In a surprising turn of events, the decision by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to step back from their royal duties, also known as Megxit, has brought Prince Charles and his late mother, Queen Elizabeth, closer together.
This revelation comes from a new book titled “The Making of a King, King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy” written by Robert Hartman.
Although the book is yet to be released, excerpts have been serialized in the Daily Mail, providing intriguing insights into the royal family dynamics.
According to Hartman’s interview with People Magazine, it appears that even within the royal family, relationships can be quite normal.
Despite Queen Elizabeth’s position as the monarch, she and Prince Charles did not always see eye to eye on various issues.
However, they both agreed that Harry and Meghan should not be allowed to continue as part-time royals.
The couple needed to make a clear decision – either fully commit to their roles or pursue their own interests outside of the royal family.
Initially, when Harry and Meghan announced their departure, they had hoped to have the freedom to pick and choose their engagements and use their brand Sussex Royal for financial gain.
However, Queen Elizabeth swiftly put an end to these plans, making it clear that they would not be allowed to profit from their royal status or cherry-pick their responsibilities.
The queen’s stance was firm – either fulfill their royal duties or seek their fortune elsewhere.
The bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview in 2021 marked a turning point for Harry and Meghan.
Not only did it shock the world, but it also brought Charles and Queen Elizabeth closer together as they were equally insulted by the accusations made during the interview.
It became evident that Harry and Meghan’s reasons for leaving their royal positions were not entirely truthful.
Their plan to move to America and achieve fame and fortune seemed to be unraveling.
This suspicion was further confirmed by the release of Harry and Meghan’s docu-series on Netflix in December 2022, followed by Spare in January 2023.
These productions revealed a pattern of throwing the royal family under the bus, making baseless accusations, and portraying themselves as victims.
The royal family’s reaction to these bombshells was described by Hartman as a mix of resignation and focus on their own responsibilities.
While King Charles has never made a public statement about his son and daughter-in-law, his friends have provided insights into his feelings.
It is evident that he deeply loves his son and is saddened by Harry’s actions.
However, he is limited in what he can do, as any punitive measures could backfire and provide Harry and Meghan with more ammunition to play the victim.
Ignoring their behavior seems to be the best course of action.
Despite the regrettable circumstances, there is still a sense of what could have been if Harry and Meghan had chosen to remain as working royals.
The loss they represent to the institution is acknowledged and understood.
There is no sense of “good riddance,” but rather a profound sadness over the situation.
While blame may lie with Harry and Meghan, it does not diminish the overall sadness surrounding their departure.
The impact of Megxit on the royal family is a topic of debate.
Some believe that it brought the remaining members closer together, while others may have a different perspective.
