Speaking about King Charles‘s conduct, expert Emily Wright writes for Express: “Yes, they were welcomed behind closed doors. But this wasn't about palace politics - it was about an ageing grandfather fighting cancer who simply wanted to see his youngest grandchildren.”

“He hasn't seen Archie and Lilibet in four long years, not since Lilibet was just a one-year-old. The King, acting out of pure grandfatherly decency, opened his doors to them. But Charles cleverly drew a line between his love for his family and royal business,” she added.

“If the Palace wanted the world to see this as the grand rehabilitation of the Sussex brand, we would have seen a photo. Instead? Not a single frame. No public embrace, no joint statement and definitely no balcony appearance. The Monarchy gave away nothing,” said the expert.
