Part 1 of 2

The King of England reportedly “denied” a photo opportunity with Prince Harry during the Duke of Sussex’s recent trip to the U.K. A man deemed a royal biographer has explained why this is the case.

As a new development in the King Charles III and Prince Harry relationship saga, a royal biographer has weighed in on the reason why the King has not met with his son this week. Tom Bower has claimed that the monarch’s decision has less to do with his busy schedule and is more so a result of denying the Sussexes an opportunity to garner positive PR.

According to Tom, “The King and his advisors have seen this for what it really is. It’s all about boosting the brand which is suffering terribly.” He then went on to say, “Harry was desperate for a photo opportunity for the King […] The King has denied him of that, and rightly so.”

The biographer explained that Prince Harry’s alleged desperation to take a photo with his father is because he and Meghan Markle are set to head to Nigeria after his stay in the U.K. Aside from the fact that Meghan’s mom’s family is reportedly Nigerian, the couple are traveling there to play their “royal card,” as Tom puts it.

“She is going to play the Duchess there and play the Royal Family,” stated Tom. Speaking about Prince Harry’s motives for the photo op with King Charles III, Tom explained that the Prince wanted a photo “so he could get to Nigeria and say ‘I come here as a member of the Royal Family.'”

He then went on about his belief that Prince Harry and his wife are “exploiting the misery in London” and “putting William and Kate in a terrible light.” “Rightly Buckingham Palace decided ‘we’re not going to play their game’ on this occasion,” Tom finished.

Public reactions to Tom’s statements have largely been in agreeance with the royal biographer. “Completely agree. Nothing [Meghan] and Lapdog do is without a (not so hidden) agenda,” commented a social media user.

Another added, “Brilliant Tom – saying the things that most if not [the] majority are thinking. ??????????.” “LOL. These rejected suitors are hilarious. But it is also embarrassing…. From the pics I see H got his photo ops,” said someone else.

Although many sided with Tom, some people felt differently. “King Charles showed the world why he’s not fit to lead or to be the head of the church. Pettiness and unforgivableness are ugly traits,” wrote an X user.

Referencing the assertion that King Charles III has been “toughening up” when it comes to dealing with his youngest son, another person expressed, “‘Toughen up.’ Not making any time for his son, only goes to show how petty he is!” A Prince Harry supporter gushed, “I’ve been away all day but it’s just lovely to see Harrymania in the UK. Prince Harry is a rockstar ⭐? We love you Harry! ❤️”
