memoir, the British public’s loyalty to the monarchy remains unwavering.
The coronation ceremony attracted an impressive 20 million viewers in the UK, surpassing the 17.9 million who watched Harry and Meghan’s extravagant wedding in 2018.
The palace insider reveals that if the Sussex couple believed their scandalous disclosures would turn the public against the monarchy, they have gravely miscalculated.
Their popularity has suffered both in the UK and the US.
Meanwhile, sources claim that Harry and Meghan are frustrated by the lack of acknowledgment or contact from Buckingham Palace following their near-catastrophic car chase in New York.
It is believed that senior royals, including King Charles and Prince William, have not spoken to the Sussexes since the incident.
Harry had hoped for some support from his estranged family, but it seems to have eluded him.
Prince William may be outraged not only because some people are questioning the validity of the Sussexes’ statement about the supposed near-catastrophic chase but also because they are accused of exploiting Princess Diana’s memory for personal gain.
Many individuals have drawn comparisons between Harry and Meghan’s car chase and Princess Diana’s tragic death in 1997.
Some believe that Prince William has every reason to be upset.
Commenting on the matter, one person said, “Honestly, if I were Prince William, this would be the last straw.
For Harry to use their mother’s tragic death as a publicity stunt to gain attention and win a security case in the UK is beyond sordid and inhumane.
Harry has lost all morality.
He is now consumed by Hollywood and money.
Additionally, lying about a threat in another country is completely unacceptable.
Having the New York City mayor and the NYPD label them as liars and hysterics is highly discrediting.”
Another critic wrote, “Prince William and the rest of the royal family must be appalled that Harry, who constantly speaks about Diana, would cheapen her memory in this way.
It is disgraceful.
