The loud silence of the palace – Prince Harry wants crisis meeting That’s what we know about the German army’s new assault rifle

After the release of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s Netflix documentary series with serious accusations against the royals, the royals demonstratively rely on normalcy. The renegade couple will still be invited to Charles’s coronation next year, the Telegraph quoted a royal insider source over the weekend as saying. “All members of the family will be welcome,” it said.

Charles has been the new British monarch since the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II, but he will not be officially crowned until May 6, 2023 in a festive ceremony. On the same day, Archie, the son of Harry and Meghan, celebrates his fourth birthday. The family of four, which also includes little Lilibet (1), now lives in California.

In the Netflix docuseries called “Harry & Meghan”, which was released in full a few days ago, the couple again made accusations against the palace. His father Charles told the untruth and his brother Prince William yelled at him, says Harry (38) on camera, looking back on the discussions about his departure from the royal family. He and Meghan (41) also accused the palace of deliberately giving the media negative or false information about them.

The Telegraph wrote that the royal family does not intend to comment publicly on the allegations. People want to maintain dignity and not insist on having the last word, the newspaper said.

In the days after the documentary was released, the royals instead displayed normalcy and composure. At a Christmas concert at Westminster Abbey hosted by Princess Kate, the whole family met, radiant and in matching festive outfits, among fairy lights and the Christmas tree for Christmas carols. With a visit to a Jewish community center, Charles once again underlined his claim that he also wanted to be monarch for members of other religions. On Friday, he danced exuberantly with Holocaust survivors – including 93-year-old Eva Schloss, a stepsister of Anne Frank, who became famous for her diary.

Harry and Meghan seem unwilling to comment, but are unhappy with the royal family’s intention to remain silent. The two “would like to meet,” a source close to the couple told The Times (Sunday). Harry and Meghan believe that the palace applies double standards: after accusations of racism against a former lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth II, the royal family had arranged a meeting between her and the black activist who had made the accusations. The lady-in-waiting apologized privately and publicly for her comments and resigned.

“Nothing of the sort has been done as Harry and Meghan have expressed their concerns – no meeting, no official apology, no one has taken responsibility. It’s hard to swallow,” the source quoted from the couple’s circle told the paper. .

There was also initially no official statement from the palace. However, a royal insider source told The Times: “If you want to contact the king, you know where he lives.”

At Christmas, Charles wants to throw a big party at the Sandringham estate, where according to the “Sun”, his wife’s family will be present for the first time. “It’s important to Camilla that her family is there, especially as Charles isn’t having his youngest son,” a Sandringham insider told The Sun. Andrew, on the other hand, who no longer takes on public duties after his involvement in the abuse scandal surrounding the late American multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein, would be there, unlike Harry and Meghan.

At least from a financial point of view, Andrew seems calmer: according to the “Telegraph”, the royal king is said to have sold his chalet in Switzerland. Meanwhile, Andrew’s sales efforts were complicated by his legal battle against American Virginia Giuffre. Andrew had reached a multimillion-dollar settlement in February with Giuffre, who had accused him of repeatedly molesting her when she was a minor – which he himself denied.

For the royals, the next wave of accusations is likely to come shortly after the holiday: Prince Harry has announced the publication of his memoirs for January 10 – and is reportedly willing to give further interviews beforehand. (sda/dpa)
