As we all know, I've been following the royal family for years, but what’s happening now feels like something entirely new. Our beloved King Charles, who has displayed nothing but patience throughout all the drama, seems to have finally reached his breaking point. And honestly, can we blame him? After all the turmoil, the tears shed by Princess Catherine, and the chaos that continues to brew, what’s unfolding behind the palace walls isn’t just another family meeting. We’re talking about significant, potentially history-making decisions.
And you know what really gets me? The audacity of it all. Here we have our working Royals—William, Charles, and Camilla—out there every single day, serving the nation with grace and dignity. They’re working tirelessly, making us proud, while these two—Harry and Meghan—are over in the US, seemingly oblivious to the fact that they can’t keep relying on UK taxpayers to foot the bill for their security. Facing the reality of having to pay their own security costs, they chose to sell their most valuable asset: the royal family’s inner secrets.
Prince Harry’s ongoing legal battles have left him in a tough financial spot, and many are now questioning how far he’s willing to go to secure the support he needs. What’s even more surprising is that, reportedly, he’s even turned to King Charles for help. Yet, even his own father isn’t taking his calls. Royal expert Emily Andrews shared that when courtiers bring the phone to the King, he waves them away in irritation.
As Christmas passes, there’s no sign of a family reunion between the Duke and the royal family, as their toxic rift continues to play out in the public eye. Insiders now say that estranged Harry may not receive a single penny from King Charles’s estate, with royal courtiers and family members urging the King to cut his youngest son out of his will.
Meanwhile, Meghan made a surprise return to Instagram on January 1st with a beachside video and a trailer for her upcoming Netflix series. Her new account quickly reached 1 million followers within 24 hours, and it’s predicted that she could earn up to £80,000 per post as the first "royal super influencer," provided she manages her accounts effectively. The royal family has not publicly reacted to Meghan’s upcoming cooking show, but behind closed doors, it seems they’re united in their opinion that the show won’t be a failure. If anything, they’re hoping it will succeed so that Meghan and Harry won’t feel the need to exploit their royal connections again. The last thing anyone wants is another "Spare" moment, this time from Meghan.
Celebrity social media strategist Gary Freer believes Meghan’s social media success could extend beyond Instagram. He’s advised her to explore platforms like YouTube or TikTok for greater revenue opportunities.
What really breaks my heart, though, is thinking about King Charles. Imagine being in his shoes—leading a modern monarchy, dealing with your own health challenges, and having to watch your younger son be manipulated like a puppet on strings. This was a man who once served his country with distinction, and now, look at this. Speaking about the strained relationship between the California Duke and his family, Andrews added that after all the brickbats, truth bombs, and accusations through Oprah, Netflix, and Harry’s memoir "Spare," Harry has lost his older brother, strained his relationship with many other royal family members, and left behind long-time friends and trusted staff.
As for why King Charles waves off Harry’s calls, Andrews explained that it’s not another falling out. Instead, it’s likely because Harry insists on discussing his ongoing battle for security, which he’s been fighting in the courts for four years. He believes Charles has the power to reinstate his security, but the monarch doesn’t have the authority to make that decision on his own. Royal security is governed by policies that are only available to senior, full-time working members of the monarchy, and the Duke of Sussex and his family no longer meet that criteria.
