  • Is Prince Harry sabotaging the King’s plans for a slimmed down monarchy? | Palace Confidential. Prince Harry’s decision to give his children titles may have disrupted his father’s vision for the Royal Family, but the King may yet have a trick up his sleeve. That’s the view of Daily Mail Diary Editor Richard Eden. A couple of days after the announcement from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that their children Archie and Lilibet would be known as prince and princess, Buckingham Palace announced that Prince Edward would be promoted to the Duke of Edinburgh. The King ‘didn’t intend’ to give the title to his brother as part of his wider plans to ‘slim down the monarchy’, Eden tells our royal talkshow Palace Confidential. ‘But then, when Harry and Meghan started using the Prince and Princess titles for their children, it became clear this wasn’t going to happen and then King Charles could hardly justify not giving Prince Edward the title he’d been promised by their parents,’ he says. ‘It was a big deal and I really think that was behind it.’

      *If Britain 🇬🇧 going to keep the Farce going; the crown 👑 should be passed across instead of passed down. Prince Edward should be crowned as the New King of the British Monarch. Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles are too wicked, disgraceful, and are not suitable or worthy to be crowned King and Queen Consort. It is a shame! Prince Harry should not want to attend the Coronation of two (2) people that technically caused his mother's early demise. William and Kate has been exposed as Racists, William cheated with Rose Hanbury on Kate. William physically attacked Prince Harry, and tried to Bully Meghan. What a mess! I hope Harry won't go. They really don't want him or Meghan to come in the first place. Harry should remember that it was a reason the Queen's ornament fell off the Christmas 🎄 tree and broke all to pieces. He should forget the Monarchy, and cling to his wife.*

      In later years, perhaps. But she had to deal with all sorts of family problems too, from Princess Margaret's behaviour to three of her four children divorcing, two of them with loads of scandal attached. Not to mention Philip's regular faux pas, that we laugh at now but not so much at the time. And she didn't always get it right and she wasn't always as loved and admired as she became. In fact, Diana's death and everything around it was a far lower point for the monarchy than the silliness of Harry and Meghan. It just seems different at the moment because Charles is new to it and has lots of decisions to make, but it'll settle down after a bit. So far I think he's doing well!

      Difficult lol, Charles is useless, a bad tempered narcissistic brat, an adulterer, as indeed is part of Royal life, they only marry for Heirs, to keep the family going, and a WEF globalist, and I'm sure he'll have many minions running around for him. The Monarch's first duty is to the Crown, the Firm, the institution, and most certainly not their so called subjects. The late Queen served the Crown, the Firm, to keep it relevant.

      All in good time - after the coronation no doubt a considered plan and strategy will unfold, legislatively framed to strip gradually all non working Royals of the privilege of title/s. Note Denmark Sweden & Dutch Royals demonstrating a progressive modernised approach in maintaining relevance by removing titles from grand children previously titled Prince & Princess. In the instance of the British Royals: "The King in time shall giveth & indeed taketh away" in times of economic rationalisation and relevance - that privilege to be seen and enjoyed is duty bound, and must be earned.

    Such a joyous celebration of the new Duchess of Edinburgh. Sophie has embraced her role in the Royal Family with such enthusiasm and dedication. So many photos of her laughing! What touches me most were her genuinely loving and close relationships with the late Queen and Prince Phillip, which makes these new titles for Edward and Sophie so much more meaningful. Congratulations to the both of them. Thoroughly deserved!!! Thanks also to Jo, Rebecca and Richard for your always erudite, thoughtful and entertaining examination of royal news. And Rebecca and Richard were color coordinated too! You really are the Daily Mail's Dream Team! (Joanne, Melbourne, Australia)

There is growing republican sentiment in the UK and bringing more faces forward, especially those that are not fully perceived as royal family, only garners more support for this movement. I especially don’t think Charles needs to be handing out a lot of titles to new faces if he wants to maintain support. Edward and Sophie have earned this respect and it seems well received by the public thus far.

    I have to admit that I ‘teared up’ watching the montage of The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh knowing how blessed Queen Elizabeth II found herself in the company of this lovely family. Sofie was present for enjoyable companionship. Their son and daughter are well mannered, industrious and live close to Windsor Castle making them welcome and available for visits with their grandmother. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburghs made themselves available for official service in the name of the Monarchy often. The Queen could depend on them to make her life more enjoyable, without any drama.

      @sandybydesign1629 No offence, but most of your remarks aren't correct
      even members of the family who live close to Windsor Castle cannot just pop in
      when the Monarch is there, appointments have to be made
      and Edward and Sophie are available for official service because they are working royals and our late Queen could not always depend on them
      and they caused drama
      Edward and Sophie wanted to carry on with their careers, but they still used their HRH and performed some royal duties
      they were part time royals, it was the first time it had been done and it was a disaster
      all but one of Edward's documentaries was about royalty or Palaces, but his company lost money every year
      he was always accused of using his royal connections
      and he took advantage of being William's uncle
      Sophie was set up by a journalist and she said some very indiscreet and disrespectful things
      she had to apologise to our Queen, the Prime Minister and to others for her remarks
      and our late Queen had a number of Ladies in Waiting whose main role was to provide companionship, who were with her all day

    I think Tom Bower's next book will draw a lot more American attention. He certainly has a ton of material and is a talented writer - with an impeccably truthful reputation!

    It would have been a disaster for RF if Charles did not include Sophie and Edward as they have been very valuable to the monarchy. The grifters need to have their titles stripped..

    So well deserved Duchess Sophie. I had tears coming when she was looking at the crown on the coffin with Princess Catherine.

    Ohmygoodness Jo! The “this smells like my crown” candle comment took me completely off guard (and Rebecca’s reaction was just wonderful lol) I couldn’t stop laughing for the remainder of the show! Love the three of you 💕

    Titles: King Charles probably sees examples in other monarchies where royal titles are not automatically given to children: in the Netherlands, the children of Prince Constantijn are earl and countess. The same in Denmark for the children of Prince Joachim; their royal titles have been taken away recently. That's slimming down the monarchy and makes the life of the people that are not closest to the monarch easier.

    I am quite sure the late Queen would have given very strict instruction regarding her will and how things need to be executed sensibly.

    • @talwaravi
      @talwaravi ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Will will be sealed for 90 years and even then will not detail actual private family matters. Sir Clive and Sir Edward would have taken care of her instructions with the Kings people directly. They key thing was for it to go Monarch to Monarch so not inheritance tax would be incurred
