Other claims in the book suggest that the King viewed Prince Harry as a fool when the Duke of Sussex discussed a family feud in a Netflix documentary. However, despite these controversial claims, the Palace has remained silent, and its functions continue as usual. Palace officials have expressed their disdain for the lies presented by both Omid Scobie and the Sussexes. It's worth noting that much of the information about Charles and Scobie's book appears to have originated from Christopher Anderson's 'King Charles II' books and Paul Borlaw's discussions about toothpaste and shoelaces, which have been around since at least 2018.
One biographer recalled an incident in 1990 when Prince Charles broke his arm during a polo match, and his servants had to assist him with tasks like putting toothpaste on his toothbrush due to his injury. However, this context was taken out of proportion in Scobie's book.
Despite these challenges, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry continue to stand their ground regarding their relationship with the royal family. Tensions between Harry and his sister-in-law, Kate, remain high, and the couple isn't hesitant to publicly criticize the Royal Family. Nevertheless, their approach seems to be resonating with the public, as they are viewed with sympathy for maintaining composure and dignity amid the ongoing drama.
According to public relations expert Ed Dor James, the public perceives their response as poised, mature, and dignified, allowing them to rise above the storm rather than getting entangled in it. This approach seems to be working well for them in the eyes of the public, despite the ongoing controversies.
