At a recent event, King Charles III appeared to have made a move toward his son, Prince Harry, and his daughter-in-law, Meghan Markle.
His Majesty, accompanied by his wife, Queen Camilla, attended the City of London, where he delivered a powerful speech that focused on mental health, and his role as the new monarch, and briefly touched on the two major crises afflicting the world.
During the fancy dinner and reception at Mansion House to recognize the work of City of London civic institutions and Livery Companies, His Majesty said in his remarks: “The instinct to cooperate wherever and whenever possible is deep within us. Even in the most fractious times – when disagreements are polished, paraded, and asserted – there is in our land a kind of muscle memory that does not have to be like this.”
King Charles went on to use some heavy words. He said it was time to end the shouting matches and focus on having constructive and uplifting debates in this complex and blended society.
His Majesty boldly declared that it is time to be civilized and added: “That the temptation to turn ourselves into a shouting or recriminatory society must be resisted, or at least heavily mitigated whenever possible, especially in the digital sphere, where civilized debate too often gives way to rancor and acrimony.”
He continued by asking for more decency and a better understanding of one another.
King Charles demanded: “These instincts come together in perhaps the deepest of all our reservoirs—the one that irrigates our crucial sense of responsibility, both individual and collective—that enables us to fulfill our duties as good citizens who understand, without having to write them down or formalize them, the decencies on which our institutions and our constitution depend, as well as our relationships, one to another.”
Royal commentator Angela Levin said that she believes that King Charles sent a direct message to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who are often “screaming for an apology or ultimatum” from the Royal Family.
The author told GB News that King Charles is boldly announcing that he will not respond to or acknowledge the screams and yells from Montecito.
She revealed: “There’s a bit here that is just about Harry and Meghan, and I’ll just read these lines: “Do we pause instinctively and unerringly before speaking or acting to ensure we are affording equal weight to both sides of the balance? Our society would be a kinder and gentler place for it.”
She added: “I think it’s quite interesting because it’s a message to Harry – ‘don’t come in and start shouting at me and demanding that years later we still apologize to Meghan’.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will have to work hard to reach an agreement with the Royal Family.
