King Charles’s latest move, a masterstroke that perfectly exposes just how far Harry and Megan have fallen. And oh boy, the timing couldn’t be more perfect.
So, let me set the scene. When King Charles’s office casually dropped the announcement about St. James Palace tours reopening, I nearly spilled my tea. This, my friends, is what we call playing chess while Harry and Megan are playing checkers. The sheer brilliance of this move has me absolutely giddy.
First, let’s talk about the timing. Harry and Megan are currently at the Invictus Games in Canada, desperately trying to convince everyone how amazing their new private life is. Meanwhile, Megan is launching yet another lifestyle brand—because the first ones worked out so well, right? They’re doing their usual song and dance about how they don’t miss royal life, how they’re thriving in America with their suspiciously invisible children.
And then—bam—King Charles drops this absolute gem about St. James Palace. For those who might not know (and I know Harry and Megan probably want to forget), this isn’t just any palace. We’re talking about over 300 years of royal history. This is where kings and queens of England lived for centuries. This is where Queen Victoria married Prince Albert. This is where the Accession Council meets when a new monarch takes the throne.
Here’s what makes this move so absolutely brilliant: King Charles didn’t need to say a word about Harry and Megan. He didn’t need to make any direct comments or fire any shots. He simply reminded the world of what real royal heritage looks like. And let me tell you, my friends, it’s a far cry from Netflix deals and lifestyle brands.
Think about what Harry and Megan walked away from. They didn’t just leave a job—they walked away from a thousand years of history. They traded St. James Palace for Montecito. They swapped centuries of tradition for Hollywood hustling. And for what? To launch another cookbook? To make another documentary where they complain about the family that gave them everything?
Let’s compare what they’ve achieved since leaving with what they left behind. They’re so proud of their Netflix deals, right? Their speaking engagements? Their podcasts that failed? Meanwhile, the royal family continues to be the custodians of places like St. James Palace—literal pieces of history that have stood for centuries and will continue to stand long after Megan’s latest lifestyle brand has been forgotten.
And can we talk about how desperate their recent moves look in comparison? Megan’s announcing her new brand just days before her Netflix show launches. It’s like watching someone trying to juggle while riding a unicycle—frantic, desperate, and likely to end in disaster. Meanwhile, the royal family just casually drops news about reopening a palace that’s been standing since Henry VIII’s time. Now that’s what I call a flex.
Speaking of cameras, isn’t it interesting how we never see proper photos of their children, but Megan never misses a photo op for herself? They’re so protective of their privacy when it suits them, but they sell their family’s private moments to Netflix without batting an eye. The hypocrisy is staggering.
But back to King Charles’s masterful move. By opening St. James Palace for tours, he’s not just sharing history—he’s showing the world exactly what Harry and Megan threw away. He’s reminding everyone that while the Sussexes are out there trying to build their brand, the royal family actually has something that can’t be bought or created through PR: genuine heritage.
And let’s be real—no amount of Netflix documentaries or lifestyle brands can compete with actual royal history. You can’t manufacture the kind of gravitas that comes with a place like St. James Palace. You can’t replicate centuries of tradition with a cookbook and some Instagram posts.
Here’s the real kicker: all their success, such as it is, comes from their connection to the very institution they’re so eager to criticize. Without their royal connections, what would they be? Just another failed actress and her husband trying to make it in Hollywood.
The opening of St. James Palace tours isn’t just a reminder of what they left behind—it’s a reminder of what they can never recreate, no matter how many deals they sign or brands they launch. You can’t manufacture heritage. You can’t buy tradition. You can’t create history through PR releases.
So, what do you think? Was King Charles’s timing deliberate? Did Harry and Megan see this announcement and feel a twinge of regret? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.
