King Charles is under scrutiny for allegedly transforming Royal events into a “circus” by extending an invitation to his estranged son, Prince Harry, and daughter-in-law, Meghan Markle. Despite attempts by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to mend fences with the Firm, advice against including them in this year’s Christmas celebrations at the palace has surfaced.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, in an exclusive interview with The Express, has weighed in on the situation, suggesting that Charles should exercise caution and wait for a year before fully embracing the exiled couple back into the Royal fold. Fitzwilliams emphasized that Harry and Meghan have been relentless in their criticism of the Royal Family for years and have only recently altered their strategy due to a perceived impact on their popularity in the United States.
“The Sussexes have remorselessly trashed the Royal Family for years,” Fitzwilliams stated, highlighting the need for the couple to demonstrate loyalty to the institution. He recommended a “trial period” during which Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would prove their commitment before being fully accepted back into the Royal family.
While acknowledging that King Charles has expressed an open-door policy for the Sussexes, Fitzwilliams raised concerns about the current atmosphere surrounding royal events, describing it as “something of a circus.” He questioned the timing of the invitation, suggesting that waiting a year might be a prudent approach.
Fitzwilliams concluded by urging Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to exhibit loyalty to the institution in the coming months if they genuinely seek acceptance back into the Royal family. The unfolding dynamics within the Royal Family continue to captivate public attention, adding another layer to the complex relationship between the monarchy and its estranged members.
