Now, word on the royal rumor mill is that King Charles is planning a significant family moment for his first Trooping the Colour celebration as monarch. You know, that highly anticipated annual parade where the entire royal cavalry dons their most splendid regalia to honor the sovereign's birthday with fanfare aplenty.
According to veteran royal watcher Marlene Coing, Charlie Boy is gearing up for a major promotional event showcasing the next generation of Windsors. Front and center will be his beloved grandchildren, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and young Prince Louis. Yes, those adorable little ones who, along with their parents, William and Kate, represent the photogenic future of the monarchy.
In Coing's own words, she envisions the carriage ride to include the king, queen, and their three grandchildren, waving joyously to adoring crowds. It's an iconic, postcard-perfect vision of the modern royals, staying humble and accessible for the public masses. You can almost picture Kate snapping those pride-swelling iPhone photos from the sidelines as a doting mom.
For any other family, such a heartwarming decision to spotlight the next heirs after Prince William would be a non-issue, just another moment of ceremonial bonding reinforcing those all-important hereditary ties to the crown for George, Charlotte, and Louis from an early age. It's a chance for the adoring UK public to bask in the presence of these cherished youths before they grow into ceremonial figureheads of the future Commonwealth.
But this is the royal family we're talking about, where even the most innocuous developments get twisted into sordid dramas, especially when you factor in the Montecito meddlers, Meghan and Harry. They seem determined to disrupt or discredit any royal actions as part of a vindictive anti-monarchy agenda.
In fact, let's not mince words here. The mere idea of Charles purposefully elevating his direct heirs for mass public consumption during his first major celebration as king likely has Meghan Markle fuming. After all, her efforts to portray herself as a globe-trotting humanitarian and perpetual voice for the voiceless have been overshadowed by this move. It's a clear indication to her that the monarchy has moved on without her.
Not only are George, Charlotte, and Louis the undisputed stars of this generational royal roadshow, but their own children, Archie and Lilibet, are nowhere to be found in the king's plans. For renegade granny and Auntie Meg, this must feel like a glaring snub. I can already envision the plate-smashing tantrums and red-misted social media rants Meghan is likely launching upon hearing of these trooping the color snubs.
Wailing about how Charles needs to showcase her beautiful, ethnically diverse grandchildren as the real face of the monarchy moving forward, the narcissistic audacity would be appalling if it wasn't so predictable from the seasoned pro-grifter. Remember, this is the same jealousy-fueled manipulator who spearheaded that disastrous Oprah interview simply because Kate Middleton received better media coverage during her own pregnancy.
Yikes, indeed. This woman has clung so desperately to her self-anointed role as a racial equality trailblazer, shaping Archie and Lilibet into cultural symbols and battering rams to further her never-ending crusade against the firm's traditions. So, to see Papa Charles upstaging her kids by thrusting his more photogenic, traditionally Anglo-Saxon grandchildren into the global limelight is the ultimate retaliation.
For Meghan, this latest PR maneuver has to feel doubly humiliating. Not only are her kids getting frozen out of the spotlight by their more respectable young cousins, but it's happening under the reign of their own feuding grandfather, Charles. It's a glaring insult, and I wouldn't be surprised if Meghan stages some public stunts to undermine any glow Charles hopes to bask in.
Maybe she'll orchestrate some weepy outing where Archie and Lilibet are hounded by paparazzi while their absent grandfather gallivants around playing doting papa to George and siblings. Or perhaps she'll contrive some balcony snub controversy, pushing a false narrative that Charles purposefully banished his Cali-based grandchildren over their racial backgrounds.
Anything to steal the spotlight back over her bottomless well of perceived injustice. It would just be the latest chapter in Megan's mission to endlessly mock the royal family, no matter the cost to their dignity, privacy, or unity.
