This whole situation makes the King look incredibly weak.
Forget the palace spin. Forget the headlines. Forget the public relations.
Your own son has to question whether it’s safe to bring his wife and children to the country he served in uniform.
Think about that for a second.
Prince Harry served his country in Afghanistan. He dedicated years of his life to public service. Yet here we are, once again, debating whether his family can safely visit the United Kingdom.
Their grandfather is the King.
Meanwhile, reports continue that King Charles is privately helping provide accommodations for his brother, Prince Andrew—a man whose association with Jeffrey Epstein and the allegations against him helped create one of the biggest scandals the monarchy has faced in decades.
That’s the contrast people see.
You can debate constitutional limits. You can debate RAVEC. You can debate who technically signs off on security.
But leadership isn’t just about legal authority.
It’s about priorities.
And if your own son has to publicly wrestle with whether it’s safe to bring your grandchildren to their grandfather’s country, that reflects on the institution whether Buckingham Palace likes it or not.
I also can’t ignore the timing of all this.
Every day there’s another headline about uncertainty. Another story about security. Another anonymous briefing. Another round of speculation.
Then if Harry arrives with Meghan and the children under appropriate security, watch what happens.
Suddenly the headlines become:
“The King found a way.”
“The King extended an olive branch.”
“The King stepped in.”
That’s great public relations.
But I don’t think the palace—or the press pushing these narratives—realizes the flip side.
It doesn’t make the King look compassionate.
It makes people ask why it ever reached this point.
Why should there have been years of public uncertainty over the safety of the King’s own son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren?
You can spin that however you want.
To me, it doesn’t project strength.
It projects weakness.
It makes the institution look small.
And it makes the King look like a man who has never convincingly shown the world that protecting his own family is a priority. @RoyalFamily
This was 6years ago, With all the new information they have about Prince Andrew, but Meghan…
Queen Lizzy & King Charles helped pay off Andrew’s victim, and William having a business with Epstein’s friend but it’s all Meghan the media want to talk about.
Ben Meiselas: Donald Trump's DOJ is arguing that the US government has the right to destroy the Statue of Liberty, and there would be no recourse for any courts or for Congress, because once you destroy it, if you can rush to destroy it the way the Trump regime destroyed the East Wing, there's no more remedy that you have. This is real.
@Mr_Husky1 His wife, Lisa, used donations to build the Todd Beamer Student Center at Wheaton College near Chicago. His name will always be honored at their Alma-mater! Much love to the Beamer family.
@krassenstein These comments about her Doctorate are ridiculous. There is a difference between a PhD and an MD. It means you spent an extra 7-8 years of education to become a specialist in your field. It can be Medicine or it can be another field. Without PhD’s, most research would not occur.
@DailyMail Every single time you—The Daily Fail is called out for bullying Meghan, you label it as an attack on Will & Kate. 🤣🤣
There is no invisible contract. It’s visible. You are them and they are you.
This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books.
We need more of this from our electeds.
We all come to hear Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band sing and play as only they can, but in Newark on April 21 the Boss shared his own joy at hearing the home state Jersey crowd sing "Hungry Heart." Proof positive that in gatherings such as this, we fill each other's needs
