According to biographer Tom Bower's insights into the inner workings of the Royal Family, King Charles's choice to forgo a meeting with his youngest son, Prince Harry, during Harry's recent visit to the UK, wasn't merely a missed opportunity for a photo op.
Prince Harry had communicated beforehand that due to the Monarch's packed schedule, a reunion wasn't feasible. Bower, in a discussion on GB News, posited that Buckingham Palace wasn't falling for what he perceived as a Sussex attempt to manipulate public perception in their favor. He emphasized the significance of Meghan Markle's upcoming visit to Nigeria, tracing her familial roots there.
Bower suggested that Meghan's transition from seeking privacy in California to engaging in royal affairs was a calculated move aimed at bolstering their tarnished brand. The crux of the matter, according to Bower, lies in Harry's desire for a photo opportunity with his father, which would lend legitimacy to his royal status during his Nigeria visit. However, the King's refusal to indulge in such theatrics was justified, given the true intentions behind the Sussexes' actions.
Nigel Farage, in a candid conversation, questioned whether this marked a toughening stance from the Monarch. Bower concurred, highlighting the exploitation of London's misery by the Sussexes and the unfair portrayal of William and Kate. He argued that the royal couple should rightfully be representing the monarchy in Nigeria, not the Sussexes.
Farage didn't hold back his criticism of Prince Harry, labeling him a "treacherous little brat" for his absence at significant royal events. He juxtaposed Harry's absence with the King's commitments, showcasing the stark contrast in priorities. Meanwhile, commentator Charlotte Griffiths shed light on the intricate negotiations that preceded King Charles's decision not to meet with Prince Harry.
She hinted at underlying tensions and Harry's specific demands, which complicated the situation. Griffiths speculated on the involvement of other influencers, perhaps including Prince William's input on the matter, and highlighted the contentious issue of Camilla's presence during meetings between Charles and Harry. Harry's solo presence during the visit added another layer of complexity to an already delicate situation.
