Revealed the enmity between Carlos III and Boris Johnson

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson he faced the king Charles III when he was Prince of Wales because he expressed his condemnation of the government’s plan to extradite immigrants and refugees to Rwanda. Johnson’s chief communications adviser made the announcement in a podcast on Tuesday, in which he revealed the strained relationship between the politicians Tory with the current monarch.

According to adviser Guto Harri, the conflict took place in Rwanda, the host of the Commonwealth summit in June 2022. Despite not having decisive ties with the British metropolis, in 2009 the African country entered the Commonwealth of Territories, which for the most part had historical, initially colonial, connections with the United Kingdom.

Since Queen Elizabeth II was already ill and left her son to represent the crown in events that required a long journey, Carlos acted as the leader of the summit of heads of government and state in Kigane. Johnson, the prime minister at the time, handed over the executive chairmanship of the summit to Paul Kagame, the president of Rwanda.

The prince received those present privately, and in the one he held with Johnson, for about fifteen minutes, “they talked well”, the former prime minister told reporters at the time. But his spokesman now says Johnson actually assured him that he The prince “came in sharply” as he called the extradition policy “abnormal”.

On June 10, a week before the start of the program of the Commonwealth Summit, Time and Daily mail They published similar articles claiming that the Prince of Wales had repeatedly shown his rejection of government policy in private conversations. Spokesmen for Carlos III declined to comment.

The current monarch has given meaning to his more than six decades of succession to the throne by ruling on issues that have to do with politics. Because of this, she caused controversy. According to Gut Harri, his boss would “settle scores” with the prince, who would warn him that it was obvious that his advisers would end the controversy with a resolute denial.

“Johnson’s Friends”which is the British media’s way of covering up the former Prime Minister when he does not want to appear as the author of the statement, they told the journalists everything Harri says is a lieand that Johnson considers it “regrettable” that the custom of not publishing private conversations between politicians and the royal family is being broken.

This has already happened with another of Johnson’s close associates, his right-hand man in the cabinet, Michael Gove. Journalist from Time In the past, he was highlighted as a perfidious hand that leaked the news to that newspaper that Queen Elizabeth II. Brexit. He would express this, according to the news, at a dinner. The Royal House vehemently rejected the statement and denied any position on Brexit.

Harri’s commercial interest in promoting his podcast is unquestionable, but the moment chosen to write an article in the E-mail and walking on the radio is political. It happened this Tuesday morning in which the country woke up without the splendor of the coronation of Carlos III. The revelation sounds like opportunism from Harry with the support of Johnson, who with his warning to the king still sees himself as a conservative leader.

There are reasons for constitutional animosity. The former head of government would ask the prince to change his speech to the Commonwealth summit, in which he spoke about the impact of slavery. The former Prime Minister did not want the Royal House to stir up the relevance of the matter which is giving rise to claims for compensation for historical damage. But the prince gave the speech he had prepared.
