Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, residing on the other side of the world, reportedly discovered the news of King Charles’ prostate surgery through television reports, according to insights shared by royal commentator Pandora Forstyth.
In a recent discussion, Forsyth highlighted the challenges faced by the Sussexes due to their geographical distance from the rest of the Royal Family. She remarked, “That’s the cost of living on the other side of the world,” underscoring the inherent difficulties in staying abreast of important family updates from afar.
Forstyth delved into the complexities of the situation, noting, “You’re not within a few miles of one another, you’re literally on the other side of the world and a completely different timezone, and unfortunately, because you’re not a senior member of the Royal Family anymore, I’m not sure where you’ll be in terms of formal arrangements when it comes down to health issues.”
Highlighting the pragmatic priorities within the Royal Family, Forstyth added, “Of course, he is still a member of the Royal Family, but there is still business to be done. And that comes first given the extremely huge jobs that they’ll have to deal with in an ever-changing society, which brings into question the working royals as a whole.”
In a contrasting development, Prince Harry received the esteemed “Living Legends of Aviation” title on Friday in a glamorous ceremony. The honor was bestowed upon him in recognition of his service as an Apache helicopter pilot during his time in Afghanistan. As the dynamics of the Royal Family continue to evolve, the challenges of being a globally dispersed family come into sharp focus, sparking discussions about formal arrangements and the role of working royals in the modern era.
