Last week, Prince Harry’s unexpected visit to England to meet King Charles has sparked worries among some insiders of the British Royal Family. A veteran Royal Watcher and editor of Majesty Magazine shared his concerns, stating that he believes Harry poses a danger to the king. In an interview with The Telegraph, the Royal Watcher referred to Harry’s impulsive decision and explained that whenever Harry is around, there seems to be a certain level of hostility. However, despite the concerns, those close to King Charles assert that he is not worried and maintain that he continues to treat the current Queen with the utmost respect.
The Royal Watcher’s comments were undoubtedly difficult for Prince Harry to hear, but perhaps taking them to heart could lead to a better outcome during his next visit, which may occur in just a few weeks. It is worth noting that King Charles is known for being a private person, and his decision to publicly disclose his cancer diagnosis was seen as a courageous step towards raising awareness. The positive response he received for sharing his prostate enlargement diagnosis encouraged many men to undergo testing. By embracing a more open approach, King Charles aims to bring about change within the monarchy, a relatively new venture.
While Prince Harry continues to move between England, America, and Canada, Prince William strives to maintain a balance between work and family life. With both King Charles and Duchess Kate on sick leave, Prince William has taken on additional responsibilities. It is fortunate for Charles that William prioritizes family, but experts suggest that William doesn’t have to choose between family and duty. He can invest in both King Charles’s recovery and his own return to work plans. As part of his recovery, King Charles will spend time at Sandringham, although he acknowledges that he won’t be able to completely stop working. Since his cancer diagnosis, he has been residing at his home in Norwick but will travel to London for outpatient appointments.
King Charles is expected to attend Sunday’s ceremony at St. Peter and Mary Magdalene alongside Queen Camilla. He will continue to receive the government’s Red Box every morning, as is customary. While in London, he may be well enough to conduct face-to-face meetings, but should that not be feasible, he will resort to video calls or phone meetings, including his weekly sessions with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Friends close to the king express concern about the slower pace of life during his treatment, with one source telling the Daily Mail that boredom will be one of the greatest challenges he faces.
As the king has canceled all his royal engagements, his time at Sandringham will afford him the opportunity to engage in two of his favorite pastimes: walking and watercolor painting. Additionally, he takes solace in listening to records by the late Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, with his favorite album being “Take This Waltz.” On Saturday evening, Her Majesty issued a statement from Sandringham expressing gratitude for the support the king has received since his health problems became public.
