The King views this as a profound responsibility, aligning with his late mother's wishes, to ensure the Commonwealth's endurance and strength. His Majesty sees the star quality of William and Kate as integral to solidifying both their own and the monarchy's future.
The Commonwealth, consisting of 55 member states, many of which were once part of the British Empire, faces uncertainty after the Queen's passing, with some members contemplating withdrawal. There's also been increased talk of republicanism among territories with the King as their head of state.
During the summit, King Charles is expected to outline his expectations for the Prince and Princess of Wales, defining the roles he envisions for them in securing the monarchy's long-term future. The King is also planning overseas visits next year to reaffirm the monarchy's relationship with these territories, including Canada and Australia.
On a separate note, there have been rumors regarding the state of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's marriage and the potential custody of their children, Archie and Lili. While this matter remains delicate and legally intricate due to their place in the line of succession, there's speculation that Meghan may seek significant child support, reportedly up to $80 million, in the event of a separation.
Allegedly, King Charles has a plan to keep Meghan away from the children, preventing her from exerting influence on them and maintaining their distance from the Hollywood spotlight. This plan seems to align with King Charles's desire to keep his grandchildren out of both the royal lineage and the entertainment world.
However, it's worth noting that the royal family may not entertain discussions regarding custody, as it is primarily Harry's and Meghan's responsibility to address this matter. The King's summit is expected to revolve around broader issues concerning the monarchy and its future.
