King Charles will be too busy on his Transylvanian vacation to meet with Harry

Last week, we heard that King Charles would be taking a vacation at his home in Transylvania at the beginning of June. The focus was on how Camilla will not travel with him (she’s staying at her country home in England) and how Charles loves the simple, rural pleasures of the quaint countryside he calls his home away from home. I thought the timing was weird because during QEII’s reign, June was usually a packed royal schedule of garden parties, horse races (Ascot in particular), polo matches, Trooping the Colour and usually some time wining and dining visiting foreign dignitaries. So why is Charles hobbling off to Transylvania during such a traditionally busy time for the Windsors? Well, it looks like Charles is going out of his way to avoid his ginger son.

The King will miss the Duke of Sussex’s visit to London next week as he plans to go hiking on his own in Transylvania, The Telegraph understands. Prince Harry is returning to the High Court in early June as he takes Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) to court over allegations of phone hacking.

However the King’s solo trip to Romania, planned for five days over next week, will coincide with his son’s rare appearance in the UK, meaning the pair are unlikely to see one another.

It comes after the Duke’s flying visit to England for his father’s Coronation earlier this month, where he was in such a rush to get home to California that he was still wearing his medals and morning suit when he arrived for his return flight at Heathrow Airport. It is understood that the Duke spent the night in Windsor at Frogmore Cottage but did not see his brother the Prince of Wales nor speak with his father or stepmother.

It is now understood that the King’s upcoming trip to Romania will fall next week, during which he will recuperate after his Coronation, and will see him stay in his home in rural Transylvania. The Queen will not be accompanying him on the trip, preferring instead to remain in her Wiltshire home.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry is expected to give evidence in person at the MGN trial in London early next week, which will pitch him directly against former Mirror editor Piers Morgan, who has become one of the Sussexes’ most vocal critics. Evidence in his claim is expected to take three days, including opening statements, his time in the witness box, when he will be cross-examined, and MGN’s witnesses.

[From The Telegraph]

While I’m sure there’s still time for this, I’m glad that thus far, the British papers haven’t done twenty million pieces about where Harry could possibly be staying during his stay in England. I expect that information will be guarded tightly, and I also wonder if King Charles knows where his son will be staying? I could make an argument either way. But still, it’s funny that Charles made a point of scheduling his vacation for when he KNEW Harry would be in town. Back in March, when Harry popped up in London for a court hearing, I got the distinct feeling that Charles had no idea that Harry had flown in, nor did anyone else in the family know. That’s why Charles was in such a rush to say he was “too busy” (doing nothing) to meet with Harry. Harry should keep visiting, because it’s hilarious to watch Charles make up all of these excuses for why he can’t see his younger son.

  1. I seriously doubt that at this point in Harry’s life that he gives a rats ass where his sperm donator is. Chuckles is showing his guilt by running away.

    • Flower says:

      LMAO – this comment 100%

      Charles has NEVER had a backbone so why are people expecting one to sprout all of a sudden ?

      • Jenna says:

        He truly is a coward who does not like confrontation—even when it is his own son.

        I wonder if Will has anything to do with Charles not seeing Harry because he is afraid Charles will capitulate to whatever Harry wants?

      • Tessa says:

        If Charles is so spineless he lets will control his actions it is all on charles.

      • AnnaKist says:

        Chuck is a doddery old geezer. He is on vacation. What is he going to be doing apart from sitting around or wa=ndering about talking to roots, leaves and flowers? I doubt he has an action-packed holiday planned, with skydiving, white=water rafting, helicopter rides, deep-sea, diving, bungee, jumping, abseiling… if he doesn’t want to see Harry, he doesn’t want to see Harry. Harry. hopefully, is not bothered. They should resurrect Chuck’nickname from when he was young: Fog (thick as). What a tosser.

      • BQM says:

        @annakist Fog wasn’t Charles’s nickname. It was the nickname he gave Anne’s husband mark phillips.

      • L4Frimaire says:

        Maybe if Harry visits the UK more often, he can effectively force Charles into hiding or exile in his attempt to avoid his son. What a fool and a coward. Why’s he so afraid to meet Harry?

      • SenseOfTheAbsurd says:

        Chuck had the nerve to call somebody else thick and wet? Plum calling eggplant purple.

    • Lovely says:

      So, in addition to that, since the 7th of May, the main road in Viscri (the village where he’s staying, was closed for car access, with the help of the Prince of Wales foundation. Since I can’t stand the spineless sperm donor, I’m really angry about this one! Package everything in an “environmental benefit “ way, and no one bats an eye that the bum wants no traffic in front of his house! I visited Viscri, there weren’t that many cars on main street, the busiest it got is when the cows went home. Entitled mommy’s boy much?!

      • BeanieBean says:

        You mean permanently, not just during his visits? It’s a pedestrian only road? Wow, that is some power.

    • Whyforthelovel says:

      Susan Collins spot on. The guilt must be huge. I hope it eats him alive

      • Yesgirl says:

        The most emotion I have seen from Chuck. Had he kept living his life I would think he is DONE with Harry but I now know damn he misses his favorite son. To bad he is to emotionally stunted and dealing with Willy every time he tries to reach out. Also, he keeps effing up so hard with the “eviction” and that he is “out of town” lol it is funny.

        “This is how I act when I am trying to be strong and NOT call my ex boo or ex bff. “I dont care I dont need you and you never loved me and i hate you!!!” but if you care please call me cause you can see I’m keeping a distance from how this still is making feeling a certain kinda way. Show the RR you care so we can hang out more and maybe have a tea or something I’m alone with this angry freak and Cam needs her alone time. Just text or say whats up so I dont get more s*it from the RR when I’m trying to show some humanity or kindness? It hurts my face to smile and I’m dead inside but you are way more fun then Willy. Did you see what that B*atch did that flower show ? I need a friend. XOXO Pa “

  2. s808 says:

    Right! Harry is not lifting a finger to arrange a meeting with Charles at this point.

  3. Maxine Branch says:

    Pretty sure Harry does not want to see Charles as well. Harry’s tenacity is one for the ages. Those gutter gossipers ruined his youth and he is trying to right the wrongs of that time. I wish him a safe journey in and out of his home country. After that calculated debacle in New York, the eyes of the world will be on his appearance in the UK courts.

  4. Anonymous says:

    I had no idea he had a home there.
    I thought he already visited there recently? Maybe they were just talking about an upcoming trip…

    I wonder if all there lawsuits are good for Harry. I’ve known people that were in the right but the lawsuits brought too much negative energy into their life and they regretted the time spent on them. Hopefully he’ll be aware of when to cut his losses and move on if need be.

    Camilla doesn’t stoke me as a big hiker.

    • LW says:

      Cut his losses and move on?? Yeah not today satan.

      Be gone with your anonymous a$$.

      • Nubia says:

        What a harsh response. I think its perfectly OK to be a fan and also acknowledge the tedious and expensive legal journey Harry is going through. We all are behind the mission and point of what he is trying to achieve but yes it’s also mentality, physically,financially and emotionally draining.

      • Lace says:

        Charming! We’re ALL entitled to our opinions.

      • Nlopez says:

        LW, well said. LMAO 🤣!!

    • Maxine Branch says:

      In many cases a loss is a win. The exposure alone of the shenanigans the UK gutter press put this young man through in his youth is worth the effort for him. What they did to his mother would take the entirety of this post to articulate. The UK is his home country, the place of his birth and where he was raised. I would rather be a Harry to hold others accountable than a Charles or William who caved by working with them to destroy my sibling or friends to get them on my side. For me everything is about integrity and honor and I believe these are the lens Harry is viewing his life journey. At least he will be able to sleep at night knowing he did all he could to hold these deplorable folks accountable, that to me integrity. If you look at life only through the prism of how many wins you have, you have loss what life is about, the journey and living your truth.

      • Couch Potato says:

        Well said, @Maxine! Harry isn’t doing this just for himself. He’s doing this so future generations (both royals and commoners) won’t have their lives and mental health destroyed and in the worst cases driven to suicide by the toxic rota.

      • Angie says:

        Whether he wins or loses HRH Prince Harry has more guts and courage than his father and brother combined. They are both COWARDS. There I said it. COWARDS.

    • Jaded says:

      @Anonymous — negative energy??? The negative energy is allowing the tabloid vultures to run roughshod over his life, encourage racist death threats against his wife and children, print utter garbage lies and constantly invade their privacy. There are instances when turning the other cheek is an appropriate response, but this isn’t one of them, and it’s right that he’s shining a harsh light on these monsters and their blatant cruelty and criminality.

    • Lexistential says:

      @Anonymous Of course the lawsuits are not good for Harry- it is obvious they are taxing and provoking the tabloids to greater extremes. These have even created a more dangerous and potentially sinister scenario for Harry.

      BUT, Harry taking on the tabloids with these lawsuits is doing a world of good. No one should have be beholden to press abuse, and certainly not to the extent that he has been scapegoated. The press is highly dependent on framing him over and over as its whipping boy and Harry is doing an amazing thing in challenging them to stop them. Nobody has held the tabloids to account like he has, and it has been a long time coming.

    • Saucy&Sassy says:

      Anonymous, Harry has always had to deal with negative energy. First with watching and being a part of the media/paparazzi hounding of his Mom. When the media/paparazzi in essence killed his Mom. All of the negative attention the media/paparazzi have poured on him since his Mom died. All of the negative attention the media/paparazzi have poured on him during his young adulthood. Watching as the media hounded a former girlfriend to suicide. I can go on, but the point I want to make is that before Harry was the recipient of all of the negativity because he had no control over it. Harry now has control. He wants to stop the media/paparazzi from hounding anyone else illegally–which is what they’ve done for decades. He is doing this not just himself and family, but for ALL of the people in the UK. So, yes, it takes a lot of time and energy, but I would hazard a guess that the negative energy is very, very different from what it was before.

    • Lizzie says:

      It takes guts to fight for what’s right, I guess not everyone is cut out for it.

    • Krista says:

      That’s such a valid point @Anonymous – it does take a lot of energy to fight for things (even when you are 1000% in the right), it’s draining and taxing because it MATTERS. And a lot of people do quit because of that (and I think often times, lawyers hope they can drag it out long enough to MAKE people fold in the towel).

      I feel like he’s done enough work on himself and what he wants/needs and knows his boundaries that if it ever did get too much for him started to affect his ability to be present with his family – wife/kids – that he would let it be. However, I also think he is bound and determined to right this to make an actual CHANGE in media in the UK and when you’re that passionate about something, you don’t let it go – even if it’s taking every last ounce of energy you have left to give.

  5. Jan says:

    This is so funny, spineless Chucky doing what he does best, running away from reality.

    • Whyforthelovel says:

      Chucky is really the biggest coward in Britain. Harry hasn’t just exposed the Royals..he has shown what completely pitiful people many of them are

  6. Shawna says:

    Exactly the kind of excuse-making we should expect. At least his PR is getting refined enough to realize that the optics would look bad if he didn’t try to make an excuse.

  7. Louise177 says:

    Why the assumption that Harry is dying to meet with Charles? He’s there for a trial not family. It’s annoying that everytime he’s in England people assume Harry is begging to meet with Charles and William.

    • Couch Potato says:

      They’re writing about their dream. It’s not like Chuck bothered to meet him when he lived in the UK and was a working royal, why should he now?

    • Debbie says:

      I know, right? The story is always the same when Harry is in England. Yet, nowhere in these articles does it say that Harry is anxious to see or speak to Charles, or even asked to see him. So, I think this story is also another way of sexing up a story about Charles going on vacation alone. Instead of presenting it as Charles and Camilla vacation separately, or live apart, they bring Harry into it and twist it. And talk about low-hanging fruit but a king having to “recuperate” from a coronation, which is actually a feting of oneself. My goodness, it’s not like he had to build any carriages or stands himself. What does he need to “recuperate” from?

  8. ML says:

    “…the King’s upcoming trip to Romania will fall next week, during which he will recuperate after his Coronation,…”
    Charles still needs to recuperate?!

    • Moxylady says:

      The man looks like he’s aged 20 years in the past two weeks.
      I wonder what he learned/ was told.
      Maybe that pens are sentient and are coming for him.

    • Brassy Rebel says:

      The coronation was almost a month ago. If Charles is still recuperating, he has bigger problems than trying to avoid Harry. Also, all this, “It is understood” and “It can now be revealed” stuff is a very awkward way to disguise the fact that the palace is briefing the trash media.

    • Chaine says:

      He has aged precipitously, hasn’t he? In that header photo on the main page with the sunglasses I thought at first it was Joe Biden

      • Cassie says:

        I thought it was Joe also when I first saw the photo.

        He certainly has aged lately ,

      • ThatsNotOkay says:

        It’s like, careful what you wish for. He’s wanted this role for all of his adult life. Now that he has it…it’s taken a toll.

        Like running for President. If you have any semblance of a soul, it ages you exponentially. If you don’t, well, then you’re Trump.

      • Nerd says:

        THATSNOTOKAY your comment reminds me of Wanda Sykes joke about how the presidency ages you. She talked about how Obama entered with White House with black hair and looking young and energetic. By the time his presidency was over her looked substantially older and had gray hair. She joked that the only president who didn’t age during their presidency was Trump. She said that instead of Trump aging, she was aging from the stress of not knowing what the heck he was going to do or say next.

    • Jay says:

      The coronation happened several weeks ago and we’ve barely seen Charles much since then. Why does he need a week to recuperate? And is he going to come back and then immediately take two or three months off at Balmoral?

      Not great if you are trying to fend off the “Hand the crown to William, he’s young and modern” crowd.

  9. Lizzie says:

    It’s not like Charles made time for his darling boy at any time in Harry’s young life, why would it be different now?

    • Well Wisher says:

      Excellent point.
      With his handlers in tow, the king will be available to visit with his son, whenever the tabloid owners dictate; he cannot afford to upset them nor William.
      He is most assured that he has Harry’s love.

  10. Jais says:

    Convenient.

    • Mary Pester says:

      @JAIS, yep Charles is visiting the home of the original blood suckers, while Harry is hopeing to drive a steak through the hearts of the ones in fleet street. Win or lose financially, Harry has the win for bringing it all out into the spotlight. Final point, is Charlie boy now so low that both he and William can limbo dance under other snakes 😂

      • Jais says:

        The original blood suckers😂 Charles is vacationing in his natural habitat then. And yeah 💯 Harry wins for bringing it into the spotlight. Courage v cowardice.

      • A.Pan says:

        It’s a myth! Vlad was no vampire! His father Vlad “Dracul” ruler of Wallachia, was called this way because he was part of a secret organisation, The Order of the Dragon, that defended Christianity against the Ottoman Empire. Transylvania is no home to blood suckers! I know you don’t like King Charles but please don’t offend the land and it’s people. Throughout the centuries this land was put through fire and blood, so dont talk lightly of other people’s history.

  11. Cassie says:

    Did I read correctly,Harry will be facing off with Piers Morgan in court ?

    Oh my I would love to see that.

    • Polo says:

      He’s not facing off against him. I hate when papers do this because they are trying to make it into some kind of battle where Piers is a victim. It gives Piers an excuse to make it about himself to justify his irrational behavior towards Meghan especially.

      Yes Piers had a big part in it as he was the editor of the paper but he’s not facing off against him.
      Harry is just giving his testimony on how phone hacking/stalking has affected him.
      We’ll probably hear similar to the witness statement he’s given out…how traumatic it was, how it affected his life/relationships.

      • Cassie says:

        Ok Polo ,I misunderstood it .

        I still hope Morgan is feeling a bit worried about it though.

  12. Becks1 says:

    First – I “like” how they mention Harry’s visits to the UK are “rare.” This will be his 6th visit since April 2022. That’s not really “rare.” It’s not like he’s coming once every 5 years. I’m sure it seems rare to the RRs though considering they would like him to stay and be abused by them.

    Second – lol, of course Charles is going to run and hide. He’s such a coward. I think he’s afraid that if he associates with Harry this week, the press will assume he sides with Harry in his lawsuit against MGN.

    finally, in general, I wonder what Balmoral will look like this year. Will all the royals still go?

    • Jais says:

      Lol, Charles should hold his head in shame since MGN’s defense is based on the fact that Charles’ office leaked against his son just so he could get better press. So yeah, if he was seen with Harry, it could be saying no actually it was phone tapping as opposed to leaking. How can he even look Harry in the face after all this?

      • Lady D says:

        It’s tempting to screw with Charles. Harry could announce 3 visit over the course of this year and Chuckie would have to schedule a way out of town for each and every one, only to have Harry cancel at the last minute. Petty? Yes, but a wee bit fun too.

      • Jais says:

        Omg that would definitely be a wee bit fun.

      • HamsterJam says:

        What is that saying, “It may harm your defense if you do not mention something that later you rely on in court”?

        After Spare the BM was publishing for WEEKS that THEY ARE NOT BRIEFED BY THE PALACE

        Now the BM legal defense is WE WERE BRIEFED BY THE PALACE

        I hope his lawyer sticks it to them with all their denials of being briefed by the royal family.

        You know why it was taking us so long to go to court over your gaslighting? Because you.never.stopped.gaslighting

  13. Amy Bee says:

    Charles is a coward.

  14. Elizabeth says:

    If KCIII wants to reconcile with his younger son, he has a funny way of showing it. Harry turns up in March, and KCIII is too busy to see him, but when Harry returns for the coronation, he’s hurt that he didn’t stay longer to be snubbed by his relatives; now he’s deliberately scheduled a vacation while he is in town. An intelligent PR person would tell KCIII that being the bigger person and meeting with his son would be advantageous.

    • Tessa says:

      Charles can pick up the phone and arrange to visit Harry and Meghan and the children.and fly over and actually visit.

  15. Ceej says:

    I wonder if courtiers are worried someone might try and subpoena Charles for the trial if he’s around…. I bet he knows some things that the palace don’t want coming out and the media is looking more than willing to drag them all into the gutter alongside if they think it will help win the trial

    • Ace says:

      Can he be subpoenad? Or whatever the equivalent would be for the British courts. I’m not British but live in a country with a monarchy and the monarch can’t be compeled to appear in court, so it wouldn’t surprise me if it was the same for Chucky 3.

    • Jaded says:

      One of the perqs Chuck enjoys is sovereign immunity, meaning he can’t be subpoenaed or prosecuted under a civil or criminal investigation.

  16. Noor says:

    Actually if Charles is wise it would be a perfect timing for Charles to invite Harry to join him on a hike and to have a heart to heart between father and son. No palace staff around, no family members around.

    • Tessa says:

      Harry should stay away from Charles. Charles would leak stories about the father son hike.

      • Alexandria says:

        He has shown no indication of remorse because the attacks are still there and he did not say anything even about the car chase. That hike would be for a photographer to plant himself in the bushes.

    • Jay says:

      From what we’ve seen, that would only benefit Charles. He would leak all kinds of stories about being a magnanimous and loving father, and then possibly reveal anything Harry told him. He might even view it as a way to balance the scales of power with William, who is getting too big for his britches lately. I don’t see Charles having a lot to offer to his son, just things he can take from him, unfortunately.

      Plus, Harry’s busy that week- he’s got a whole media empire to stand up to!

    • Jaded says:

      Charles is not wise, that’s the problem. He’d turn it into an opportunity to feed the tabloid maw, even if they only shook hands, had a cuppa tea and sat in silence.

  17. phlyfiremama says:

    “recuperate from his coronation” WTF does this even mean?! 😂😂😂

  18. Nubia says:

    It would be interesting if William finally came to his senses and rekindled with his brother. Making the rest look bad and seeing how they scramble with the new development .

    • Tessa says:

      Will is so self righteous he will never make amends. He needs to perhaps get counseling to deal with his anger issues

    • Tessa says:

      Kate would have to lose.her bad attitude it can’t be only will and will and Kate need to apologize to harry and Meghan

    • Jais says:

      It would be interesting since William would have to apologize for sending Jason Knauf to provide doctored evidence against Meghan in that mail court case.

    • Jaded says:

      William doesn’t have any senses to “come to”, that’s the problem. He will take his hatred and jealousy of his brother to the grave. Can you imagine getting up every morning and being that consumed with loathing? What a bitter, awful life he’s living, and his wife as well. Everything they do seems to be either an imitation of the Sussexes or a briefing to the tabloids against them, but it’s all driven by sheer, unadulterated animosity.

  19. one of the marys says:

    This article is not flattering to Charles. He shouldn’t have to recuperate from his coronation but rather be energized and invigorated. Yes it looks like he’s running away from Harry (sigh)

  20. Lili says:

    Harry be safe! we all know what happened the last time Charles went on a hike foraging for mushrooms.

  21. Hannah says:

    Maybe C3 needs to stock up on young Transylvanian blood so he can make it through his ‘unofficial’ verkakte birthday. That ridiculous thing we have in our country where the monarch inspects his troops (wearing costumes hired from film production companies) from the balcony of Buckingham Palace, otherwise known as Trooping The Colour on the 17th of June

  22. SarahCS says:

    ‘Solo trip’

    ‘Hiking on his own’

    His staff aren’t people now? He is not travelling solo by any stretch of that term.

    • Tessa says:

      He will show up with lots of staff to help and they will do the unpacking and then gourmet food was already shipped in Charles way of roughing it

      • Jaded says:

        And don’t forget his special toilet seat, bed, and a case of his special scotch.

    • MsIam says:

      I guess if Crocmilla isn’t with him then he’s “alone”.

    • Eurydice says:

      They’re not people, they’re wallpaper.

    • Lizzie says:

      Does KC have a new mistress? I think both KC and PW get away with mistresses a lot. A leopard doesn’t change his spots.

  23. ales says:

    Still recovering three weeks after the coronation, his stamina must be very low. Just maybe he has been taking lessons from W & K. He is now going to have a minimum of four holidays per year and if he decides to copy their standard workload ,he will actually be on holidays for 48 out of 52 weeks every year. Dont feel he will want an open credit card to relentelssly buy new outfits for every appearance he makes. Having toddler tantrums wont win any new followers so he will have to hide those. It is possible Harry does not want to see him and no one really knows what goes on behind closed doors. The BRF seem to be imploding and nothing is stopping it,

    • BeanieBean says:

      He should take up swimming to build up his stamina. I understand the pool at BP will be ‘fast’, as it’ll be kept kinda chilly. 😉

  24. Mel says:

    I don’t think Harry cares where his Father is, I don’t think he was planning on dropping by for a cuppa.

  25. B says:

    Christ! What a trash father.

  26. Julianna says:

    I did not know Charles also has a home there too! They have homes everywhere apparently. And I highly doubt Harry expects to see his sperm donor. And I agree with the comments above. Regardless, if Harry wins or loses this case, it is still a WIN. At least, he is bringing to light these rabid clowns and their behavior. For everything they did to his mother and his family. William will never even be able to be pretend to be half the man Harry is. William is absolutely a disgusting human being for making them his friends by trying to destroy his own brother through them after everything they did to his mother… I just can’t even fathom or even begin to understand how he developed into such a deplorable person. But then when I think I can’t figure it out, I remember who is father is and how much alike he is to him – that and combined with being told how important you are because you were born first.

    • HamsterJam says:

      William is trash for issuing a public statement saying his that mother was paranoid AFTER receiving a large payment to not sue the BM for doing to him what they did to her.

  27. tamsin says:

    It would seem clear to anyone with even an ounce of awareness that Charles is “hiding” from Harry. . His behaviour does not make him look powerful set to punish Harry, but cowardly. He is such a pathetic character

  28. Coconut says:

    Wouldn’t KC3’s trip to Romania have been scheduled months ago, prior to Haz’s court dates?

    • BQM says:

      Most likely, yes. I think the assumption, for some, is he could cancel it if he really wanted to meet Harry. He could still recuperate at highgrove.

  29. 1darkdove says:

    Maybe KC3 can hook up with Andrew Tate. Tate has dual British/American citizenship so he might be help him get a pardon from the Romanian government.

  30. HeyKay says:

    Why does Team Charles keep showing his arse like this?
    Shut Up.
    We all know how terrible a father are, many times over.

    No one cares to keep hearing this bull.

  31. Rnot says:

    Brave King Charles ran away.
    Bravely ran away away.
    When Harry raised his ginger head,
    He bravely turned his tail and fled.
    Yes, brave King Charles turned about
    And gallantly he chickened out.
    Swiftly taking to his feet,
    He beat a very brave retreat.
    Bravest of the brave, King Charles!

  32. Leslie says:

    Saying that the King needs to “recuperate” after his coronation says it all: he is too frail and elderly to undertake the kingship and should abdicate. Unfortunately, he won’t do this because he probably feels that the heir to the throne, the Prince of Wails, is singularly unfit to rule.

    • HamsterJam says:

      The only thing he “rules” over is large bags of unmarked cash and making sure that any new laws created are favorable to him and his estate.

      He is in no way more or less fit to “rule” than William

    Charles keeps racking up those Father of the Year awards.

    He should just say, “I am always too busy to see my darling boy Harry and always will be.” The end.

  35. Saucy&Sassy says:

    As far as I could find, exactly when Harry will be testifying has not been said. Why is everyone assuming it’s next week? Is Harry suing alone on this case? If so, I can see where they would make the assumption he would testify next week, but if not then who knows what order the witnesses will be presented.

    If Harry is testifying next week, I wonder if KFC is pretending he’s an ostrich. If he can’t see you, then you can’t see him. I think he’s afraid of what might come out over this lawsuit. Harry’s going to find out that 1) yes, the media was phone hacking, and 2) yes, on some of these we got the information from this royal family members. KFC is hiding from the fallout. I wonder if any of this could be laid at Camilla’s door? This is going to be very interesting.

  36. j.ferber says:

    What’s he DOING in Transylvania? Trying to avoid Harry? Charles is a strange, strange (wicked) bird.

  37. HeyKay says:

    It is 90 w/humidity today. I am online w/AC.
    Charles spent years saying how his parents were away, too busy, cold, etc.

    So he not only treats Harry terribly his entire life but now that H has made his own life and family, Charles is still awful to him.
    KC what a weak, lousy, selfish man.

    Harry has it in him to still want to reconcile w/C & W.
    Those 2 fools are wasting time.

  38. MsGnomer says:

    I am curious why a British monarch would purchase property in a former Soviet bloc nation. Transylvania is stunning countryside, but how weird.

    • BQM says:

      Queen Mary, his great grandmother, was descended from the ancient kings of the region. Her grandmother, countess Claudine Rhedey, was born in the area. Charles has always shown an interest in family heritage on both sides. Plus he’s very close to princess Margarita of Romania, eldest child of the last king, Michael who was Philip’s cousin and contemporary. (Michael was actually deposed by the communists while attending Philip’s wedding.)

  39. j.ferber says:

    They should make a movie about Michael being deposed while attending Philip’s wedding. I’d watch it.

    Is it possible, just possible that Charles and Harry may meet up in Romania – hence the reason for the road closure????? Gotta look on the bright side….
