It is believed that King Charles III is at a point in his life where he has accepted his many flaws and mistakes.
He has made many mistakes while he was heir to the throne and brought much shame and scandal to his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, and the monarchy.
King Charles has been pardoned by the British people, and he has forgiven himself and is moving on with his life based on the idea that he should not be expected to pay for those mistakes for the rest of his time on earth.
According to royal experts, His Majesty, who will celebrate his 75th birthday, is a wise old man who wants to be seen as a unifier and a grandfather to the nation.
This is why many say he has made the concession that what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
If King Charles has acknowledged that he should be forgiven — for the affair with Queen Camilla, money drama, scandalous divorce, bombshell leaks, and other embarrassing situations involving the late Princess Diana — the same can be said for Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle.
Richard Kay, royal author for the Daily Mail, appearing in a special episode of Palace Confidential to celebrate the Monarch’s upcoming birthday, said King Charles has gone from confused to “very comfortable in his skin.”
He stated: “The Prince of Wales, as he then was, was a confused man. He was constantly competing with his wife [Princess Diana] and unsure of himself, so he was often criticized in public. But the king he is today? He’s a man much more comfortable in his skin, in large part because of his marriage to Queen Camilla.”
King Charles has remained unfazed by the actions and words of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle because he knows this too shall pass, the monarchy will survive, and the Montecito couple will write calmer and more uplifting chapters in their lives.
The royal commentator shared: “I think that’s going to go on. I think what’s interesting is what his response has been. He has remained stoically silent, indeed almost impervious, to many statements and remarks that have come out of California, and I think that will continue. He is becoming, I think, what he wants to be, which is the nation’s grandpa. It was always going to be such a difficult act to follow after the queen.”
The Daily Mail’s royal editor Rebecca English explained that sources close to King Charles have said that he admitted that no one should be punished all their lives for their errors — not him, presumably, not Queen Camilla, not Prince Andrew, and not Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The veteran royal expert said: “Senior members of the royal staff have told me the King would be the first to admit that he made mistakes in his personal life’ in the past. But should he be expected to pay for those mistakes for the rest of his time on earth? Time is a healer, and people have come to accept him for the man that he is. He’s in a much happier place personally, and that seeps into his professional life.”
A small window is opening for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
