King Charles’ recent gesture has reignited debate online, as scrutiny of certain royal family members continues to intensify.
The British monarch’s decision to extend an olive branch to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex is being called a bold move, with several royal commentators and historians warning it could create an unprecedented situation for the Crown.
It emerges after a new claim that Harry would saty at Bukingham Palace during his expected visit to the UK in September.
Reacting to the report, British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard claimed. “This is perceived as an olive branch by King Charles to slowly rebuild their relationship. However, will Prince Harry accept the invitation? There are murmurs that he has accepted it. Time will tell.”
She continued citing her palace sourse,”Staff at Buckingham Palace are against Harry staying. They feel immensely betrayed.”
She explained: “People are not going to forget that they hurled the royal family under the bus, creating lasting damage to the crown.
“Many wonder why King Charles is appeasing Harry.”
Chard believes the monarch appears willing to risk fresh royal tensions in pursuit of something he’s long wanted, telling Fox News: “Don’t get me wrong, reconciliation within the British royal family would be good as it makes the monarchy stronger.”
“I guess the optics of inviting Harry to Buckingham Palace are seen as a goodwill gesture, easing tensions with small steps forward, peace-wise,” Chard said. “It also skates over the endless divide within the family.”
The olive branch came after the Sussexes had a rare reunion with Charles during their visit to the UK in July.
British royals expert Hilary Fordwich told the outlet, “Prince William, meanwhile, remains wary and won’t want Harry at the palace.”
“The attitude of the Waleses, since they are the monarchy’s future, is pivotal. And with good reason, they don’t trust the Sussexes. King Charles’ approach could prove incendiary,” another expert Fitzwilliams told teh outlet.
