- King Charles refused to support his son Prince Harry and Meghan.
- Charles leads Harry pleading for a statement in their favour.
- Harry argued that the press had been portraying him as a clown all his life.
Back in 2017, King Charles was asked to support his younger son Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle.
Owing to the couple’s considerable media attention, the King got a phone call from his son pleading for a statement in their favour, which Charles refused to accept.
In his autobiography, Harry writes: “I rang Pa yet again. Don’t read it, darling— I cut him off. I wasn’t about to hear that nonsense again. Also, I wasn’t a boy anymore. I tried a new argument. “
Harry immediately begged his father: “I reminded Pa that these were the same shoddy bastards who’d been portraying him as a clown all his life, ridiculing him for sounding the alarm about climate change. These were his tormentors, his bullies, and now they were tormenting and bullying his son and his son’s girlfriend—did that not inspire his outrage? Why have I got to beg you, Pa? Why is this not already a priority for you? Why is this not causing you anguish, keeping you up at night, that the press are treating Meg like this?
Harry added: “You adore her, you told me so yourself. You bonded over your shared love of music, you think she’s funny and witty, and impeccably mannered, you told me—so why, Pa? Why? I couldn’t get a straight answer. The conversation went in circles and when we hung up I felt—abandoned.”
