King Charles has not managed to escape onslaught and its because of a new piece by The Times’ Roya Nikkah.

For those unversed with the contents in this piece, it included some personal promises by the monarch with claims that, “In this, and more broadly, the king has attempted to deal with some of the challenges he inherited from his mother,” delivered to The Sunday Times.

Other than it being a very clear targeting of the York sisters, one thing caught Mr Tom Sykes eyes, enough for him to turn to his Substack and deliver a crushing comment against the King.

As part of his comment he wrote, “the endless attempt of Charles’s office to blame everything on the Queen continues.”

“The idea that five years after her death, it was somehow the Queen’s fault that he is continuing to pay Beatrice and Eugenie’s rent is a classic of the genre.”

He didn’t even conclude there, instead added, “it’s almost as mad as the palace’s insistence that they welcome the report and are committed to transparency, when they resisted and resisted and resisted stating the terms of Beatrice and Eugenie’s leases.”

For those unversed, with the place and the picture that started it all. Everything took place at Peter Phillips wedding and the moment the picture of Prince William kissing Princess Beatrice’s cheek went viral experts and commentators alike started calling it a silent signal.
