Prince Harry returns home to visit Charles, can he repair relations with William?
On February 6, Prince William must have had mixed feelings, both grieving and worrying about his father's illness. At the same time, he was bewildered by the challenges ahead and the inevitable sacrifices.
This scene is reminiscent of what happened to his beloved grandmother 70 years ago. Princess Elizabeth was only 25 years old at the time, and she was just a young mother. She succeeded to her father's throne by chance. At that time, she hoped to live happily with Prince Philip in the family, rather than the responsibility of inheriting the throne.
At that time, William was 16 years older than his grandmother and his children were all grown**, but he was still excited about his future. Although he has not yet become a king, his life will change in every way.
All the plans that William and Kate had orchestrated seemed to be confusing now. The king's poor health added to the uncertainties. Life has never been so lonely and so dangerous in the royal goldfish bowl. For William, he was under the added strain of his father's cancer**. Kate has just been discharged from abdominal surgery ** hospital and is not expected to be in the public eye until Easter. On February 7, William will return to work, canceling all appointments to take care of George, Charlotte and Louis.
It is unclear how much of his father's plan will be transferred to the crown prince. However, worryingly, Prince Harry decided to side with his father. Prince Harry is about to fly to the UK, but his appearance will also remind people of how ** the British royal family is after the death of Elizabeth II in 2022.
For the first time since his coronation last May, Harry met his father. It is clear that the Duke of Sussex does not have Meghan by his side, and the courtiers are very fond of him. However, there is one more question: will he go to see William? The brothers have reportedly been out of touch for months, and Harry's autobiography, "Spare," has ruined the relationship.
In a book published last year, Harry accused William of physically attacking her, and Kate sneered at her. William was faced with a new responsibility, and it was almost certain that his grandmother would react to this noble act. Decades ago, the queen showed the noble temperament in the face of fate, perhaps he can also gain strength from it. But the queen was able to do this because of her power. When Elizabeth succeeded to the throne in 1952, there was a great deal of reverence for his father, George VI, who had led the country through the dark years during the abdication crisis and World War II.
The royal family faced a great crisis, but William stood out. He and Kate have less than two years to adjust to a new life, and he hopes to bring a new life to the royal family. The family moved from London to Windsor, not only so that all three children could attend the same school, but also to ensure that they had a private space that they would not have had at Kensington Palace. When they moved to the countryside after becoming the Prince and Princess of Wales, they faced the same pressure.
"They live comfortably in Adelaide Villas in Windsor Park, but they need a lot of furniture to keep things running," the source said. Their staff still live in London, and meetings are often held at Windsor Castle. William and his father were very different people. Although Charles was as passionate about his views as William, Charles was actually more of a lobbyist, while William was not. He has basic interests, so he won't be distracted by other things like his father did.
What will he do? And, how did this change affect his relationship with Harry?
William had an energetic temperament, which some believe affected his personal image and popularity. William had the trait his father had come to expect for years, and that was public affection. Princess William inherited Diana's natural enthusiasm and confidence, and Kate's approachability added to her charm. Although they had been accused of making mistakes while traveling in the Caribbean regions such as Belize, Jamaica, and the Bahamas, the condemnation of the couple quickly dissipated.
Unlike Charles, he knew his future at a very young age. His former aides had said that "he knew nothing until he went to school", and the Queen began to teach him monarchical traditions and history at Windsor Castle and indoctrinated him with knowledge after meals, as is the tradition of Eton. Still, he tried to delay the inevitable as much as possible. After completing his military service after graduating from university, he joined the RAF as a search and rescue pilot before moving to a civilian air ambulance position. He had a completely different relationship with his father.
While Charles was busy with work, William enjoyed family life more. There is no doubt that it all is because of Kate's family background. It was at the Middleton home that William found the true meaning of family life. He hoped that his father would soon return to the happy life of his family as soon as he recovered, and many believed that doing so would make him a well-rounded modern monarch.
But there are two family issues that could have an impact on that perception: Andrew and Harry. Andrew was a staunch supporter of his father's position. But Harry doesn't think so.
Charles is concerned about the conflict between his two sons, and he wants to repair their relationship, but William sees trust as the foundation of all relationships, and this trust has been completely destroyed.
As soon as Harry arrives, William will put his resolve to the test. Over time, will he agree with Harry and reconcile with his father? Or do you want to maintain the status quo? Charles's physical condition and his recovery can make or break a match.
