Royal Family LIVE: Harry slammed as ‘toxic influence’ after King snub | Royal | News

Published by skeptic

Prince Harry has been branded a “toxic influence” by one journalist after King Charles failed to reunite with his son during his stint in London. The Duke of Sussex flew into the UK earlier this week to attend the Invictus Games 10th anniversary service at St Paul’s Cathedral, and he had hoped to be able to see his father while they were in the same city. But a spokesperson for Harry later confirmed that the King’s packed schedule had made this impossible, with many speculating that His Majesty had chosen to avoid meeting his son. Speaking on GB News on Wednesday night, Lowri Turner described the King’s decision as being a “megaphone in a quietly elegant way to say ‘you’re not welcome’.” She said: “Nothing concentrates the mind like being diagnosed with cancer, and maybe he’s taken a leaf out of Harry’s Californian book and thought about, ‘I don’t need toxic influences in my life at the moment’. “Harry’s a bit of a toxic influence, certainly Camilla probably thinks so.” THIS IS A LIVE BLOG.

Prince Harry’s relationship with Charles and William ‘terminally damaged’ | Royal | News

Published by skeptic

Prince Harry’s relationship with King Charles and Prince William is “terminally damaged” as “the boot is on the other foot”. The Duke of Sussex is in the UK this week to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. He is set to give a speech at St Paul’s Cathedral during a thanksgiving service. And despite speculation, a family reunion is not on the cards for this visit. A spokesperson for the Prince said he would not be seeing his father, King Charles. A statement from Harry’s team read: “It unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full programme. The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.” Buckingham Palace is not commenting on the duke’s visit, according to the BBC, and no senior royals are attending the St Paul’s service. But royal expert Jennie Bond told OK! That, from the lack of a visit, “we can deduce that (Harry’s relationship with his family) is terminally damaged”. Jennie said: “In …

King Charles could “easily” have found time to see Prince Harry during his visit to London as his son asked him for a meeting weeks ago, according to a source. Today, May 8, the Duke of Sussex will attend a special commemorative service at St Paul’s Cathedral to mark 10 years since the first Invictus Games. At the same time the King will be attending a garden party at Buckingham Palace, although initial reports suggested he would do his best to reunite with Harry as possible. However yesterday a spokesperson for the Duke stated: “It unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full programme. The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.” Royal historian and friend of the Firm Hugo Vickers told Page Six: “If the King wanted to see Harry, he would find time very easily. You can never be too busy to see your son. A senior royal source told Page Six about their reunion: “We don’t …

A body language expert has explained Prince Harry’s feelings of “isolation” as it was revealed that he will not be reunited with King Charles while in London, and possibly not Prince William either. The Duke of Sussex is expected to be over in the UK for two or three days, attending a service at St Paul’s Cathedral to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games later today. On Tuesday, after his plane from Los Angeles touched down, Harry attended the Invictus Games Foundation Conversation summit, however Judi James told The Mirror that his body language was not altogether happy and that he may miss his wife Meghan Markle, who chose not to accompany him. She said: “This is a confident, splayed-leg, knee-bent walk from Harry who, with his chin raised and an eye-smile that suggests some delight at all the royal-looking fuss here, appears more than happy to enjoy a reception that involves some sort of a military parade for him to inspect as well as a warm, bicep-grabbing man hug reception from his …

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘ruined’ King Charles’s first year | Royal | News

Published by skeptic

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been accused of “ruining” King Charles’s first year as monarch, as the 75-year-old quietly marks the one year anniversary of his coronation. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been savaged by royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, who claims that they have launched “unfair” attacks on the Firm – despite continuing to “cash in” on their royal affiliations and connections. It’s been an unprecedented year for the Royal Family – with Princess Kate and King Charles announcing their cancer battles while Prince William also stepped back from royal duties to care for his wife and three children. But things have been made even harder thanks to the Sussexes’ retaliation, Mr Fitzwilliam claims, as even though they are thousands of miles away in Montecito, California, they are stilll managing to affect King Charles’s reign after the publication of Harry’s controversial tell-all memoir Spare among other things. He told The Sun: “The facts simply are with Harry and Megan that after Spare enough was enough, so he had them evicted from Frogmore …

King Charles is marking a year since his Coronation (Image: Getty) No one in history waited longer to ascend the throne than King Charles, and it can’t have been easy to follow someone who was so loved and respected across the globe. And then just as he was finding his feet and showcasing his priorities as King, Charles was given the news no one ever wants to hear: you have cancer. His shock diagnosis at the start of the year attempted to derail his reign and the causes he had sought to champion: the environment, food wastage and the importance of communities. But the hardworking royal, known for his workaholic nature and love of meeting the public, has been determined to get back to business and fight what he once called this “beastly disease”. This has become every more important to him following his beloved daughter in law’s diagnosis shortly after his own.

King Charles’s nine-word complaint as he arrived for Coronation | Royal | News

Published by skeptic

King Charles apparently had just one complaint upon his arrival at Westminster Abbey for his Coronation on May 6 last year, which saw thousands take to the streets in celebration of the historic event. The King arrived for the ceremony in his Diamond Jubilee State Coach but appeared rather agitated, despite waiting many decades for his turn to be crowned. His nine-word complaint was caught on camera as he sat and waited to be allowed to enter the Abbey, with a lip reader claiming he was concerned about being on time. The expert said that His Majesty was moaning to his wife Queen Camilla about running behind schedule, as he said: “We can never be on time, there’s always something…” In fact it was Prince William and Princess Kate, accompanied by their two younger children Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, who were running a little late and the King and Queen had to wait for them. He said: “I, William, Prince of Wales, pledge my loyalty to you and faith and truth I will bear …

King Charles has revealed his mindset as he battles cancer in heartfelt letters to friends. The King is a famously avid letter writer – and this long held habit hasn’t stopped during his health challenge.

A friend of the King said: “I hear determination that he doesn’t want to let it slow him down, a pragmatic acceptance of the changes that have had to be made to his programme, and an absolute desire to get back to full speed,” reports The Times today, Saturday, May 4.

Prince Harry is expected to reunite with his father King Charles in London next week – when the pair have scheduled events just two miles apart. The Duke of Sussex will attend an Invictus Games 10th anniversary celebration at St Paul’s Cathedral, and plans to meet Charles on the same day – but Prince William is not likely to be part of any reunion. They last saw each other in person back in February, when Prince Harry flew to be by the monarch’s side just days after his shock cancer diagnosis. King Charles, 75, will likely be at the first Buckingham Palace garden party of the year next Wednesday, May 8 – and the event will finish around the same time as his youngest son’s Invictus Games event. A royal source told The Sun: “Harry is normally 5,000 miles away in California but by happy coincidence on Wednesday they will be just two miles apart. It’s clear he is keen to see his father as he continues his recovery and most people expect another reunion …
