According to a recent report, King Charles is hesitant to confront Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, causing concerns that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may overshadow his coronation on May 6.
Royal biographer Tom Bower alleges that the king is "paralyzed by fear and indecision" when it comes to dealing with the couple, despite their controversial statements against the royal family.
An unnamed royal courtier claimed that King Charles is avoiding any confrontations with Harry and Meghan, fearing a bitter battle. "Charles will do anything to avoid a confrontation with Harry and Meghan. He's downright terrified! But by dithering, he's exposed his huge weakness - he hates tackling problems head-on," the courtier stated.
Instead of addressing the situation, King Charles has reportedly invited Prince Harry and Meghan to the coronation. However, this concession has allegedly led to further demands from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
A source told National Enquirer, "They're said to be demanding an official role in the ceremony for their kids, Lilibet and Archie, who celebrates his fourth birthday on Coronation Day. I hear the couple wants a place on the Buckingham Palace balcony, usually reserved for working royals, which the Sussexes no longer are."
The king now finds himself in a difficult position. "If he caves in to the Sussexes, he'll lose the respect of the British people and also members of his own family who no longer trust the couple. If he bans them, they'll just continue their public treachery and deceit, setting themselves up as victims as they level more attacks on him and the royals," the source explained.
King Charles is also said to have avoided meeting Prince Harry during his visit to London's High Court in March. Instead, the king stayed at his country estate Highgrove, claiming he was "too busy" to see his son.
Tom Bower warns that the monarch is on a "dangerous path," stating, "Talk of reconciliation is a mirage. Harry and Meghan will settle for nothing less than total capitulation and victory." King Charles has not commented on these allegations, so fans of the royal family should take this information with caution until further confirmation is provided.
