Prince Harry opened the year with harsh words and painful revelations, and King Charles III has decided to close it with a tougher stance and a greater wall between the royals in London and those who reside in Montecito.
It was in early January 2023 that Prince Harry made history with his best-selling memoir Spare. The mother of all nonfiction, which sold over one million copies the first week it was published, made Prince Harry an accomplished and successful author.
It contained embarrassing secrets about King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton.
King Charles has used the 10 months following the release of Spare to brutally punish Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and his youngest grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet.
His Majesty handled the Sussexes’ unruliness by evicting them from their British home, Frogmore Cottage. The couple and their children have been without a London-based residence since.
However, Prince Harry assumed that he could work with King Charles to solve that matter. He was royally wrong.
Over the summer, Prince Harry pleaded with his father to spend the night at Windsor Castle on the first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II‘s passing, but he was denied, and the Palace leaked that story to the media.
Prince Harry attempted again to convince his father to rent him a home/apartment in one of the gazillion grace-and-favor properties that he possesses.
King Charles told him flat-out no, and that embarrassing request was again shared with the press. It was also leaked by King Charles’s associates that he would no longer meet with his youngest son without an appointment.
The Royal Family declined to acknowledge Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s birthdays this year. Prince William has already decided that King Charles will have a low-key birthday celebration on November 14 that will include working and senior members of the Royal Family. In other words, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not be asked to attend.
The ultimate slap for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle came in the early days of autumn when King Charles gave them new titles.
The Daily Mail confirmed that the King has decided to break his family down into four categories: senior royals, working royals, non-working royals, and others. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been put in the “others” group.
King Charles is already in the Christmas spirit, and there is no better time to bring back the runaway royals for a long embrace, right? Wrong, again.
According to multiple media outlets, King Charles and Kate Middleton have decided that there will be no circus about initial invitations and olive branches.
The walls between the two families are longer and taller than the Great Wall of China.
It is time for Prince Harry to bid adieu to his exasperated Royal Family and continue writing new and hopefully private chapters with his American relatives.
