The royal family saga continues as King Charles III finds himself in a state of sadness and bewilderment over his son, Prince Harry‘s, ongoing legal battle against a British newspaper group.
The Duke of Sussex has filed a lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers, alleging illegal phone hacking that resulted in the publication of numerous stories about him spanning from 1996 to 2011, causing him significant distress.
In a 55-page witness statement, Prince Harry expressed his concerns about the state of the press and government in England, stating that it has reached a low point.
This viewpoint has sparked debate as some argue that it contradicts the constitutional requirement for the royal family to remain apolitical.
Sources close to the palace have revealed that King Charles III has been deeply impacted by Harry’s rhetoric and continuous accusations against his own family.
While the King grapples with feelings of sorrow and confusion, there is a growing sense of frustration towards his son’s actions, which seem never-ending.
Prince Harry’s decision to step back from his royal duties three years ago and relocate to California, citing the pressures of public life and alleged biases against his wife, Meghan Markle, has strained his relationship with his father.
In his memoir titled “Spare,” Prince Harry openly criticized his father’s marriage to Queen Consort Camilla, even going as far as referring to her as a wicked stepmother.
Recent reports indicate that during his recent trip to the UK for the lawsuit, Harry did not meet with Charles or his brother, William, and was reportedly excluded from his father’s 75th birthday parade.
Despite Prince Harry’s belief in the strength of his case against the newspaper group, concerns have been raised regarding the evidence he has presented thus far.
Palace insiders have disclosed that he did not raise any concerns about phone hacking when the contentious articles were initially published, and concrete evidence linking journalists to the practice remains elusive.
Critics argue that Prince Harry’s time in California has clouded his judgment and compromised his conduct.
They suggest that without proper guidance on navigating his role within the royal family, he has struggled to discern what is appropriate to say.
His recent comments about the UK government have been perceived as embarrassing for both himself and the nation.
As the tension within the royal family continues to escalate, the public awaits further developments in this unfolding drama.
