The media has been reporting non-stop about Harry, ever since King Charles’s cancer diagnosis was revealed, when Harry responded saying he was coming to the UK to see his father. There may be concern by sinners that Harry has scored a major PR point, that he has been filmed with a motorcade of vehicles and police outriders that only important people have, that he is portraying himself as a caring son, and that this shows his willingness to undergo a reconciliation with the RF. I think however, it was the worst own-goal Harry could have kicked, and that he has mistakenly done his royal “brand” and his financial future great damage. What the world has seen through Harry’s visit, is that (i) Harry has actually mistreated his father quite badly, and (ii) Harry is no longer royal, and enjoys none of the privileges or connections of a member of the royal family. He is now a commoner. **Harry’s Mistreatment of Charles** Charles has been denied his moment in the spotlight. The King bravely shared with his subjects and the world that not even 2 years into his reign, he had been struck down with cancer. That important story warranted coverage for several days, as the nation and world came to understand what that might mean for Charles the man and the King, and for the sovereignty of Britain. It was a time that Charles could have taken comfort from the outpouring of love and regard focused purely on him. But Harry stole Charles’s story, and made it his own. Coverage was no longer focused on the King, it was focused on his idiot son. The Sussexes have a history of doing that. They wait until a RF member has something important in the papers, and they steal their thunder; it’s what they do. This was not accidental, Harry and his ILBW released his intention to fly to his father’s side so they would dominate the news, be seen as important, and cement their connection to the RF. The trip could all have been done completely silently and privately, but no, they went public. Then there is the issue of infection, and the fact that the King’s cancer treatment had already started, he had immediately withdrawn from public-facing duties to reduce the risk he may catch something whilst his immunity is compromised. A virus or an infection such as pneumonia whilst undergoing treatment could have serious, if not fatal consequences. What does Harry do? He travels through two filthy, germ-laden international airport terminals, and sits cheek-by-jowl with hundreds of other passengers on a commercial flight for over 10 hours, sharing a communal toilet. He then goes straight from the airport to be in the same room with his ill father. Then there is the absolute entitlement of saying to his elderly ill father, I’m coming whether you like it or not. I am certain once Harry communicated his plan to Charles’s office to set up the meeting, that he would have been told, “thank you, that’s not necessary”. But Harry went anyway. His poor ailing father had no choice. Charles was going to be subjected to a visit whether he wanted it or not. Some part of Harry may have wanted to see his father, but the main purpose (especially taking into account the PR Harry released) was to embellish Harry’s royal connections, and put him centre-stage with significant royal news. Then there is the fact Harry chose the most emotionally-intense way to engage with his father in light of the fact they had been estranged for years now, and had not spoken face to face since September 2022 at HMQEII’s funeral. It could have been a low key video call, made in private, that gave Charles some arms-length engagement with Harry, that would ramp down the emotional intensity. It would also have given Charles the ability to end the video call when he had had enough. No such luck. Harry was going to be in Charles’s face, in the same room, making it more difficult for Charles to extract himself. And for those who have concerns about Meghan listening in to a video call, there are simple solutions like Harry attending the British Embassy where a private room would have been given over to him to make the call. In another move to take all Charles’s agency from him, Harry knowingly and purposely released his plans so it would be plastered all over the newspapers, television, radio, and social media. This meant his father had no choice but to see Harry. To refuse to see Harry would have meant that Charles was put in a negative light, refusing to see his son who had selflessly flown thousands of miles to see his ailing father in his time of need. Any positive press coverage of Charles would have been tainted by negative spin in Harry’s favour. Charles was between a rock and a hard place, and he had to agree to the meeting. **No Longer Royal**. The own-goal is because the world has now seen, irrefutably, that Harry is no longer considered royal by the RF. * He does not warrant a motorcade and police outriders. Harry was only given the motorcade from the Airport because Charles having just had a cancer treatment in London, was due to fly to Sandringham to retreat there and recuperate. Time was of the essence because Charles had already had to wait an hour, so authorising a motorcade for Harry meant that high speed could be used and traffic lights against them would be turned to red so Harry would get there as fast as possible. After the visit and when the need for speed had gone, there was no motorcade and police outriders for Harry and he had to drive haltingly under normal frustrating peak hour traffic conditions to a London hotel. * He did not qualify for royal protection during his time in London. There were no armed British police for him at his side or in his hotel, just his own private unarmed goons from the USA. * The King did not have a meal with Harry, or invite him to go to Sandringham with him, or to stay in Charles’s London home Clarence House, or even ask him to doss down in a high-security room on a royal estate or in a palace. No accommodation or hospitality was given to Harry as all. He stayed in a chain hotel in London alongside hundreds of American and Chinese tourists. * The meeting with Charles was very short,from Harry’s arrival to departure it was 45-50 minutes but take away the time it would take to greet Harry, put him in a waiting room, inform a flunky he had arrived, go back to Harry and relocate him to a Reception Room, have a flunky come and greet him, then the flunky inform the King, then have the King come down to the room, it may have been as short as 15-20 minutes. * Harry let it be known he would be willing to meet William. William did not engage at all, because his brother is no longer in his view, a member of the royal family. * The same day that Harry flew back to the USA with his tail between his legs, William is pictured in full military uniform and royal glory in a palace, bestowing awards on worthy citizens. He then attends a glamorous charity event in London in a black velvet dinner jacket, smiling and laughing with Tom Cruise, both of them real and courageous pilots. The newspaper headline about William and Tom? A play on Tom’s move Top-Gun, declaring that William is Charles’s Top-Son. Harry is now, and for ever more an outsider, a commoner, and what’s more, one that can’t be trusted. Any royal stardust he may have had, has well and truly blown away. That’s the end of Sussex Royal folks.
