Prince Harry and Father King Charles III's Ups and Downs Through ... (Us Weekly)

King Charles III and late ex Princess Diana welcomed their second son, Prince Harry, in 1984 — inside the king's ups and downs with Harry.

“The king, even when he was Prince of Wales, I think has made it very clear that he would, he would like a better relationship with the Duke of Sussex. We’ve made it to the other side.” That was the giveaway.” “I think the king has made it very clear that he wants to heal the rift. The former army captain alleged in Harry & Meghan that both Charles and William were unwilling to compromise after the trio were called to a meeting at Sandringham House in January 2020. At the end of the day, it’s only a uniform.” “And the key piece of that story that made me aware that the contents of the letter between me and my father had been leaked was that we were willing to relinquish our Sussex titles. As a result, the Invictus Games cofounder — who served in the British army for 10 years— was unable to wear his ceremonial uniform to the queen’s funeral events per Charles’ order. “It was like, ‘I need to do this for my family.’ This is not a surprise to anybody. “[He stopped] because, by that point, I took matters into my own hands,” Harry said during the tell-all interview. I don’t think it would happen today.” He continued: “I will always love him, but there’s a lot of hurt that’s happened.

Catholics under King Charles III (Irish Post)

And it would be hard to escape the conclusion that it was the fear of Irish rebellion – and prejudice against Irish Catholics too – which kept the social order so resolutely anti-Catholic. But for the monarchy itself, the seedbed of anti-Catholic barriers arguably lay with the Hanoverian succession: perhaps more than fifty legitimate Stuart claimants to the throne had been passed over to find a Protestant candidate, Sophia, Electress of Hanover. But as Antonia Fraser writes, it wasn’t just that Catholics scared the British Establishment; it was Ireland, that “millstone” which might have the capacity to upset so much of the social order. Queen Victoria, when she came to the throne in 1837, did become more measured: she developed a close friendship with the devoutly Catholic Empress Eugenie of France, who influenced her. When Prince Michael of Kent – first cousin to Queen Elizabeth II – married the Catholic Marie-Christine von Reibnitz in 1978, he was obliged to renounce his succession rights to the throne (he was then 15th in line), and their wedding had to be a discreet civil ceremony. In this article she considers the position of Catholics under the new Carlovian era.

Cheers for King Charles as he ignores Harry and Meghan (Daily Mail)

His Majesty was given a rockstar's welcome as he arrived at the JW3 Jewish community centre in Finchley Road, North London, as the Jewish community prepares ...

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank arriving for the 'Together at Christmas' Carol Service at Westminster Abbey in London. Spearheaded by Catherine, Princess of Wales, and supported by The Royal Foundation, this year's carol service is dedicated to Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Well-wishers bellowed 'We love you' to the embattled family. The Queen supposedly failed to intervene because her 'ultimate mission' was to protect 'the institution'. Harry said his brother began to 'scream and shout' at him during their meeting about moving abroad. Also present was Prince Michael of Kent and his wife Princess Michael. Given his and his wife's distaste for our constitutional monarchy, surely it is time for the Crown to accept his offer. The King waved furiously and grinned at the well-wishers. The title was given in anticipation of service to the Crown and country'. Indeed it was planned long before the documentary. It was a time, she had added, 'when we remember that God sent his only son to serve, not to be served'. They will not be dragged into a tit-for-tat row.'
