King Charles monarchy no less than ‘circus’ in Prince Harry presence

King Charles’ monarchy has been reduced to Royal gossip, says an expert.

His Majesty, who recently met Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at the Highgrove House, made headlines over Royal drama instead of other political sensitivities including PM Andy Burnham’s appointment.

Seaking on Royally Unfiltered to host Kinsey Schofield, Jobson said: "It made it all so trivial. It's (the monarch) a very important political and powerful role, and it's just been turned into a circus by Harry and Meghan, and for their own benefit."

It is also added that Meghan was ‘sad’ over Prince Harry not being able to take her out on public events due to security reasons in the UK.

An insider says: “Harry really wants them to keep the momentum going. It's true the trip was disappointing on a lot of levels and he completely understands Meghan's frustrations, but he still feels the best course of action is to put it behind them and focus on the positives.”

“Harry's saying this is the time they should be making a real effort because that's the only way they're going to rebuild trust,” the insider added.

“She’s relieved to have the trip behind her and is in no mood to keep grovelling when she feels she was treated so badly,’ the source says.
