It seems that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did not get the memo that King Charles III disapproves of them talking about the monarchy or, as he likes to call it, the Crown.
Since becoming the new Sovereign, close sources and allies to King Charles have been using the same terminology to describe how he feels about the monarchy he has inherited from Queen Elizabeth II.
The King will be ruthless when it comes to protecting his reign and, most importantly, the reputation of the British monarchy.
Time and time again, friends of the King have warned Prince Harry and Markle not to venture back into the path that took them into the bombshell and damaging interview with Oprah Winfrey.
King Charles got his message out this week via a reliable source who spoke to Page Six, saying that he will not tolerate Prince Harry and Markle tarnishing his Crown.
The source from within The Palace walls said: “Harry and Meghan are quite aware that if they do or say anything that might be deemed insensitive towards Harry’s family, then they risk being cut off completely. There’s a sense among the family that they are already on thin ice, and they need to step cautiously. Harry knows that his father can be quite ruthless if he has to be. Charles won’t tolerate the reputation of the Crown being tarnished by a member of his family.”
However, it seems that the warnings have fallen on deaf ears. In their first public appearance, Markle and Prince Harry ensured to get a few things off their chests about King Charles’s precious Crown.
Failing to respect King Charles’s wishes and warnings, Prince Harry slammed the monarchy.
Prince Harry participated in the Masters of Scale conference because he represents the mental health coaching firm Betterup.
While exchanging with the company’s founder, Alexi Robichaux, Prince Harry took a fresh dig at the monarchy/the Crown by saying that he had never heard the word therapy and suggested that mental health and help are not a priority for the royals.
“From a boss standpoint, if you see your people as numbers, you will fail. You can’t treat them as numbers, but folks who need a human connection to fire on all cylinders.” Wise words from Prince Harry! #MastersOfScaleSummit https://t.co/mVkSrr6cal

Doron Weber, Vice President & Program Director of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, tweeted: “Prince Harry says growing up in the royal family & then spending ten years in the military, he never heard the words “therapy” or “coaching.” Then the blinkers came off, and his life changed.”
Prince Harry then said: “I have a coach. I wish I had two.” Meghan Markle also took a swipe at the institution in her lengthy and revealing interview with Variety.
She made it clear that she will support Archie and Lilibet in their career choices and will ignore the expectations that the Royal Family may have for them.
She told Variety Magazine: “When you become a parent, you genuinely want your kids to find the things that bring them complete joy.”
However, she added: “They’re our kids, obviously, and they’re part of a legacy and a tradition and a family that will have other expectations.”
She concluded by saying: “But I want them to be able to carve out their own path if it’s the entertainment industry, great. And also, good luck. There are so many people that will talk about what opened the door for my children. But it still takes talent and a lot of grit. We’re creating multi-dimensional, interesting, kind, creative people. That’s who our kids are.”
King Charles will be exasperated by the fact that the renegade royals keep attacking his Crown and all that it stands for.
