Why did King Charles release a formal letter about Prince Harry now?
You're
listening
to a Mamma Mia podcast. Why has the letter come out now and why has it been done publicly rather than just saying, oh, look, by
the way? Because it's been two weeks since Harry and Meghan said they were coming back. The interest has been insane. The hysterical royal watchers I referenced earlier are using this as a reason to say that the king has lost control.
What does the letter reveal about the royal family’s stance on Harry’s return?
We talk about him a lot, but Tom Sykes, he's a royal reporter who has a big megaphone. He's been saying this is the most disorganized, terribly handled crisis in the royal family since Diana. Like, I really think that's hyperbole. I think this is two people moving back to the UK. Do we remember the interview that Andrew did?
How are royal watchers interpreting the king’s statement as a crisis?
Exactly. As we should always keep remembering, there is a man in the royal family who the king has had to deal with belatedly, who has very serious allegations against him. These people are just like, we don't like them. Don't mean me. I mean, lots of people.
Will Prince Harry and Meghan receive public funding for their security?
So I think the king had no choice than to make a statement because of the pressure. And probably to your point, M, William would also like it to be acknowledged that nothing is shifting. So I think that. But to be honest, the people who are really upset are going to continue to be really upset. The other question they want answered that he doesn't really explain is are they going to get any public money to help with their security?
Why does the episode suggest the king could personally fund their protection?
So that's going to be the next thing that the royal watches are going to be hysterical about. And the king sort of is saying in this statement, no, this is an arrangement like a private citizen. But the king has shed loads of money. He is a very, very, very rich man. So there is no reason why he couldn't personally give them money, not from the public purse, but himself to keep them safe, which I think would be perfectly reasonable.
