»Wills, Kate, and Charles cheered after bitter Harry’s book«
Following Prince Harry’s explosive tell-all Spare, which dropped a series of “truth bombs” on the Royal Family and sent the House of Windsor into its biggest crisis in decades, a beaming William and Kate and a joking King Charles today participated in their first public appearances.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, who are at the center of the bitter spat between the Sussexes and Megxit, arrived in Liverpool to launch a new hospital to a rousing welcome from royal admirers.
The King visited a foodbank and regional charities over the border at the Aboyne and Mid Deeside Community Shed in Aberdeenshire, where he patted dogs and met with volunteers.
Charles met with charity workers, patted dogs, and was even spotted laughing with them as he expressed his wish that they wouldn’t get too chilly. He also thanked them for attending.
The King spoke to an Australian lady in the audience outside, “Send my love to Australia.”
William has been the target of criticism from his younger brother, who even claimed in Spare that the future king punched him and threw him on the ground by the collar after a heated argument after William dubbed Meghan “difficult,” “rude,” and “aggressive”
Harry proceeded to criticize his elder brother for his part in Megxit in interviews with US and UK networks, which is alleged to have incensed William.
It comes after news that senior royals want to exclude the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from this year’s Coronation of the King. Charles, meanwhile, is concentrating on state visits to France and Germany while maintaining a “keep calm and carry on” attitude in the face of the backlash against his son’s memoir.
As they left Windsor Castle’s grounds, William spoke merrily with the Princess of Wales, giving no indication that he was still upset.
The Prince and Princess of Wales afterwards went to the brand-new Royal Liverpool University Hospital, which opened in October 2022 and took the place of the previous hospital, which had been a part of the neighborhood for more than 40 years.
The Prince and Princess will tour a ward to observe the hospital’s latest amenities during their visit. They will recognize the employees, which includes support workers and mental health first responders, who worked at the hospital throughout the hectic winter season. Some members of the critical care team that His Royal Highness spoke with through video chat in 2020, during the Covid-19 epidemic, will also be present.
According to the Standard, the King is reportedly putting the finishing touches on two state trips scheduled for the end of March. He will be joined by Queen Consort Camilla on his first state trips of his reign.
‘These two trips to our closest and most powerful European neighbors are enormously significant for strengthening our diplomatic and deeper connections with these nations,’ a senior official told the newspaper.
Our King and the Royal Family excel at this kind of soft power diplomacy, as do they. The King and the working royals will continue to do what is vital, working for our great kingdom for the people of our wonderful country, once all the commotion goes down, which it will.
Publisher Penguin Random House claims that Harry’s contentious autobiography, Spare, has sold more than 1.4 million copies on its first day of sales, making it the fastest-selling non-fiction book in history.
In Spare, reports of a strained connection between Meghan and Kate were verified. Harry related how the princess, who was expecting Prince Louis at the time, demanded an apology from his wife after she had stated that Kate had “baby brain” because of her “hormones.”
In addition, he clarified the controversy over Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress by asserting that, in contrast to earlier accounts, Kate was not in tears but that the event had left Meghan “sobbing on the floor.”
As a result of his admission in the book that he killed 25 Taliban fighters during the Afghanistan War, Harry faced harsh criticism during a series of interviews to promote Spare.
In an interview with Stephen Colbert on CBS’s The Late Show, he denied bragging about the murders and said that members of his family are actively attempting to “undermine” his memoirs.
According to a YouGov survey conducted on Tuesday and Wednesday, 68% of 1,691 respondents had a bad impression of Harry following the publication of his book, while just 24% had a favorable one.
The duke now has a net favorability rating of minus 44, which is worse than the previous record-low of minus 38 set last week, according to an internet research data firm.
Because of reports that he murdered 25 Taliban militants and used narcotics, the Duke of Sussex’s remarks have been making headlines for days.
During the King’s visit to Scotland, he was welcomed by Lord Lieutenant Sandy Manson and then given a tour of the bottom floor of the Aboyne and Mid-Deeside Community Shed.
Charles saw craft techniques in action, such as cutting stone and wood, during his visit to the Aboyne Men’s Shed workshop. He also got to know the men who come there regularly.
Inverurie-based Aberdeenshire North Foodbank, Gordon Rural Action, and Young at Heart Deeside are just a few of the organizations he is anticipated to interact with.
Gina Centrello, president and publisher of Random House Group, commented on the record sales by saying that, “While many works by popular persons may be reasonably characterized as “celebrity memoir,” Spare is not that.”
‘Spare is the narrative of someone we may have believed we already knew, but now we can fully come to understand Prince Harry via his own words. It is vulnerable and emotional, daring and personal.
Spare is a book that begs to be read, and judging by these incredible first-day sales, people certainly agree. We are happy to publish it.
In view of the harsh criticism directed at his family in his new book, it was announced tonight that Harry would not be permitted to attend his father’s coronation in May.
According to The Sun, senior royals have shied away from spending time with him at the historic occasion for fear that their chats would “find up in the paperback” version of his biography.
Prince Harry’s acceptance of an invitation to the Coronation from Prince Charles is still up in the air.
This week, the Duke of Sussex tried a charm offensive by making jokes about royal procedure while appearing on US talkback programs to promote his best-selling book, Spare.
He has avoided answering the question of whether he will go to his father’s coronation. When Tom Bradby asked the Duke of Sussex whether he would attend his father’s coronation in May during the Spare press blitz, the Duke said, “A lot can happen between now and then.”
The family expects Harry and Meghan to find an excuse not to attend, according to a source who made the assertion this week.
