The book “The fight of the brothers. The Battle of the Brothers: William, Harry, and the Inside Story of a Family in Tumult. Why?
– I don’t know if the House is angry, but their official response is ‘No comment!’ I sent some of the most controversial chapters to Buckingham Palace first. Usually this means good cooperation. The Chamber can criticize, present its version of events, that is my opinion.
But this time the envelope with an extract from the manuscript returned unopened. This is not a book the House would like to get involved in one way or another, the accompanying letter says. Then the royal family opened the wall of silence.
I don’t judge him personally, because the queen has always acted like this, as if nothing happened until the problem could no longer be ignored.
This was already the case at that time due to the relationship between his son Carlos (72) and his wife’s late Diana (1961-1997) ”, Lacey, whose wife was even a bridesmaid during Queen Elizabeth II (94 ) m. ) coronation ceremony.
– But the new season of Netflix’s historical drama The Crown, on which you are a consultant, has caused a lot of controversy in the UK and panic at Buckingham Palace. After all, at the 78th edition of the prestigious Golden Globes for television and film, the latest season of The Crown, which tells the story of the British royal family, has seen three statuettes.
– The first three series featured coronations, weddings and royal babies. This, of course, did not bother anyone. But now it touches many old wounds.
This is especially true in the case of Prince Charles and Camilla (73).
Many of Charles’s friends, who are actually Camilla’s friends, are protesting this.
He seems to be speeding towards the future of the Queen. And everyone suddenly remembered who she was and how she got to that position.
But the sight of Queen Camillos driving a golden carriage in the center of London Street towards Buckingham Palace is not entirely attractive.
“And what about the criticism of the series from the field of Prince Charles?”
– There is no doubt that Charles was unfaithful to his first wife before Diana had a lover. Prince Charles’s explanation has always been, “I went back to Camilla when my marriage finally fell apart.”
I reviewed twelve major books on Charles and his marriage crisis. And only three agree with his version.
The authors of the other nine books believe he was unfaithful to Diana until 1986, when he dated Camilla again.
All those details, the bracelet that Charles ordered for Camilla before their wedding, Diana’s brunch with Camilla, they told Diana! It doesn’t take much to invent to create a tense drama out of all of this.
– Now, in the palace, the blessing of the future queen moves in an unexpected direction.
– Or in the language of the palace it means: “The prince’s friends made it clear that …” That is, to sharpen knives. Buckingham Palace sees that Camilla’s future status is in jeopardy. The idea of King Charles III and Queen Camilla reminds many of the tyranny of an inherited monarchy: we have no right to say who will be the next head of our state.
In countries like Great Britain and members of the Commonwealth (formerly the Commonwealth of Nations), which are dominated by multiethnic ethnicity, the problem is that our head of state is white, from an Anglo-Saxon family. And that, obviously, it is impossible for a woman from an ethnic minority ever to assume this position.
– You mean Meghan Markle.
– Therefore, in May 2018, the entire nation welcomed the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan (39), which testified that the Royal Palace at Windsor is taking a new course and paving the way for dark skin.
Almost three years later, we have reached a point where neither this woman nor her son has a royal title. It is therefore not surprising that Barbados, one of the 16 Commonwealth countries whose head of state is still the queen, has announced its desire to become a republic. And Jamaica appears to be following a similar path.
– Do you think this could lead to the collapse of the Commonwealth of Nations, the queen’s pride?
– I wouldn’t dare say that. It makes perfect sense for nations to belong to the Commonwealth of Nations. But this old belief about a white queen, a head of state, is definitely a thing of the past.
– And is it about Meghan?
– Yes. I think she’s a factor in this development.
As a result, as I was told, there was a great panic at Buckingham Palace. Of course, this is not officially stated.
But why should a country like New Zealand, whose formal ruler is Queen Elizabeth II, be replaced in the 21st century by Charles and Camilla? After all, this is a completely outdated view that does not fit the present.
– Do you think racism influenced Meghan and Harry’s decision to leave the UK?
– I think the Queen supported the possibility of admitting a dark-skinned woman into the royal family. And Meghan has never accused the House of being racist. The House did not accept the way Meghan consulted her American advisers. But it has nothing to do with racism.
A completely different image prevailed on social media. The racist attacks that spilled over there were at times deliberately malicious. I think these attacks contributed to Meghan and Harry’s discontent as they both drifted away from the UK.
“Don’t you think Meghan and Harry stole William and Catherine’s attention, figuratively?”
– Definitely. It is reminiscent of a classic western, where the words “This town is too small for both of us” are often heard.
Until then, Harry was obviously pleased with the role of the Fool of the House and later the Supplement. But then Meghan appeared and insisted that Harry should raise his poster of ambitions higher.
Meghan has a lot in common with Harry’s mother, Diana. The American stubbornness of the House remains a problem that cannot be ignored. Meghan walks, figuratively, through the same minefields as Diana.
– But Meghan, unlike young Diana, is not naive. Can they be compared at all?
– A better comparison would probably be Japanese-born artist Yoko Ono (87). An alien with unconventional behavior who stole the British music icon John Lennon (1940-1980)!
But the role of Meghan (she was the only one who did not inherit from the royal family and made millions herself) raises an important question about the future of the monarchy: is there room for a free soul?
Meghan has too political ideas for a family forced to adhere to neutrality. William was probably the only one who understood this immediately. And one day it turns out that in a dispute with Harry over his position, William used harsh words.
– After the departure of Meghan and Harry, William and Catherine (39) are once again the center of the royal family.
– In the eyes of the British, they are now almost religious figures who ensure the future of the monarchy. And Harry and Meghan are considered scapegoats for the siblings’ struggle.
– How do you imagine the role of Prince William?
– William basically jumped once, that is, his father, Prince Charles, who rebelled against the queen’s austerity.
William is more like a queen because he was approached after a televised interview with his famous mother, Diana, when he lost trust in his parents, who were playing with each other.
You will lose all honorary titles
Britain’s Prince Harry will lose his honorary military appointments and sponsorship because he confirmed to Queen Elizabeth II last week that he and his wife, MMle, will not return as serving royals.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shook the British monarchy a year ago by relinquishing the most important duties of members of the royal family. The spouses began a new life beyond the Atlantic: they settled in California and participated in activities that involved various commercial businesses.
“The Queen confirmed that it was not possible to continue to carry out the duties and responsibilities related to the life of public service by resigning from the royal family. Therefore, the honorary military appointments and royal guardian titles held by the Duke and Duchess will be returned to His Majesty and then redistributed among the working members of the royal family, ”said Buckingham Palace.
Prince Harry, a former soldier, holds several honorary military titles, as well as Commonwealth posts and other endorsement titles.
Meghan also received several honorary roles after her and the prince’s fabulous wedding at Windsor Castle in May 2018.
But lately, fans of Meghan and Prince Harry have been wondering if their second child to see the world this year will be an American or British citizen. Because Meghan is a US citizen and Harry is a British citizen, your son or daughter can obtain dual citizenship no matter where they were born.
UK citizenship is automatically transferred to children born in and out of the UK. Born in May 2019 in a London hospital, the couple’s first child, Archie, also acquired dual citizenship on both sides.
Meghan will likely give birth to her second child in California and he will acquire dual citizenship, but will have different rights. He will be able to run for president of the United States in the future, unlike his older brother, who was born in Great Britain.
