Royal expert Ingrid Seward has claimed King Charles has reached a decision about Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, as they prepare to head to Australia in just a few weeks
King Charles has reportedly reached a decision regarding Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. The royal pair will be travelling to Australia in just a few weeks on what has been termed a “faux royal tour”.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stunned the globe in January 2020 when they declared that they were stepping back as senior working royals. At the time, Harry and Meghan revealed that they were planning to forge a more financially independent existence away from the House of Windsor.
They also mentioned that they hoped to continue backing his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, and to represent the Commonwealth and the realms. However, this didn’t come to fruition, and instead of becoming part-time working royals, they agreed with the Queen’s blessing to take a complete step back.
However, since stepping back and relocating to California, Meghan and Harry have faced criticism for undertaking what appear to be royal tours – albeit without any official royal duties. Now, royal expert Ingrid Seward has claimed that the King has reached a conclusion about his son and daughter-in-law, reports the Mirror.
Ingrid told TalkTV: “I think they are lucky they were in the Middle East a few weeks ago and they are not there now. They are obviously trying to promote themselves, and they need to keep a high profile in order to make money.
“He’s [Charles] got plenty of other things to worry about. They do what they like up to a point. I think he has got more important things to worry about than what Harry and Meghan are doing at this moment.”
The past few months have proved to be quite turbulent for the King, and indeed the House of Windsor. For the first time in centuries, Charles’ brother, the man formerly known as Prince Andrew, now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was arrested on his 66th birthday last month.
Police arrested Mountbatten-Windsor at his residence on the Sandringham Estate on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Andrew’s friendship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein also saw him stripped of all royal titles – including his birthright title of Prince.
At the time of Andrew’s arrest, Charles issued an unprecedented statement, saying: “I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.
“Let me state clearly: the law must take its course. As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all.”
During last week’s Commonwealth Day, as senior members of The Firm attended a service at Westminster Abbey, Charles was met with protests from an anti-monarchy group, Republic. The group displayed signs asking: “Charles, what did you know?” Both Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla, have been consistently heckled during royal engagements following Andrew’s arrest.
