In an unexpected twist, Prince Harry has made headlines once again by reaching out to Buckingham Palace with a surprising request.
Despite having stepped back from his royal duties, Harry called the palace overnight, not to check in on his father or sister-in-law, but to ask for his wife, Meghan Markle, to be included on the state counselor’s list.
The timing of this request has raised eyebrows and sparked conversations across the media.
Next week, King Charles is scheduled for surgery to address an enlarged prostate.
Buckingham Palace made the rare move of announcing this health matter, which is quite unusual for them.
The king wants to assure the public that he is undergoing treatment for a benign condition, just like many other men.
While he has postponed some meetings at the doctor’s recommendation, this seems like a minor hiccup in the grand scheme of things.
Meanwhile, Princess Catherine is also navigating her own health challenges.
She has undergone planned abdominal surgery and is expected to remain at the London Clinic Hospital for about 10 to 14 days.
Thankfully, her surgery was successful, and both she and King Charles are anticipated to return to their royal duties soon.
Interestingly, Harry and Meghan appear eager to make their way back to England, seemingly with aspirations to reclaim their roles within the monarchy.
This raises questions about Prince William, the heir apparent, and his place in this unfolding drama.
It seems Harry and Meghan might have overlooked him in their plans.
Adding fuel to the fire, Hello Magazine, often rumored to have ties to Meghan, is stirring the pot with speculations regarding the health issues of both King Charles and Princess Catherine.
They suggest these health concerns could jeopardize the monarchy’s stability, further complicating an already tumultuous year for the royal family.
As 2024 was meant to be a year of healing after the chaos of 2023, it appears the royals are still tangled in drama.
Harry’s request for Meghan to be appointed as a state councilor comes during a time when both King Charles and Princess Catherine are temporarily sidelined due to health issues.
This audacious move has many questioning Harry’s motives.
Interestingly, Catherine wasn’t even on the list of state councilors prior to this situation.
Harry’s spokesperson argues that all royal health issues should be disclosed to the counselors, but many see this as a blatant attempt to insert Meghan into royal affairs.
Instead of advocating for his wife, why not consider someone like Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, who has been actively fulfilling her royal responsibilities?
The situation feels almost theatrical, with Harry attempting to play the hero while Meghan’s intentions remain unclear.
This drama has even led to bizarre conspiracy theories, making it seem as if we’re living in a fantasy novel rather than dealing with real-life royal affairs.
However, Meghan should tread carefully.
