Prince Harry's late-night call to the Palace has stirred controversy as he urgently seeks Megan Markle's addition to the state counselors' list, citing concerns about King Charles and Princess Kate's health.
While King Charles is scheduled for surgery next week due to an enlarged prostate, Princess Kate is currently undergoing planned abdominal surgery, as disclosed by Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace within hours of each other. The unusually detailed health updates aim to encourage men to prioritize regular health checks.
The health challenges facing key members of the royal family come at a time when Megan and Harry express eagerness to return to England. However, Hello magazine, reportedly influenced by Megan, raises concerns about the monarchy's stability in light of recent health issues. The article notes that the royal family had envisioned 2024 as a year of recovery but faces uncertainties with key members temporarily stepping back from their roles.
Insiders speculate that Prince Harry's immediate call may not have been solely about the health of his father and sister-in-law but rather a request to include Megan on the list of state counselors. This move has faced criticism, considering that Harry and Megan had already stepped back from their royal roles. Calls to update the State Council with all royal illnesses have sparked controversy, with suggestions to remove Prince Harry, Prince Andrew, and Sophie, The Duchess of Edinburgh, from the list.
Amid concerns about King William caring for Catherine and their children while Camilla attends to the king, the mention of dark magic and speculations about Princess Katherine's health adds complexity to the situation. Debates about potential interventions and rallying around the royal family in adversity further complicate the dynamics of the situation.
Royal commentator Moren Callahan expressed her thoughts on the matter, highlighting the controversies surrounding Prince Harry and Megan. In a candid piece for the Daily Mail, she discussed the implications of the late Queen's thoughts on Lilibet's name and insights from a new book by Robert Hardman, alleging a negative reaction from the late monarch. Callahan concluded by emphasizing the couple's tendency to monetize various aspects of their lives, noting that they registered their daughter's full name, Lilibet Diana, on several online domains even before her birth.
