The date of Carlo’s coronation is approaching, and the answer to the invitation sent by Carlo and Camilla has finally arrived from Montecito, to which the Sussexes have set three conditions. Bye Harry chose to attend the ceremony alone, leaving Meghan, Archie and Lilibet at home. at court there is a sharp discussion about the future of the prince and, in particular, aboutthe ability to retain the title of Duke of Sussex or not. A burning question, especially in light of the latest statements contained in the memoirs Fire, in which the king’s son laid down with pen and paper a series of accusations against his father, but above all against his brother and daughter-in-law. Controversy aside, the real question being asked in London is whether Harry will lose his title as Duke of Sussex.
The indiscretion is reported by royal expert Robert Jobson, author of a new book. Our King: Charles III, who, after revealing the details of Harry’s “indispensability” in the war, instead of William, argues that in the “high spheres of the family” the current topic of the day is precisely the preservation of the title of duke for the second son of Charles. “The idea of stripping Harry of the title of Duke of Sussex was discussed at the highest level,” Jobson writes. “They say the king is out of favor, but other high-ranking members of the royal family are less forgiving. In the end, despite Charles’ enduring love for his son, he will come under increasing pressure if Harry continues to attack the monarchy.Another sign of relaxation on the part of Carlo, who reminisced about his rebellious son in his first televised speech in September and repeatedly tried unsuccessfully to mend his relationship with his second son.
Conscious that the deprivation of the dukedom may lead to a final rupture, Charles is determined to counter the opinion of the rest of the family, who instead see the current title as incompatible with the Prince’s departure. It must be said that since Megxit 2020, Harry and Meghan have kept in touch with many charities and participated in many initiatives launched in previous years, such as the Invictus Games. Enough, according to the couple, to claim the rights to the Duchy of Sussex. “As evidenced by their work over the past year, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain committed to their duty and service to the UK and around the world, and have offered their continued support to the organizations they represent, regardless of their official role,” he told reporters. Mirrors couple representative. “We can all live a life of service. The service is universal.
Had a different opinion Queen Elizabeth, who at that time effectively deprived her beloved nephew and his wife of honorary military posts and royal patronage.Including the patronage of the National Theater, the late sovereign offered the former actress in 2019, holding it for 45 years. An address similar to that reserved for Andrew, still Duke of York, but stripped of any other title and now out of favor in the realm.
It is no coincidence that none of the three of them will have the honor of looking out from the balcony of Buckingham Palace. An irrevocable decision for Carlo, next to whom on a great day will be Camilla, the heir to the throne William with his wife Kate and three children, his sister Anna with Admiral Timothy Lawrence and his brother Edoardo with his wife Sophie, the new Dukes of Edinburgh. With them will also be the Duke of Kent, Elizabeth’s cousin, and her sister, Princess Alexandra, and the Dukes of Gloucester. For them four this will be the last public performance, the final act of a long service dedicated to Elizabeth. and to the Crown. A number of working members of the royal family are thinning out – a sign that time is passing – and the next cut could only be for Harry and Meghan.
