Royal Expert finally lifts the lid on Prince Harry’s blackmailing of King Charles
Prince Harry’s alleged blackmail of King Charles has ignited a flurry of comments and conversations. Royal commentator Daniela Elser delved into the issue, noting that “there is much, as a kale-certified Californian might say, to unpack” regarding Prince Harry’s actions.
In her piece for News.com.au, Elser highlighted that “what is demonstrably true is that, yes, the King has seen very little of his Sussex grandchildren over the last few years.” She added that “it has been widely reported that Charles has only ever met Archie on a handful of occasions and Lilibet, a poppet controversially named after the King’s own late mother, only once and that was in 2022.”
Elser continued, “The idea of Harry ‘cynically’ using his adored little ones to exert some sort of pressure on his father doesn’t sit particularly comfortably. The Duke might be (insert your own thoughts here), but his devotion to and love for his wife and kids is unassailable.”
For context, this controversy arose after reports that in January 2023, within 24 hours of Harry’s memoir Spare being released, King Charles informed the Sussexes that he wanted the keys back to Frogmore Cottage, their home inside the Windsor security cordon. Elser pointed out, “Hardly the stuff of a doting grandfather intent on building strong relationships with his youngest grandchildren.”
This situation has raised questions about the strained relationship between Prince Harry and the Royal Family. While Harry’s actions are being scrutinized, the implications of such a rift within the family are concerning to many royal watchers.
Elser’s commentary underscores the complexity of the situation, acknowledging both the lack of contact between King Charles and his grandchildren and the perceived devotion Harry has for his family. The tension between maintaining security and fostering familial relationships is a difficult balance, especially under the intense public scrutiny the Royal Family endures.
As the debate continues, many hope for a resolution that prioritizes family unity without resorting to emotional blackmail or further estrangement. The Royal Family, once again, finds itself navigating a delicate and highly publicized chapter of internal conflict, highlighting the ongoing complexities of their high-profile lives.
