King Charles didn’t invite the Sussex kids to the coronation or any ‘fringe events’

You know it’s bad when even the “royalist” commentators are calling out King Charles for being full of it. Following the announcement that the Duchess of Sussex, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet would stay in Montecito for the coronation, Buckingham Palace has been doing the most to emphasize how Charles is “pleased” at that at least Harry would come, but Charles is terribly disappointed that he won’t get to see his grandchildren. For weeks, the palace has emphasized that Archie and Lilibet were not invited to the Chubbly, nor were they welcome. They also openly briefed that Meghan’s presence – Charles’s daughter-in-law and mother to his grandchildren – would only be barely tolerated. Charles hung the “Whites Only” sign outside of Westminster Abbey, so he doesn’t get to act like the victim. Which has led to some interesting call-outs, like this one at the Daily Beast:

Amid the wave of relief that swept Buckingham Palace on Wednesday as it was finally announced that Prince Harry would attend the coronation of King Charles, insiders told The Daily Beast that the king was “saddened by the estrangement” from his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, who, along with their mother, Meghan Markle, will not be there.

“The whole thing with Harry is just desperately sad,” a friend of King Charles told The Daily Beast. “And [Charles] is also very saddened by the estrangement from the children. But at least Harry attending the coronation is a chink of light. The door has not been totally slammed shut.”

The friend said, however, that Charles is not given to self-pity (students of his interviews, speeches and his portrayal on The Crown and in a multiplicity of other books and memoirs may beg to differ) and is not “wallowing” in the grief of the breakdown of the relationship with Harry. “He is the king. He has plenty to occupy him,” said the friend.

Although Charles met Archie, 3 several times when the Sussexes were still living in the U.K., he is believed to have only met Lilibet, 1, once, when Harry and Meghan came en famille to England for the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee. The “very emotional” first meeting left Charles “absolutely thrilled” the BBC reported at the time, citing a royal source.

Speaking to friends of the king, you get the impression there is little doubt that in a perfect world he would like to be a part of Archie and Lilibet’s life. Of course, one way Charles might have got his American grandkids to attend the coronation would have been to offer them a role in proceedings. Lilibet might be too young to be included, but Archie, who turns 4 on the day, could easily have been given a symbolic task alongside William and Kate’s children, and Camilla’s grandchildren, who have all been given roles.

Incredibly, however, The Daily Beast understands that the Sussex children were not invited to attend even fringe family events, let alone the coronation itself. Supporters of Charles argue that to offer the Sussexes a role would have been to risk the family drama overshadowing the solemn celebration of the day.

But critics of the king might well respond that if he really wanted to see more of his grandchildren, he maybe shouldn’t have evicted their parents from their British holiday home, Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor Estate.

There is no doubt that obliging the Sussexes to vacate that house has not only made them feel very unwelcome, but has also made it considerably harder on a practical level for the family to plan to spend any time in the U.K. Indeed, most observers now believe that sightings of Meghan and her children on British soil over the next decade will be somewhere between few and none, and there is little prospect of Charles dropping in on Harry and Meghan in their Montecito home either.

[From The Daily Beast]

Exactly. For all of King Charles’s self-pitying briefs about how he longs to see Archie and Lilibet, he didn’t invite them whatsoever. Invitations were not extended to the children, Charles never made a point of saying he wanted his entire family there, including all of his grandchildren. Instead, he basically argued that if both Harry and Meghan came with the children, they should leave the kids at Frogmore (on Archie’s birthday) while they attended his coronation. He even tied the coronation invitation to the Frogmore Cottage eviction, saying that they should come for the coronation, spend one last time in Frogmore and use that time to move out of the home for which they paid over $3 million in renovations and rent. Charles is absolutely evil. Diana would be so disgusted with how he’s treated Harry and Harry’s children.

  1. Wait first he will miss his grand children now it’s they weren’t even invited? This is just the same crap different day insert whom ever into the article. Chuckles is a very poor excuse for a father a king and a human being.

    • Josephine says:

      He didn’t care about his kids and it’s super doubtful he cares about the grandchildren, especially the black ones. It appears he only cares about being a tampon for his side piece and anything associated with her. Weak, foolish man who’s never had a job and has been allowed to be a child his entire life. For all the ridiculous hype over the late queen it’s clear that she and her husband raised selfish man-children who never give a thought about other people.

      • Brassy Rebel says:

        Yes, they did raise selfish man-children, but, to be fair, the whole royal institution results in selfish man-children almost 💯 of the time. That’s why Harry is so unique among them. But then, Harry was always treated like garbage and was mostly under the influence of Diana. And, yes, in a way it’s lucky she is not here to see Charles treat Harry and his family like 🐕💩. I hope she is somewhere planning karma for Charles on his big day.

      • April Crusco says:

        Amen, Josephine.

      • Tina says:

        Charles is a f***ing piece of shit.

      • Cara says:

        He certainly is the king of a$$holes.

    • Princessk says:

      I think William said NO.
      Charles is afraid of William, who does not want the Sussexes and their children anywhere near other members of the RF because him and Katie and their gets will be overshadowed.
      I don’t believe for one minute that Harry will be cold shouldered by other family members, he and his family would be welcomed and so William is making sure that is not going to happen.

      • Betsy says:

        Not an unlikely theory. Charles has been so bad at kinging that I’ve forgotten that my person theory is that William has been *the* source of drama in the William – Harry – Charles trio (with Camilla just being flat out wicked and the outsider who brings the drama). Charles, if I remember many biographies of him, is a weak man. He’s smart enough but he’s easily led, easily scared and doesn’t have any natural leadership. Enter Billy Basher.

      • May Bench says:

        If I were King, I’d welcome Harry, Meghan and their two sweet kids. When my kids have called me on my behavior (which doesn’t happen very often), I pay attention, look at myself, and admit I made a mistake. Then I apologize and we all get on with it. I just treat my kids as I would want to be treated. Chuck has a defective heart and soul and can’t do this. He’s like Trump. Camilla also is very defective. A decent women would never have interfered in another woman’s marriage. It goes against the code of womanhood. As for Baldy, he’s nuts and hitting Harry showed how dangerous he is. When Harry and Meghan went on their tours, people showed how much they loved them. Baldy and Skinny don’t get that same reaction. They don’t have the magic the Queen and Harry have. Just my opinion. Meghan and Harry would bring so much back to the Royal House if they hadn’t been kicked out and mistreated. They’re naturals unlike Chuck, Cammy, Baldy and Skinny.

      • Couch Potato says:

        Spot on PrincessK! Thr family drama they talk about wouldn’t be caused by the Sussexes ot their children, if they were invited/involved. It would’ve been Willnot and Keen screaming and stumping their foots like spoiled little toddlers.

    • Georgia Walker says:

      You got that right. Charles is a disgrace to the human race, I’m glad Meghan refused to attend Charles and Hoemilla’s con-a nation clown show. As far as Meghan not wanting to bow to Willy, stick momma, or hoemilla, Meghan is American, and we only bow to JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH the real Royal Family and not some mediocre racist white people playing dress up. The only reason Hoemilla is inviting her family is this con a nation is the wedding she never receive when she married sausage fingers.

    • Isabella says:

      Amazing he can’t say he misses the children’s mother, his son’s wife. He made Meghan unwelcome at the queen’s deathbed, last time she was in his vicinity. Good luck in repairing that relationship. Or in seeing the kids while continuing to shun the mother. He acts like Harry is divorced from Meghan and he can see the kids without seeing her. That is not how a family works.

    • May Bench says:

      Charles is disgusting and so is Kate. She said if Meghan came, she’d make sure she would be seated in the back. That’s what racists used to do the black people on the bus. Make them sit in the back. With the exception of H and M, this royal family is really messed up, racist and sexist. Plus, all the adultery and mistreatment of Diana won’t ever be forgotten.

  2. Peachy says:

    The fact that some people are fooled by this nonsense of Chucky being “disappointed” is insane to me. He’s a racist old geezer and this is not a good look for his supposedly modern monarchy.

    • Robert Phillips says:

      But don’t you get it. The people still behind the monarchy are racist. And their worried that if the monarchy crumbles then people of different colors will start taking over everything. Just like in the U.S. with Trumps supporters.

      • CooCoo Catchoo says:

        Yep. And his daughter-in-law and her children, all people of color, are living, breathing reminders of the colonialism that built the British empire and its wealth. The Windsors would rather try to sweep that under the rug in hope that the world will just forget about it.

  3. Pinkosaurus says:

    The press is getting mad they won’t get fresh pictures of Meghan and the kids. Camzilla is going to have trouble wrangling reporters who are not already owned or working for the Daily Fail to keep them from complaining about her campaign to alienate Chuck’s kids and elevate her own. No one is asking for pictures of her family no matter how many times she tries to push the story that they are saviors and replacements.

    • Kimmee says:

      The british media knows this is the middle of the end. The fail actually had pictures of a down on her luck woman giving birth on a sidewalk on the front page. The pictures was barely blurred out.

      They are a desperate newspaper and megan made them a lot of money. That’s gone. Most of their reporting is people saying extreme things with little proof.

      They are know trying to give megan leeway so they can have a story to tell. I think it’s over. They went to tough and tried to incite violence.

    • Lemons says:

      I think they are starting to realize that pictures of the KKKing Charles and his “family” aren’t going to go down in the history books. Probably why they brought up the wedding photo of Charles walking Meghan down the aisle…the one moment we thought “Good King Charles.”

      Now they’re going to get a ton of photos of Camilla and her ugly brood, the Wales’ and the children we already see to much of…and more old people. The Sussexes were the main attraction. Imagine seeing Archie…a mixed-race grandchild of Charles, at his coronation? It would have changed the whole narrative! The photos would have sold for $1000s….and now they know…instead, no one is going to be breaking the bank to see these two old people we don’t like being crowned.

      Someone’s financial analyst brought them back to reality.

      • May Bench says:

        You’re so right about this. If Charles had embraced Harry, Meghan, and their two sweeties, he would have gotten much more respect than he currently has. Don’t believe the polls or lies Rupert Murdoch prints in his crappy daily papers. Murdoch is responsible for a lot of the hate and lies aimed toward H and M.

      • Pat Gaddess says:

        The famous photo of Harry and Meghan in the rain with the umbrella has earned the photographer over a million dollars and he is still earning money from it The photographers aren’t stupid They know who is the money shot

  4. ML says:

    I’m surprised that Tom Sykes wrote this. Normally he reserves his shade for other family members and is not vaguely Sussex-friendly.

    • NotTheOne says:

      I was VERY surprised. Tom Sykes seems well sourced but often backs up his stories or “gossip” with stories from the DM, Sun, etc. He is usually Sussex-shady. I wrote the editor and stopped paying my subscription because of how bad it was.

      • Brassy Rebel says:

        I think the tide is turning ever so slowly, not necessarily pro-Sussex but anti-Windsor. It’s inevitable that the tabs will turn on them at some point.

      • RubyQ says:

        I did the same!

    • Amy Bee says:

      It’s obvious for all to see. He’s just the only one willing to say it.

    • Becks1 says:

      I don’t think Tom Sykes really likes any of the royals, H&M are just the easiest targets.

      This doesn’t even require any insider knowledge. If Charles was that desperate to see h&M, he would make it easier for them to come to the UK, not harder. If he wanted to see Archie and Lili that badly, he would have offered something at the coronation to included them (no, maybe not at the ceremony itself, but maybe in the procession or a balcony appearance or something. H&M might have said no, but at least Charles could then say he tried.)

      Its clear as day he doesn’t care about those kids because there are things he could do but does not.

    • Janice Hill says:

      Same here. Could it be that someone at the Daily Beast has told him he is writing for a liberal American audience? I have never understood why they hired him in the first place.

    • JanetDR says:

      It is good to see someone pointing out that the emperor has no clothes regardless of the reason!

  5. equality says:

    He didn’t have to invite A&L to be part of the public ceremony. He could make it clear publicly that he wants them to be in the UK to be part of private photos to commemorate the occasion. QE would do photos with all her grands/great-grands on certain occasions. I doubt he cares about A&L. He hasn’t gone out of his way to indicate any interest or caring.

    • Well Wisher says:

      In the meanwhile, the former mistress a commoner, grandchildren have a prominent role to play to the exclusion of Archie and Lili’s father.
      Another unnecessary leak that has backfired.

    • SURE says:

      A&L not being in any official conAnation photos with KFC will taint the history of his reign.

  6. Tessa says:

    Charles is a monster and a phony. He could have flown over to visit his grandchildren I think his favorites are George and Camilla grandchildren. Louis and Charlotte need to have low expectations of grandpa Wales

  7. Kokiri says:

    This is why I will never understand why Harry is attending.
    I know he’s a monarchist. His issues are with the press & the silent contract, not the monarchy proper. He’s good with it, the grifting & the idea his bloodline is superior. It’s fine, whatever Harry.
    But the disrespect towards his own children? Missing his child’s birthday ? For what, exactly?
    His wife was driven to suicidal thoughts, she was treated horribly at the funeral, yet off he goes.
    Don’t @ me, I know it’s not my business & their marriage is their own. I can still judge him & I find him lacking as a person. He married way WAY up, I hope he remembers that soon.

    • equality says:

      And KC is still his only living parent, as well as CIC of the military that PH respects.

      • Tessa says:

        That is all well and good but harry is now a husband and father and heave knows harry really tried with his father.

      • equality says:

        Plenty of people are husbands and fathers and still maintain a relationship with birth family, terrible or not.

    • Naomi says:

      Thanks Kokiri, you’ve expressed my thoughts on this exactly, the complete disrespect Harry is showing his wife and children for people who preferred they didn’t exist is staggering.

      • Bee says:

        Are we still on with this nonsense? He is 5th in the line of succession. This is a one day work trip. The date was chosen for exactly the narrative you’re pushing.

      • Jaded says:

        Give this silliness a break. He’s showing up more to respect his country and military. He’ll be in and out in one day, done and dusted, as is his duty as 5th in line to the throne and son of the reigning monarch. In no way is he disrespecting his wife and children — you seem to be forgetting in your teeth-gnashing ire that Meghan and Harry are very much a team, and as such make all important decisions together. I have no doubt that Meghan is supporting this fully.

      • TeamMeg says:

        What @Bee and @Jaded said. +💯

      • lucy2 says:

        I very much think this is a decision he and Meghan made TOGETHER. If she felt it was disrespectful of him to attend, you know he wouldn’t be going. They’re a team, they decide this stuff as a team, and I’m guessing he’s back home within 24 hours.

        Personally I wish he’d just cut them all off completely, I think he’s just setting himself up for more abuse, but I’m sure he and Meghan talked it through thoroughly.

      • AnneL says:

        I imagine Meghan is more than strong enough to handle her husband attending a one-day family event without her. She knows Harry is by her side and in her corner no matter what. His father is going to be crowned King of England. He’s still in the line of succession and a Counselor of State. Family and work go hand in hand with the Windsors. It’s complicated and she has enough emotional intelligence to understand that.

      • TheVolvesSeidr says:

        It’s very strange that you see disrespect in a relationship between two people that you will never even meet. You’re not privy to their conversations. Either you are for Harry AND Meghan or you aren’t, imo. Just weird.

    • MB says:

      For all that I find Harry to be personally charming and I think he has tried to be a good person and live a meaningful life (ie Invictus, etc), he is also clearly a monarchist who believes in his children’s “birthright” (barf). He thought it was a perfectly normal thing to expect his American girlfriend to curtesy to the Queen of England—we fought a war over that crap! I think he has turned out surprising well given his background and family, and I do think much of that is due to his thoughtful choices and effort, and I also think The Monarchy and The Crown are huge blind spots for him.

      • Brassy Rebel says:

        There must be times when the inner conflict between his values and his strong belief in the monarchy tears him apart. I hope he is still in regular contact with a therapist who can help him with this. It must be incredibly painful and super stressful.

      • equality says:

        Meghan is an entire grown person. She curtsied to QE out of respect. She and PH apparently were on good terms with QE. Whether she would curtsy to any of the rest of them would be open for debate. Obviously, she didn’t bow down to W&K and they were resentful of that.

      • teecee says:

        @equality I don’t think it was respect for her as queen, just as grandmother to the guy she was dating. She was in a foreign environment and followed cultural norms, that’s it.

      • equality says:

        She also curtsied at QE’s funeral.

    • Jasper says:

      I believe he’s just treating this as a necessary work event. He’s not even staying for anything other than the coronation itself. This may be the result of weeks of careful negotiations because as someone mentioned in another thread, him not coming may negatively affect perceptions of the judge, no matter how unbiased, in the upcoming court case.

      Also, there’s still the wrangling over RAVEC. Harry most likely let his father know that in no way was he going to subject Meghan and his family to that danger and the best they were going to get was him. Alone. And certain security measures had to have been taken for this to happen.

      Harry is very strategic and despite how much he loves his father and brother, it’s clear he won’t play with the security of his wife and children. And if he has to suck it up for a few hours to gain some concessions, so be it.

      Well, that’s my theory at least.

      • Mary says:

        @kokiri, 💯💯💯💯💯

      • Jaded says:

        @Mary — it appears you responded to @Jasper with your 100%s. Is it merely a mistake or have you seen the light and are agreeing with Jasper’s intelligent and well thought-out take on this issue?

      • Mary says:

        @jaded, “seen the light”? What a bizarre, and pi*sy, statement to make when we are all here opining on an issue. As though you raise your stand on an issue to the level of a religious revelation. 🤪

        I put my response at the end of this particular thread as they derived from kokiri’s initial statement. I think my @ made it very clear, I STAND WITH KOKIRI!! 😂😂👏👍💯

      • Jaded says:

        @Mary — not at all bizarre and pissy. You can stand with Kokiri all you like, but 1) Harry is not a “grifter”, and 2) he doesn’t think his bloodline is superior — what is superior is his work ethic, his support of the military and defense of his country, and his love for his wife and children. You’re way off base and my stand is one of intelligent analysis, as is Jasper’s, not religious revelation. Calm your teets.

      • Agreateckoning says:

        +++@Jasper.

        Outside of a number of takeaways from SPARE, Meghan and their children are #1 to him. He didn’t make this decision alone. There are reasons this decision was made. Reasons we are not privvy to or may not understand. I didn’t want them to go at all. When it was announced he was going and Meghan & A&L not, I felt H&M made a collective decision and neither owes me or the BM an explanation. Different things seem to be at play and I understand how that works.

        Healthy couples dealing with toxic relatives navigate these things all the time. Succesfully or Sussexfully. I love this tweet from So This Is Our World Now
        https://twitter.com/MGueneviere23/status/1646795519824478214?cxt=HHwWjIC-jZvzy9otAAAA

        Charles & the BM are a$$hats. Ingrid Cword is still in her cauldron of stupid stories about Archie missing out on his grandfather’s horse, carriages and armies. Don’t get me going on Tominey, who does get everything wrong.

    • Robert Phillips says:

      I don’t think Harry is going for his father. He is going for his country. Regardless of how Charles and William have treated him. Harry is proud of England. And is capable of seperating his family from the monarchy. That’s the problem Charles and William have. They can’t seperate family and royal roles. They are the same pretentious aholes in private as they are in public.

    • Heyhey22 says:

      I find you judging Harry a sign of you lacking Kokiri and Mary so there

    • Saucy&Sassy says:

      Kokiri, so we’re back to this. Okay. I guess we should probably let Meghan decide if it’s disrespectful, don’t you. Since Harry and Meghan have made it very clear that they make decisions together, I’m sure that she does not feel that Harry is being disrespectful. People forget how important veterans and Invictus is. KFC will be the Command in Chief of the military in the UK. I suspect that has quite a bit to do with Harry going. He also know that being 5th in line is something that should be taken into consideration. The man will be that regardless of anything that does or does not happen with titles. His father is the King. That’s just a fact and one that Harry is well aware of.

      I’m puzzled why anyone would think there’s disrespect here.

      • Jaded says:

        Great comment @Saucy&Sassy. Harry has his priorities straight and has come out of this confident in the knowledge that he and Meghan have made the right, and most respectful decision for everyone concerned, not just KFC.

    • Angie says:

      Why do this to his own family. Don’t how they treat his family mean anything to him ? His father is deliberately excluding his children and off he goes. The disrespect to her is off the chart.

      • Christine says:

        You apparently live in a world where married partners don’t make all of their big decisions together. Harry and Meghan don’t.

      • Agreatrekoning says:

        And @Lace, what viable info are you basing including Netflix into the conversation on. LOFL. Funny shite. The Invictus Games haven’t been successful because Harry was born a royal. That he was born a royal did help, in the initial years, bring attention to the Invictus Games. Initial being the operative word. Harry’s dedication, enthusiasm, support, love and the list goes on, for the IG’s, is what made it to the fore front. Not, withstanding the universal appeal of veterans around the world that love the Invictus Games. The conanation has nothing to do with Netflix. Netflix has their own thing going with the monarchy. It’s called “The Crown.”. Look it up.

        Lolling, you ARE suggesting that if Harry doesn’t go to the Clowning, people will magically forget that he’s a born prince. Maybe as an American I have a different point of view. No fucks to give about Charles having a crown placed on his dumbassed head. I have Derby parties to think about. I’ll be honest, I wouldn’t mind Harry giving after interviews.

    • Tessa says:

      It can mean something. Charles was wrong to schedule this on his younget grandsons birthday he would not have dated to schedule it on a wales childs birthday.

    • Beverley says:

      The intent of Prince Archie’s birthday being chosen as the #ApartheidCoronation was to hopefully discourage Meghan from attending, effectively excluding the non-white royals. Also, I will always believe that this date was chosen to erase Archie’s birthday. May 6 will be forever remembered as Dogshit Charlie’s Big Day.

      Using a toddler like this – in a deliberate attempt to diminish him while elevating Charles – is a pitiful display of petty jealousy. How lame and trite for a grown man to do this to any child, much less his grandson. But you best believe that the lily-white Wales kids would never be disregarded like this. And we all know why.

      #RacismIsOneHellOfADrug

  8. C-Shell says:

    CIII has absolutely not one redeeming human quality. WTF did he expect Harry and Meghan to decide?! He CHOSE HRH Prince Archie’s birthday deliberately for his Clowning, stripped them of their only secure residence, insisted they abandon their children to bow and scrape from the cheap seats in Iceland and then didn’t even propose a celebratory family photo with his grandchildren that would make him look like a doting grandfather (he never has been, never will be)??!! Vile, vile cretin.

    • Tessa says:

      Harry please don’t stay for family photos and keep Kate away after her unspeakable behavior to your wife.

  9. PrincessOfWaffles says:

    Charles is proving he has lived in a selfish bubble all his life. He fathered children but has no idea what a loving father, family man is. It is impossible to me that a man who doesn’t know how to love wife, children and family would be the top man in loving his country.

  10. Mslove says:

    The king has snubbed the sussex grandchildren, because he doesn’t want to be overshadowed by them. Got it.

    • kirk says:

      Succinct summation Mslove.

    • AnneL says:

      This in a nutshell.

    • Agreatrekoning says:

      I concur. Two toddlers would generate more interest than a crowned King. Worst scenario ever for an insecure person like Charles.

      It’s not like Louis’ antics. that’s to be expected. A&L would absolutely be the focus of everything, along with their beautiful mother. The BM are not helping their cases in the ongoing lawsuits. The world is watching. Whatever happens, globally, countries will and have seen the sickness that runs throughout the BRF/BM

      Love this parody. If you haven’t seen it. The subliminal thing is against the BM/royalists. Spot f*ckin’ on. “I want a Schrodinger’s Markle”. (dying, this really is a compilation of Levin, Wootton, Morgant, etal greatest”hits”.

  11. Snuffles says:

    Glad they are admitting that it’s Charles that’s making it extremely difficult for the Sussex’s to visit the UK by taking away the one safe haven they had in the UK. Can’t blame Meghan for this. It must have killed him to acknowledge that.

  12. Serena says:

    This line had me cackling like a mad woman “students of his interviews, speeches and his portrayal on The Crown and in a multiplicity of other books and memoirs may beg to differ”, yes everyone knows Chuck loves to throw himself big pity parties and is the king of all things petty.

    • kirk says:

      Yes. That line should be taken as proof positive that
      “friend of Charles” = Charles.

  13. Caseysmom says:

    I’m starting to wonder if there’s some significant inheritance from the Queen tied to Harry’s attendance at his father’s coronation. Yes, he has contracts with Netflix, respect for the monarchy and military, but have you all nor considered that the Queen arranged this prior to her death and this was her last act of trying to bring the family together/manipulate Harry due to their close relationships?

    We’ll never know exactly why he’s going. I would encourage you to criticize a bit less and think about how Harry and Meghan have worked to secure their children’s futures. This may be one final method of doing so financially.

    • Tessa says:

      The queen by her past actions would have wanted Harry and Meghan and their children there. Once again Charles is not respecting her wishes.

    • Amy Bee says:

      @caseysmom: There’s no inheritance. Everything’s gone to Charles. Plus Harry doesn’t need the Queen’s money. He had his own now.

    • teecee says:

      That’s not how the law works, even for the queen.

      And it looks like she didn’t even leave her favorite child money, she just gave it all to Charles to avoid taxes. I’m sure she left instructions about how she wanted it distributed, but Charles was in no obligation to honor them. (Nor should he – it’s not like she earned it any more than he did.)

    • Rackel says:

      At Casey. That’s an excellent point. It’s also how she operated. She had people loyal to her and they probably force chuck to abide by certain things.

      She probably has tied harry up. The queen believed in holding on to people. See prince Micheal of Kent. You do this work and you get to keep such and such.

    • TheVolvesSeidr says:

      I understood that QE2 left everything to Charles, I seriously doubt Harry is going to the conanation to get $$ left by the Q. I seriously doubt she left anything to him.

  14. MSTJ says:

    For me, it wasn’t an invitation to the coronation that demonstrated his lack of concern or affection for the the Sussex family, it was the eviction. It was unwarranted. He can’t express disappointment for not seeing his grandchildren after just evicting them all from the only home they had in England. In my opinion, no amount of propaganda spin can erase the impact of the eviction; the eviction demonstrates that he doesn’t care about them.

    • Jais says:

      Co-sign everything you said @MSTJ. He evicted them from the home their parents paid for. Enough said. He doesn’t care if he sees them and he’s the one that made it harder for them to visit.

      • Mary Pester says:

        @Jais, another point that must be considered, and I’m not sure if my American friends on here realise, The Reigning monarch has custody of all of their grandchildren. It’s a very old law that has never been changed!, Harry is not stupid and knows this, do you think that Harry would have thought it, not worth the risk of bringing his beloved children and his beloved wife just in case his dog sht father tried to pull a stunt, by saying “You HAVE TO STAY HERE NOW”

      • Beverley says:

        @Mary Pester, I had no idea. No wonder Diana was so concerned that Charles would keep her from her boys.

      • Bubblegum Dreams says:

        @May Pester. That’s an international dispute I would definitely get buckets of popcorn ready for. Lili and Archie are American citizens. Archie by virtue of his mom’s citizenship automatically qualified for U.S., citizenship when he was born and Lili was born in the U.S. I bet he already has an American birth certificate and they both have U.S. passports.
        I think Harry went as his duty as a British citizen and to show his support for his CIC. He is going only for the ceremony in Westminster Abbey, none of the other stuff.

    • Feeshalori says:

      Indeed, that was a very aggressive and clear move by Charles and no other way to interpret the message he sent.

    • Jaded says:

      The eviction and pulling security sent a very clear message that he’s cut ties cruelly and without an ounce of compassion for Harry, Meghan and his kids. This will come back to haunt him the rest of his miserable life.

    • Juniper says:

      What amazes me is KCIII’s surprised Pikachu face over the family not coming after he (checks notes) removed their security, took away their house, and used the media to express his displeasure instead of (checks notes again) working with his other child.

    • lucy2 says:

      Exactly. He’s banning them and evicting them and then turning on the crocodile tears that he doesn’t get to see his grand kids.
      I always think about in Harry’s book how he said Charles and Camilla told W&K to stop doing so much, it was making them look bad, and then “someone” planted stories about W&K being lazy (they are, but this was before they got worse). C&C are psychotic. Considering how Charles has treated his own children, Harry in particular, it’s best he doesn’t have much access to the grand kids.

  15. Noor says:

    Operations clean up. We see it for what it is. And to think the writer actually use the term “extrangement ” as shown below :

    “..the king was “saddened by the estrangement” from his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet”

  16. Rapunzel says:

    The more I hear about this, the more convinced I am that Harry must’ve made some sort of deal. I’m expecting the RAVEC issue to suddenly clear up post UpChuckathon. Or for us to discover that the Frogmore eviction is either off, or the Sussexes are getting paid back for their payments towards It.

    I truly think that there had to be a deal, somewhere.

    • Jasper says:

      I didn’t see your comment before replying to another, but I’ve said essentially the same. There must be more tied in to his attendance there.

    • Feeshalori says:

      I doubt very much that Harry’s attending without some hardball negotiations having occurred. I wouldn’t be surprised either if he wrangled concessions for future security or reimbursement of the money spent on FC.

    • ShazBot says:

      I disagree, I think he got nothing and that’s why it’s just him going in for the ceremony and nothing else. He probably feels he’d regret it if he didn’t because it’s the biggest day of his dad’s life. And it would also be a stick he’d be beaten with forevermore if he missed it. He has said he hopes for reconciliation and knows it will take years, but he also probably knows that if he missed this, his father would never ever forgive him.
      So he’s gritting his teeth and powering through with the bare minimum.

  17. nutella toast says:

    I have a theory that KC coronation festivities will have a lot of “diversity” – for performative sake, and 99.9% of it will either be choir people, musicians, etc. or the “public servants” and youth he invited – of course, the rows that “matter” will be white as snow, but just to prove he “isn’t racist”, I think he’ll take a page out of Meg and Harry’s wedding book and performatively bring in some “modernization” (which in KC vocabulary appears to mean “See? I like Black people – I let them serenade me all the time”).

    And yes, I know I used a lot of “. Because their words mean nothing.

    • MSTJ says:

      Like you, I expect there will be loads of performative diversity on show….and I, a foreigner, think many Brits will embrace him for that performance. It wouldn’t pay their bills but will make them feel good about their country. Propaganda works to sway people’s hearts and/or minds and I think that’s what the monarchy does for Brits. It’s a national identity despite the family dysfunction.

      I’m glad Meghan will not be a part of the propaganda (performative diversity).

      • nutella toast says:

        @MSTJ I am too.

      • Brassy Rebel says:

        Yes, performative diversity will be the order of the day. They need to cover for the all white con-a-nation itself. The one thing they’re good at is propaganda.

      • Christine says:

        I think he’ll have the gospel choir that was so glorious during Harry and Meghan’s wedding, especially after Meghan gushed so much about it on the Netflix series.

        It will look like he is thinking fondly about Meghan and Harry, without having to look at Meghan.

    • equality says:

      Considering how many people have failed to volunteer as bell-ringers and declined to perform at his concert, KC may be getting desperate for anyone to take part, outside of the aristo crowd. I figured the WA choir would perform, if anybody, since that’s where the con is.

      • Abolish the monarchy says:

        I hope when Bette Midler performs she dedicates “Wind Beneath My Wings” to Meghan and Harry. 😛

        (Just having a little giggle here but she’s EXTREMELY liberal so I’m pretty surprised she agreed to this.) That would would make my whole 2023 if she did summering like that – royalists would s hit themselves – lol

      • Brassy Rebel says:

        I hadn’t heard that Bette Midler was performing. She is sort of liberal but can be very tone deaf.

      • Pip says:

        Bette Midler – seriously?!?!?! What the actual …? Because she’s a huge artist in the UK after all 😀 What a fiasco: her, Lionel Ritchie, Katy Perry. Hahahahaha. I officially declare the whole event a debacle 😀

        #NotMyKing
        #NotMyMonarchy
        #NotMyDebacle

    • Feeshalori says:

      All the diversity performances and attendees on his big day makes it more egregious that his daughter in law isn’t there. Charles can try to clean up on aisle B all he wants but the mess is still going to be there.

  18. Honey says:

    I know this isn’t the point of the article and has likely been discussed before but I’m thinking that William and Kate are the reason Charles pulled the plug on Frogmore. I believe neither William nor Kate wanted Meghan or the children on the Windsor estate. Period. End of.

    • Blithe says:

      Colonialists are gonna colonize.
      Will and Kate seem to have contributed to more than one Sussex family relocation.

    • Mary says:

      @honey, agreed. I think Charles the Petty is very happy to assist in and further vindictive actions on his behalf and the part of others, notably Camilla, but I think the Frogmore Cottage eviction was all
      spurred on by William and Kate with Charles only too happy to comply.

    • Puppy1 says:

      Honey, I agree it was W&K. I would bet they told CIII that he had to evict H&M and relocate Andy or their kids wouldn’t be at the Con-a-Thon

    • Saucy&Sassy says:

      I have no doubt that WanK contributed to the eviction of Frogmore Cottage, but I tend to think this is more to be laid at the Escort’s door. Does anyone think that Randy Andy is moving? I don’t. So, who will be living there? Will it sit empty? Or will the Escort give it one of her children? I guess we’ll wait and see.

  19. Amy Bee says:

    I’ve said it before if Charles was really interested in Archie and Lili he wouldn’t have kicked them out of Frogmore and he would have gone to Lili’s christening.

  20. Tessa says:

    Harry should not feel guilty about not catering to brother and father. It has reached a point when enough is enough. Will as good as said he did not want harry to get married.

  21. Well Wisher says:

    The funny thing in this whole ordeal is that Harry has found a way to move on.

    Being out if that environment, has made it impossible for him to ever accept the behaviour he had grown accustomed and tolerated.

    It is a new dawn, a new day since he chose to love himself, he has attracted so much love including that of his wife and children.

    Charles is yet to understand that every bad relationship is different and one can learn something from every one of them.

    Treating his son worse that his ex-wife was a terrible idea, one that put him in a bad light.
    He feels that he did nothing wrong and like William, is probably hoping that Harry will come crawling back…

    That ship has sailed, Harry likes the person he has grown into, there is no going back, this is the new normal. Lowe of the Times claimed that he saw some of the coronation plans.
    He hinted that Harry is left out of all, he is a onlooker at this spectacle.
    Attending this event, means that he has gone over and above …
    Moving forward, with love, it is his duty to protect his children from the behaviour he has endured from his father and brother.
    King Charles’s gaslighting is getting stale and old.

  22. Flower says:

    This is Diana all over again.

    It’s almost as if Chuckles does not learn.

    He likely didn’t invite them (Meghan and babies Sussex) because he knows that Meghan and her babies would have been the draw to the worlds media. That and the visual of Meghan in a tiara or worse still Meghan in no tiara.

    They’re so bad at this and it shows.

    Granted this is arguably Chuckles ‘crowning moment’ (pardon the pun), but to allow himself to get mired into all these side debates and arguments is just shocking.

    How hard is it to just invite everyone except Andrew and then have a show of unity on the Balcony.

    Also is this legacy that William wants to inherit of the rift with Harry and Meghan looming over him his whole life.

    None of this makes sense.

    • Rackel says:

      They refuse to let Andrew shoulder a punishment alone. Its always harry&megan, and Andrew. I still think they are treating harry harshly to help Andrew. So Andrew won’t be alone.

  23. Inge says:

    If he had wanted to see Archie & Lili he could have gone to Lili’s christening but he declined.

    • TeamMeg says:

      C-3 can fly to California on a private jet any damn day he pleases. His son, daughter in law, and adorable grandkids are there seven days a week. All the excuses and crocodile tears are BS.

  24. Maxine Branch says:

    I have zero issue with Harry attending the short part of this mess he is attending. Happy Meghan’s self worth is more important to her than being subservient to Harry’s family.Both Meghan and Harry co-signed his attending. We all have seen and witnessed the lack of emotional intelligence his family has. We also know his father is now head of the military in the UK. We also know how importance Harry’s military brothers and sisters are to him as well as Meghan through her husband. For me the oneness is on the Windsor’s and not Harry. To respond in kind to to hatred and misogyny is not the way to heal and move forth. Pretty sure Harry and Meghan would not have allowed their children to attend this mess even if they were asked. From afar, I am okay with their decision. I have zero skin in the game and I will not judge their decision through my lens.

    • Seaflower says:

      Well said. I agree.

    • julianna says:

      Well said Maxine – all of your points! None of us know everything that has gone on for Harry and Meghan with the royal family in Britain and the ‘royal factory’, as I like to call it. I respect the life they are crafting for themselves and the causes they are supporting. I believe they are making the best decisions for themselves in all these horrendous situations. I can’t conceive of the pressure that they must constantly live under.

      • Renae says:

        Hmmm. “Royal factory” you say.
        Is that like sausage where you don’t want to see it made?

        I stick with my initial feelings. Harry should not be going.
        I know everyone here that is ok with his attendance has come up with really good reasons for why its ok or even good he goes. But I still think its disrespectful of Meghan and almost a slap in the face. Now, if the reports are correct (and I wouldn’t bet on it) , Harry will be slapped back with being placed badly and pointedly ignored.
        Hope it works out for them. Hope I’m wrong but those are my feelings.

      • Mary says:

        @Renae, I agree with you. That people are justifying Harry’s attending the Coronation to gain something by way of concession does not negate what he is taking away from his wife and children, a show of support for them.

      • Kkat says:

        His leaving his birth family and country for his new family was his everlasting show of support.
        Nothing tops that.

        What I think is stupid is how H and M’s supposed supporters are pushing the tabloid and BP’s agenda on this site.

      • Saucy&Sassy says:

        Renae and Mary, I tell you what. You be angry for the disrespect that clearly Meghan doesn’t feel. Since you have no way of know what H&M discussed, you can’t say what they based their decision on.

        If I want to know what the tabloids are saying, I’ll just read them. Since I don’t read them, that should tell you how much value I place on their articles. This particular point of view would make good tabloid fodder, because then they can turn it into HARRY CHOSE HIS FATHER. Please. Anyone with a bit of sense can see the fallacy of that statement.

  25. Seaflower says:

    Chuckles obviously believes his own PR. Fool.

    Now he has gotten a lot of the aristocracy offside by not inviting them, I expect we will see more and more stories critical of him to start leaking.

  26. girl_ninja says:

    “Diana would be so disgusted with how he’s treated Harry and Harry’s children.”

    If Diana was alive the way she would be kicking Charles and his racist ass all over England. She would never allow the disrespect shown to her grandbabies without a fight.

    • Rackel says:

      Diana would tear him up in the press. No one likes Andrew but if the queen was alive he too would be telling Charles off. It’s about respecting harrys title. If you can disrespect a royal Duke then you can disrespect a lord and so forth.

  27. aquarius64 says:

    I think Harry going to the Con-a-Nation is under duress. Going to the ceremony and leaving right after still shows the family rift is ongoing; and the children is used as leverage (loss of titles if he doesn’t come) .The cameras are going to cut more to Harry for reactions and body language, again pulling focus off Charles. Any footage of Harry that gives hostage video will play on a loop.

  28. JCallas says:

    Indeed, most observers now believe that sightings of Meghan and her children on British soil over the next decade will be somewhere between few and none,

    This is why they’re pissed. Charles cruelty has cost them $$$$$

    • Beverley says:

      Charles’ cruelty, yes. But the royal rats had a HUGE hand in driving H&M away. The BM’s audacity of heaping ongoing racial abuse and misogyny, coupled with violent fantasies about Meghan and Prince Archie, and expecting them to bend over and take the relentless hate boggles my mind.

      So the pissed off media can fu*k all the way off. I hope Meghan and Harry continue their stealth visits to the friends and charities in the UK for years to come, and the RR never again snaps another photo of the Duchess or her children.

  29. Over it says:

    Diana is still thinking, yup, chuck is still dogs—it

  30. Eurydice says:

    This is closure. Charles doesn’t want to see Meghan and his grandchildren, then fine. Charles doesn’t want H&M at Windsor, then fine. Harry will do his final duty as son/veteran/citizen and then move on. Harry doesn’t need the RF and the RF can always find someone else to be the scapegoat for their cover-ups.

  31. Emf999 says:

    You know, and this may be an unpopular opinion but I understand why Harry is going. To not go slams the door shut on any prospect of a reconciliation. However we may judge Charles, this is his father. The one he spoke of warmly in Spare. No matter how badly he has been treated by Charles, it’s his Dad.

    We have a similar situation going on in our family with my husband’s brother. He’s done some appalling things, right up there with Charles. But last weekend, my sweet husband and I had a conversation about how we should try reach out to start repairing the fracture. So I get Harry’s decision. But I’m also so glad that Meghan and the little prince and princess get to stay home and safe in CA.

    • Talthor says:

      My thoughts, when there is a family estrangement it is hard to realize that the break may be final. I am going through this in my family, I keep opening the door a crack. I’m not ready to slam and lock the door to use a cliched analogy.

      At some point I will but not right now, hope springs eternal and all that crap.

      • Pip says:

        I empathise with you wholeheartedly Talthor. I’m in the same state too & it’s so difficult to move from very little contact to no contact. There’s a BIG difference between the two situations & it’s very difficult to navigate. Like you, hope springs eternal &, to use another truism, it’s the hope that kills you.

  32. ThatsNotOkay says:

    Charles didn’t want Archie’s birthday ruining his special day. It’s all about King Charles, you see, and always has been. He’s jealous and afraid of the attention a nursery schooler would get. King Chuck is infantile and passed that trait right on down to his balder heir.

  33. Sugarhere says:

    First the sly craftiness on the selection of his grandson’s birthday date, then the abode confiscation: by all counts, this racist retaliatory crackdown is turning Charles into the first Apartheid King in British history 👏🏻 😑.

  34. CheChe says:

    Chuck is making some interesting moves ahead of being anointed as head of the Church of England. This man can’t get out of his own way.

  35. RoyalBlue says:

    I am glad that more folks are coming to the realization that Charles is a spiteful monster. Many of us here have been saying that for years and you would get few chiming in with his good works with the Princes Trust. I am sorry, but even the mafia say they do public service by donating to charities, that doesn’t make it a good organisation. A snake will always be a snake, no matter how you dress it up. And that is Charles III.

  36. lanne says:

    I think Harry made the right decision for him and his family. Show his face, then bounce. I’m looking forward to the pictures of the grandchildren. Elizabeth had her jubilees and events surrounded by her grandchildren. Charles will take pictures with the Wales kids and the Parker Bowles kids, but the only conversation will be that the Sussex kids were absent–his only non-white grandkids were not even invited to be there.

    It would have been so so easy to roll out the red carpet for the Sussexes. Let them stay at Frogmore, invite them to events–look like a king with a united family around you. The only story worth telling about this cornonation is how divided the royal family is, that their hate and racism and jealousy was stronger than their love fore a 2 time war veteran who did everything his monarch asked him to do. He just chose a bride who didn’t fit the traditional mold. The story of the royal family is the story of Meghan and Harry, and it’s the fault of all the racists in the family that this is so.

    Had Meghan been welcomed as she should have been, the coronation would have been the hottest ticket in town. No celebrity would have turned it down. The royal family would be more popular than ever. No one in the royal family knows how to play the long game, for all the importance they play on sustaining their dynasty over generations. Their eventual fall will happen decades before it might have otherwise, and it will be their own faults.

    • First comment says:

      Well said @Lanne. The big looser in all this is Charles himself, not only because he threw any opportunity to have a relationship with his own grandchildren but also because he lost irrevocably the opportunity to show the whole world the evolution and the modernization of British monarchy (no matter how controversial the terms) by including his biracial daughter in law and his own grandchildren. His own coronation will remain in history as a white coronation where relatives in different color were forced to be absent. The optics are terrible! (Imagine a photo of Charles and all of his grandchildren, especially the mixed race ones… it could have gone viral!!.. remember the photo of the queen, Philip and Doria after archie’s birth? I think it had a significant impact at the time…but I guess, he is jealous and afraid enough of being overshadowed by his own grandchildren)

  37. Elsa says:

    How easy it would have been to include the kids. By welcoming the kids into the fold, they could have gone a long way toward healing the rift. Family is family. I hate all this exclusive stuff.

  38. SunRae says:

    Harry attending is quite clearly a strategic move designed to secure his interests in the UK, avoid accusations of petulance and abdication (he doesn’t actually want to go into exile, after all) and protect his wife. All the ‘he hasn’t recovered, can’t let go, let Meghan down’ comments are sheer projection. He was born a prince and contrary to what the tabloid hacks want you to believe, he didn’t give that up automatically when he fell in love with a black woman. There is nothing but pure strategy behind this. Had they both declined the invitation, the vitriol would be enormous and directed purely at the controlling wife who’s alienated him from his family. This way they get their little prince back, albeit for a while, and she has her peace while destroying several narratives about her dominant, attention-seeking nature, cementing her icon status and compelling me to stan even harder.

    Master stroke from them both.

    • swaz says:

      Master stroke indeed 😃 great decision all around😃

    • Robert Phillips says:

      I just had a thought. If they actually sit Harry in the back that may work in Harry’s favor. He can pull up run into the building. Then run out to a car and dissapear afterwards. The only shots of him will be him sitting in the Abbey. Which won’t push stories for very long. Which will tick the tabloids off even more. Which will mean they have to pull out old stories of the other royals to make any money.

    • Cinder says:

      Yep yep yep. All of this. Harry going isn’t an emotional move or a naive child hoping for a reconciliation. I can’t think of any other move that would’ve rendered the British media so completely discombobulated and frustrated. Just like the jubilee, once again all of their hate, cruelty, and insanity is on display for the world to see. And even better, this time it’s all for a woman who isn’t even there.

      P.S. I think this time shots of Rose will be the big sellers for the BM.

    • Juniper says:

      THANK YOU! The people saying “Harry let his wife and children down” don’t understand critical and strategic thinking. The Royals need a lesson in this as well. All would have been so popular had they not allowed the vitriol against Meghan. Instead they have a mess of their own making.

  39. QuiteContrary says:

    When even Tom Sykes says the royals have effed up, you know it cannot be denied any longer.

    I’m glad Meghan is keeping her shine away from the Struggly. Charles doesn’t deserve a glow-up courtesy of Meghan and her beautiful children. Harry will soldier on, because that’s who he is, but not to keep open the chances of reconciliation, as I see it — he now can close the door on this chapter of his life, knowing that he’s done his duty.

  40. Kimmee says:

    Is Charles just playing hardball or does he not care for the children at all? That’s the real story. If something happened could his grandchildren live with him? I honestly don’t know. The only person who really knows is harry.

    • Lauren says:

      I’ve started wondering if some of his hate and dislike of Diana has carried on to the children he had with her. William and Harry had this almost built in popularity because they are Diana’s sons.

      • First comment says:

        You’re right @Lauren. I think he’s incapable of having any paternal feelings towards his own children as observed many times in the past…especially towards Harry who seems to be exactly like his mother in terms of empathy and charisma. Charles was jealous of Diana for overshadowing him and he continues to be jealous of Harry, his wife and children for the same reason.

      • Jaded says:

        @Lauren — I agree. I think he’s much closer to William, even though he’s an utter failure as a human being, simply because he’s the heir. Charles apparently said, when Harry was born, that he wished he’d been a girl, and disliked his red hair because it was a Spencer trait. Immediately after the photo op of them on the hospital steps, he went off to play polo. It’s clear that when Harry turned out to be a mini-me of Diana, his antipathy towards him just kept growing.

    • Kimmee says:

      I’m also going to add that harry looks like Phillip side of the family. Is that playing a part in this. Charles looks at him as a separate little person.

      • The Old Chick says:

        Sunrae, this is how I see it. It’s a master-stroke, a genius move. Hence the non stop media wailing. They lost the pics of M, the bullying of M for stealing attention or whatever. It destroys their narrative and hurts their pockets. H will do the bare min and KFC will look foolish. I love this for them.

    • Tessa says:

      I hope those darling children will never ever live with charles.

  41. ChattyCath says:

    I see this as the final death throes for the Monarchy. They’ve been shown as nothing but a toxic family. The money would be better spent on failing public services. The RF are terrified that the BM know their dirty secrets and that H&M may leak them. Charles has terrible advisors or he would seek to make peace. Now it’s Open Season. Happened in Europe will happen here. I used to think TQ was lovely, a source of stability and security. Scales have fallen from my eyes..

    • Jaded says:

      @ChattyCath — The BRF are wayyyy too cozy with the Tory government to push for improved public services. They just want the Tory money train to keep funding them. My bet is if a labour government is voted in in 2025 you’ll see a huge uptick of anti-royal media coverage. Scales are falling from lots of eyes these days.

    Hey Charlie, thanks for telling us who you are AGAIN! SO people of colour can be put on a stage to entertain you, people of colour can be in a choir to entertain you, but, people who are NOT 100%white, CAN NOT AND MUST NOT be considered family, or take part in family occasions! Nor your pathetic coronation. Yeah, we see you Charlie, so don’t even try for the careing grandfather title, your not even a careing father. We SEE YOU, so remember, when we put the crown on the king (you) it doesn’t make you a king, it makes the whole establishment a circus, with Camilla leading the big top

    • Blithe says:

      Yep! @Mary Pester, I’ve been wondering (hoping? Lol) if one or more of the Commonwealth countries might chose the day of the coronation to publicly proclaim their intention(s) to dump King Chuck at their head of state.

      Charles actually needs to explain. It would be awkward if he did an interview. he needs to explain himself to an established snitch. They can say “Charles friend” advised. Cause the royal rota us just making up stories at this point. You have Andrew, Camilla, middletons, and eventually sophie/Edward planting stories.

  44. tamsin says:

    They’re talking about snubbing two toddlers! There are no words. At least it would make more sense if they wrote that Harry is being punished because HIS family is being cut out.

    I happen to come across a picture of the king’s family at the coronation of George V.I It depicts him with his two daughters Elizabeth and Margaret- the complete royal family. Now, there will be no such picture of the King’s family this time around. Charles is no family man and is incapable of keeping a family together. He can have a picture of himself, his mistress-queen, and William and his family. He could have a picture of himself, the Waleses, and Camilla and her family. There will be no complete picture of Charles’s family-he has thrown half of it away. The history books will forever have to explain why there is no picture of the complete family of the monarch.

      I absolutely love that for Charles. Hindsight is always 20/20 and the historical records will show that in 2023, the bigot king couldn’t stomach having a half Black DIL and couldn’t bring himself to accept his grandchildren. It’ll be a permanent and shameful indictment of how the mixed-race royals were treated.

  45. jferber says:

    Beverley, Yes, and he indicted himself and left the wreckage for the world to see. He is writing his own history book on himself and it stinks. And he’s too stupid to know it. You “won,” Charles, at being a bad husband, father, grandfather, statesman and king. You are the King of Petty.

  46. Why is the Royal family and the British media so proud of announcing to the world that the king of the UK deliberately did not invite his biracial grandchildren to his coronation? This is the big proof that Charles is a bigot and a racist. This also goes for the rest of the royals and the British media. FU.

  47. blunt talker says:

    I knew this the best way to keep Charles and Camilla from being outshined by the entire Sussex family-Harry going won’t produce any out shining because they will curtail him during this event-but to have Meghan and the kids-nobody would be looking at Charles/Camilla very much-Charles knew this-that is why he did not invite Archie and Lillibet-they are very young but they could have come over and maybe have some type of celebration for Archie-they knew Meghan will not want to leave her child behind on his birthday that is why that date was chosen-all the people who work for the king knew these children’s birthdays-it was done out of spite with a big dose of evil spirit-they really wanted to keep Meghan and her kids out of a very white supremacist event to reinforce white supremacy to day tomorrow and into the future-I know Harry is a prince and a duke-he doing this to pay his respects to his father’s reign-he pulling the media’s attention away from his family to keep them safe-history will not be kind to Charles’s reign about ignoring his grandkids of mixed race-the historians all over the world will have their say-these children are very young now but they will read every mean spirited article said about their parents-the majority of this meaness coming from the UK which is a predominate white country-Harry’s father and brother participating in hurting their parents will not go unnoticed-they will see racism at its very best coming from their father’s homeland.

    • Tessa says:

      The media still do not leave harry and Meghan alone. There is no appeasing them
      Kate is praised for being a mean girl and poor poor Charles can’t see his grandchild.

  48. blunt talker says:

    PS-my heart breaks to see Camilla being crowned after she dirtily worked behind the scenes to undermind her marriage with Charles leading the charge-poor Diana did not stand a chance in hell of surviving these types of evid-doers-I cannot watch her being crowned knowing she part of the reason Diana is not there or livng today-God don’t like ugly-whenever you do evil underhanded things to others the payback will be a bitch. sometimes it does not happen to you but to the people you love and care about-I hope the king and queen really do read and study Bible-they are going to need it. I know this will hurt Harry to witness this but I pray he gets through it okay.

  49. Tessa says:

    Of course it could not be held on a birthday of a Wales child
    Charles whining about
    Not seeing the Sussex children is so hypocritical

  50. Cassie says:

    My only interest in the Coronation is when Harry is safely home and the whole ridiculous thing is over .

    Harry is the only decent person in that disgusting inbred racist family .

    Charles is a disgraceful human being ,there is nothing remotely decent about him, absolutely nothing .

  51. Solidgold says:

    Charles evicted his son and grandchildren from their only home in England. That is the action of a man that yearns to see his grandchildren.

    Spare me.

  52. Claire says:

    I’m guessing that Harry and Meghan made the decision together and that it’s not really any of our business to judge.

  53. Robin Samuels says:

    “Judge that you be not judged.”
    Life has taught me many lessons, and I learned early that the women who tell you what they will or will not do or have much to say about what is happening in another person’s life are carrying some unbelievable baggage. The judgment is perception. The women who attacked Meghan negatively, are they happily married? Do they have children? Sarah Vine’s husband left her for another man, but she hates Meghan! Piers Morgan’s 2nd wife was pregnant before he divorced his first wife., but she hates Meghan. That ugly old man was sexually abusing Megyn Kelly, and she remained quiet until he stopped focusing on her, but she hates Meghan. The Queen’s husband lived with another woman privately for many years, but the BP courtiers hate Meghan. See the pattern?
    Babies and toddlers are generally not invited to weddings, so what makes a coronation any different? Will Archie and Lili miss out on a historical event? History will give an accurate account of the event, and their parents will fill in the gaps. History will reveal their grandfather, heir to the throne, had a mistress while married to their grandmother, Princess of Wales. After Grandmother Diana died in a tragic accident that many are not sure was an accident, he married his mistress.
    The only photo I’ve seen with Charles and Archie was at the christening, and he couldn’t bring himself to smile.
    According to Spare, the relationship between Charles and William is optics. William harbors his anger for public consumption because his only focus is becoming the King of England. Observe how anger has impacted his physical appearance; he’s only forty but looks fifty-five. Meghan and Archie have changed the game. The British tabloid will tinker with slight Royal family leaks until the closet of skeletons loses its door—loads of dirty secrets behind those palace walls.
    Thank you, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, for representing women worldwide and showing that it’s important to #Know Your Worth.
