Royals watchers were shocked by the announcement earlier this yr that an estranged Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s offspring, Archie and Lilibet, can be given the royal titles of prince and princess.
Now, one expert on the Sussex saga is speaking out — saying that King Charles, even when well-intentioned, made absolutely the fallacious decision.
Tom Bower, creator of “Revenge: Megan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors” told the Express recently that Charles’ made a “terrible mistake” by throwing the royal lifeline to his California-dwelling grandkids — saying that the move could well find yourself embarrassing and even damaging the sovereignty.
By decree, Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 2, are actually sixth and seventh in line to the British throne, despite the Duke and Duchess of Sussex making the noisiest of exits from the Firm, back in 2020.
“Harry and Meghan have undermined the monarchy,” Bower said.
“[Charles] must have cut them off immediately. He should never have allowed their children to be made a prince and princess,” he insisted.
For the reason that former actress, 42, and the Invictus Games founder, 39, made their high-profile move to the Golden State, a rift has formed between the spotlight-loving twosome and the remaining of the royal family.
Tensions have since been more heated since Harry released his bombshell 400-page memoir “Spare,” earlier this yr.
Bower also added that Harry “shouldn’t have been invited” to Charles’ coronation this past May. The military man attended the once-in-a-generation crowning sans Markle — quickly departing right after the service.
Nonetheless, despite the continuing issues, Charles, 74, is alleged to be seeking to end the feud along with his youngest son.
The monarch hopes to reconcile with Harry for “strategic” reasons, in accordance with a palace insider.
The staff member told The Each day Beast: “Ultimately Charles has not only a private but in addition a strategic have to resolve the difficulty. It’s not sustainable for the king, who’s the national symbol of unity, to be on such bad terms along with his son.”
The previous Prince of Wales’ wife, Queen Camilla, is alleged to be a vital figure in bridging the fractured and frosty relationship between the 2 men.
“The division between state and family is sacrosanct so Camilla will likely be pivotal in all this. She is the just one who will likely be able to advise him who he’ll take heed to,” the source claimed.
Harry famously labeled Camilla, 75, as his “wicked stepmother” in his book, and called her a “villain.”
