The United Kingdom’s royal drama is no big deal of news. Since time immemorial, the Crown has been grasped by some of the most contentious controversies that they could not come out of anytime soon. Most audiences are under the notion that it’s the Duke and Duchess of Sussex who takes the top helm in the Royal family. However, when it comes to disputes and agreements, there is actually much more than what meets the eye. Prince Harry loves his estranged family and would want to reconcile whenever possible. Nonetheless, he does not let go of a chance to strip the royal family of its darkest secrets.

King Charles intervened into Investigations by Prince Harry into the AGN Papers

This time around, the Prince said it all about how the Palace itself had not come to terms with him to do justice to the damage created. As reported by the Guardian, the transcript of the Duke speaking at the witness box vividly shows how King Charles’ personal decisions stymied his efforts to take on the newspapers. According to the Prince himself, even the former Monarch, Queen Elizabeth had lent her support to back Prince Harry in the decision. 

Nonetheless, “King Charles intervened,” read the outlet, revealing how and why the present monarch never gave in his full consent to the course case. According to him, he now finally finds the reason why the Clarence House had completely turned its back on the Sussexes when they needed them the most. “They had a specific long-term strategy to keep the media onside in order to smooth the way for my stepmother (and father) to be accepted by the British public,” affirmed the Prince in open court.

Thus, anything that posed a potential threat to their already falling popularity and relevance amongst the masses was a complete no-no from King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla. “This was all because of the secret agreement which had been reached between NGN and the institution,” said the Duke. The agreement was such that, “there would be no actions until the end of the litigation,” affirmed Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex.
