During Prince Harry’s recent visit to the UK, it has been alleged that King Charles declined the opportunity to take a photo with his son. Royal biographer Tom Bower sheds light on the reason behind this shocking decision.
In a new development in the ongoing saga of King Charles III and Prince Harry’s relationship, royal biographer Tom Bower explains that the King’s decision is not solely due to his busy schedule. Instead, it is a deliberate choice to prevent the Duke from gaining positive PR.
“When it comes to the brand, the King and his advisors have seen through it all,” Bower reveals. “They understand that it’s all about boosting their own image.” He adds, “Harry was desperate for a photo opportunity with the King, but rightly so, the King denied him of that.”
According to Bower, Prince Harry’s eagerness to take a photo with his dad stems from his and Meghan’s planned trip to Nigeria. They intend to leverage their “royal card” during their visit to give the impression that they are representing the Royal Family.
“She wants to play the Duchess and the Royal Family,” Bower explains. Speaking about Prince Harry’s motives for the photo with King Charles III, he says, “He wanted that photo so he could go to Nigeria and say, ‘I come here as a member of the Royal Family.’”
Bower goes on to criticize Prince Harry and Meghan, accusing them of “exploiting the misery in London” and putting Prince William and Kate in a bad light. He commends Buckingham Palace for not playing into their game this time.
The public’s reaction to Bower’s statements has largely been in agreement with the royal biographer. Many social media users express their support, praising Bower for speaking out against Prince Harry and Meghan’s actions.
However, some people disagree with Bower’s viewpoint. They argue that King Charles is displaying pettiness and unforgiveness by not making time for his son. Despite the criticisms and accusations thrown at Prince Harry, he continues to be adored by many people, including his late mother’s family.
While Prince Harry faced some ignorance from certain members of his family, his return to the UK has been met with excitement by his supporters. During his visit, he attended a service at St Paul’s Cathedral in London and interacted with enthusiastic fans.
As he exited the cathedral, Prince Harry playfully engaged with a fan who was trying to capture him on two phones. His lighthearted interaction charmed many supporters, who praised his demeanor on social media.
Overall, Prince Harry’s visit to the UK has sparked both positive and negative reactions. While some people express their love and support for him, others question the credibility of his claims about facing hostility in the country. Despite the differing opinions, Prince Harry’s popularity remains strong.
