In the year of our lord Beyonce 2023, Buckingham Palace needs to stop trying to force the “comparison” between Prince Andrew and Prince Harry. It’s offensive and it’s indicative of the larger tone problems with palace communications. Prince Andrew has been credibly accused of rape and human trafficking. He’s on the record as a close friend of two traffickers and abusers, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Prince Harry… married a beautiful Black woman and left his toxic, racist, abusive family. There is no comparison. But, you know, palace courtiers keep trying to make it happen. They’re totally going to seat Harry and Andrew together at the coronation, you know. Not only that, the palace is openly briefing Camilla Tominey about how King Charles will openly seek to reconcile with Andrew and Harry. Both. Because to Charles, they’re the “same.”
The King is using the Coronation to heal family divisions, including bringing the Duke of York in “from the cold”, say sources. Prince Harry’s attendance following the fallout from his autobiography Spare, has sparked hope of a royal truce with the King. He is said to have been pleased by the decision because he is keen to have the support of both sons at what Prince Harry has acknowledged as the “biggest day” of his father’s life.
As a non-working royal, Harry is not expected to take part in the procession after the service or join other members of the Royal Family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace or for other celebrations. It is not known whether he plans to attend a private family gathering after all the festivities on the Saturday, to which the Duke of York’s ex-wife, the Duchess of York is thought to have been invited.
Contrary to reports that there has been a row over what Prince Andrew should wear on his brother’s big day, one friend told The Telegraph that “there’s a warmth around the place and a proper rallying around the King, who in turn is showing some serious EQ (emotional intelligence) by ensuring the family is given the opportunity to pull together”.
Pointing to the fact that Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York, both spent Christmas and Easter with the King and Queen, the friend added: “All four siblings spent most of the Easter weekend together with assorted children and plus-ones – including the Duchess. I suspect some palace staff and parts of the media are well behind the curve in their understanding of this private family unity. The Duke stands four-square behind the King.”
Prince Harry has long complained about being “briefed against” to the press by palace staff. It appears to be a concern that is shared by his uncle and fellow non-working royal, Prince Andrew, 63, who stepped back from royal duties in November 2019 over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted paedophile. The friend added: “The family aren’t briefing against one another. If it’s palace officials going off-piste and providing hostile press briefings on who wears what and when, who lives here or there, then they should think on. If it damages an individual royal, it damages the institution and it doesn’t reflect the private unity of the family.”
While the King’s mood is described as “generally quite forgiving” towards Harry, the Prince of Wales is understood to still feel betrayed by the revelations in the book. Such is the gulf between the once-close brothers that several sources have said they cannot see how their relationship can ever be repaired.
The optics between Charles and Andrew have been “warm” for a while now – Andrew was allowed to walk with the family on Christmas Day, and Charles gave the Yorks the use of Wood Farm as well. Then Andrew was front and center on Easter Sunday. So… Charles and Andrew are negotiating and it’s going well. Charles is maintaining (privately) that Andrew will always be taken care of as long as he keeps his mouth shut. Charles is publicly signaling that he’s totally fine with Andrew’s perversions and crimes, simply because Andrew hasn’t done something truly unforgivable, like try to break the cycle of generational trauma. So how in the world is Harry’s situation in any way comparable? Charles is going to do the most for his media masters to create narratives about “Magnanimous King Charles the Peacemaker welcomes the prodigal son home with open arms.” Meanwhile, Harry is going to fly in for a matter of hours and be out of there so fast.

When was there a “division” between Charles and Andrew? KC puts out PR that he is punishing PA, but is there any proof of that? I’m sure Charles sees nothing wrong with anything PA has done, except for getting caught.
My guess is any real division started when Andrew did that interview that went so poorly, and when the settlement cost the family money.
I think it started when Lizzie showed maternal love to Andrew that she never showed to Chuckles.
Considering Charles’ best friend was Jimmy Saville, and his spiritual mentor was van der Post, of *course* Charles has no trouble with his brother being besties with child traffickers/sexual predators.
don’t forget Chuckie’s beloved great-Uncle Louis Mountbatten who, allegedly, sexually molested boys
Andrew is forgiven because Charles has done the same. No one sees Andrew’s behavior as abhorrent. Anyway, Charles won’t have time to make peace on his special day. He’ll be too busy fussing over the weight of his robes and if the tassels are the right weight and shade of blue. And over the epaulets in his way. Not to mention any stray pens he sees along the procession. He will stop his golden chariot carriage and give any pen holder a talking to.
I hope Charles has to sign some official papers after he is clowned. That way we might get to see a reprise of Charles and the Pens of Doom.
Forget eggs, I want people to throw cheap ass pens at Charles.
Save the eggs.
Toss tampax!
Haha, toss pens!
Charles is, plainly put, a liar a cheat and and a thief. Nothing he says can he believed. One only has to look at his treatment of Diana. Karma is knocking on his door because karma never forgets an address.
Good luck, Chuckles. The history books are going take really good care of you. Can’t wait!!
Harry is gonna regret going to that white supremacist celebration.
It is a smart strategic move.
That term “non-working royal” really makes me laugh, since Harry is pretty much the only one who IS working.
I don’t think he will. I think in his own way he’s protected Meghan from further attacks that would have definitely happened if he hadn’t gone.
@Amy Bee: They will continue to slag Meghan even after Harry attends the Con-a-Nation.
Edited — Sorry, I posted before reading post #4. I ditto everything they said.
It’s so insane to me how they always try and link Harry and Andrew as being equally problematic.
Their racism is just so crazy to me.
💯. It’s very offensive. The only prince with a moral compass being lumped in with a prince who has had to pay millions to one of his rape victims. It’s vulgar beyond words.
Yet, Charles continues to treat his rapist brother with more concern and compassion than his son who is married to a biracial woman.
@Flower And don’t forget the link they try to force between Harry and nazi sympathizer Edward the VIII.
Huh, I guess with Charles, words speak louder than actions.
Speaking of words, they’re all of a sudden using EQ, after Chuck’s lack of EQ was mentioned in the celebichy comment section. Coincidence? I think not.
I can’t believe they went there: Charles and “some serious EQ” in the same sentence! 😱
Charles brain is just like his fingers, big and swollen 🤣🤣 I hope they write an article about that too 🤣🤣
Putting Andrew in the same category as harry is super offensive. Charles is protecting Andrew
I don’t believe there were divisions between Charles and Andrew. The Royal Family believe that Andrew was a victim of a witch hunt. Any talk about Andrew leaving Royal Lodge or writing a book were red herrings to cover for Charles poor behaviour towards Harry. Charles does not view Andrew and Harry in the same light as Andrew has remained loyal to the family.
Charles, big talk. Trying to make out he is the peacemaker.
All BS. Spin it anyway you like, that entire family is a mess.
Harry should head back to CA at the speed of light after the Bore-A-Nation.
Charles refused to see Harry when Harry went to the U.K. in March. Charles was “too busy”. Whereas he has been publicly socializing with Andrew in the past 6 months at Christmas and Easter with the royal family (based on the palace leaks). Andrew is in the circle. Meanwhile, as the leaks have revealed, he has privately snubbed Harry and evicted Harry. Andrew is still comfortably housed at Royal Lodge despite receiving the keys to Frogmore Cottage (again based on the palace leaks).
The propaganda spin is going to tie them and their royal sycophants in knots. Thanks to Harry’s book, Spare, the rest of us recognize the propaganda.
It is about trying to control the narrative. It will not work, Charlie, simply because you do you.
A bit too late and too little. It is magical thinking that you can evict your son from his home which is a wedding gift from Queen Elizabeth and be estranged from your grandchildren in California, and at the same time call for family healings
Offs, the facts of the matter are, Charlie CAN’T move against Andrew to much. Andrew knows where the skeletons are buried. Charlie had a long standing friendship with one of the worse paedophiles in the UK history, “Jimmy Saville”, and when the truth about “Sir Jimmy Saville” came out, the press said nearly NOTHING about Charlie’s friendship with him. We also had the stories around the man Charlie called his mentor “lord Mountbatten”. We all saw Andrews pathetic television interview, we all saw how he hid out with his mother on her Balmoral estate to prevent papers being served on him. That’s why the solicitors went to court to ensure service! The press, with the full backing of the Palace continue to try and put Harry alongside Andrew but IT WON’T WORK! And I think that is the only reason they wanted Harry at the coronation, to try and take the sting from the disgraced Andrew being there. There is NO healing in this family, they are just a load of shape shifters. Harry is safer away from them all
Yes and let’s not forget Charles’ good friend bishop Peter Ball, another disgraced paedophile. Andrew has enough on Charles to sink him to the bottom of the ocean.
Hope you’re feeling better today BTW!
@JADED, thank you lovey, still feeling the after effects but like I said, at least I’m in my own bed. I have accepted that it’s terminal but I’m still going to try and kick some ass until the end lol, and even when I’m having a bad day and can’t post, at least I can enjoy yours and others
As @leda (above) says: Harry is going to regret going to this.
I can only imagine what they have in store.
Balls. He’s only saying that for good publicity. He told the RRs to say it. That family makes me ill.
I agree 100💯
“[Prince Andrew],who stepped back from royal duties in November 2019 over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein…”
No Cameltoe, it wasn’t Andrew’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, it was raping Virginia Guiffre. He was forced out of royal duties kicking and screaming because he raped an underage, trafficked teenager several times then had mommy pay her a sh*t-ton of money in damages. The spin she’s putting on this is so bad it’s making me dizzy.
Watch out Keen! Chucky wants to steal your Peace Maker crown!
I was going to say this…
Because of the attacks of the king on his son and brother, one has a sense that the reasons are similar and available in the public.
They are not, that is way the the individuals are lumped together, Charles onslaught is personal, he nor the UK media give any credence to the untested allegations against Andrew.
Some would say that Charles contributed to the breakup of Andrew’s marriage despite Sarah’s behaviour.
This is personal for Charles and especially William towards Harry …..
The Queen told Harry – ‘Your father would do what he wants’ as reported in his book ‘Spare’.
It is his feeling of being overlooked, whether based on reality or not. Harry and Meghan was promoted in the Commonwealth Trust, today their names have been removed, likewise Harry’s patronage.
When Charles bestow that honour on himself, he failed to mention his son and his father.
Go back to articles about the York’s marriage, the reception they received…..
They were seen as a breath of fresh air, Princess Diana was happier….
The pattern began with the then Wales marriage, their trip to Australia, Diana’s popularity.
Charles, later William has simmered until they got thier chance with Harry, aided by their wives, they almost destroyed him.
The death of the queen, gave them the opportunity to go after Andrew.
Including Andrew’s behaviour outside of the 👪 is allowing Charles and now William to be spiteful and punitive. At least Williams’s is open about his hatred and envy towards his brother.
Since the family dynamics is still very much unknown, one has to look beyond the leaks.
When Charles’ felt overlooked and threatened, he does not look inward to his strengths, he pounces….
This is all on him, it is especially egregious towards Harry.
Andrew has had his self inflicted wounds, but both were raised in a fishbowl, totally dependent on the monarch.
Should that monarch harbour unnecessay resentment towards any of the extended family, they are at his mercy.
It is alleged that the late Queen inferred that at least Harry is young enough to start over, no so Andrew, she openly worried about him for that very reason.
There is a solid reason why she did not abdicate.
Charles indicate that he would to help William, in the meanwhile he is assured that Harry will not want to be a part of Williams’s reign. His competence and charisma would be sorely missed.
That way, in Charles’ mind, his reign would supersede Williams’s.
He would never be overlooked.
For now, he probably thinks that he afford to be magnanimous towards both son and brother, because he stands above them.
The sad reality they never questioned his standing to the extent that he felt compelled to be so punitive and cruel.
Chuck, emotional intelligence? LOL.
KC is so forgiving that he threw Harry out of his only UK home.
I don’t buy this. It reads like a leak from Andrew. I think most people missed the years of Fergie and Andrew actively briefing the press. This is Andrew saying “don’t speak ill”. Anyway, I thought Andrew wasn’t invited to the coronation. Or are they slipping him in after confirming harry is going.
The monarchy was dying under Elizabeth. She got to stay because they needed her & the families war record. The only way they need Charles is his links to the continent. However, the Torries are killing that. Then you have Charles pushing Camilla and Andrew. Embarrassing.
For the last few days, there is only one thing that I get from all of this, KCIII was able to distract from the bad news of his awful coronation and center it back to Harry and Meghan.
“While the King’s mood is described as “generally quite forgiving” towards Harry . . .”
I would never want to need this man’s forgiveness. If the never complain/never explain crew is to be believed, he hasn’t spoken to Prince Harry since before January 10th.
Can you imagine the full force of the English tabloids being weaponized against you because of whatever “mood” KFC finds himself in?
Why are they even talking about KFC’s “mood”?
I guess the King can’t straight up have you murdered anymore when it suits his “mood”, now he orders a world-wide character assassination via the tabloids.
I wish Harry well in doing his duty by going to the coronation. I think he should be surrounded by a ton of good vibes to combat the negativity.
I don’t know if it helps them, but the Sussex family absolutely have my support.
Same here.
Bring Pedrew back in from the cold??? After being so credibly accused of raping a trafficked teenager that he had to pay a massive settlement???
In what universe do Charles and the royal rota live??? Feminist campaigners should join forces with the republicans to protest the hell out of the Chubbly.
And spare me the attempted equivalence between Harry and Pedrew. It’s disgusting.
Does anyone here believe that KFC will be talking with Harry about anything? KFC told the world that he was ‘too busy’ to see Harry after his trip to France was cancelled and his calendar was empty. I don’t know who is briefing the bm at this point, but they’ve done such a poor job that the brf just keeps getting smaller and smaller in people’s minds.
CHarles is full of shit. He is not bringing Harry back to make peace, but to gang up on him with other royal derangers to humiliate, punish and snub him. Fucking over Harry is a family pastime that unifies these mofos temporarily until he is gone and their internecine squabbles and infighting can continue. They are creating an enemy in Harry (like how war and hatred of the enemy unifies a country) and they will try to vanquish him symbolically (God, please, not literally) as some sacrificial lamb to quench their own blood lust and the blood lust of the press and the people. God help Harry when he is with his “own family” because family is so much more dangerous than strangers (who may want to do you a kindness–Blanche Dubois, Streetcar Named Desire). I believe Harry needs to have an emergency exit strategy and people around to facilitate it if necessary when he’s in England–enemy territory to him now (whether he knows it or not). F-ck the king. God save Prince Harry.
My god, I hope Harry’s security can get him out of the Abbey as soon as humanly possible. He doesn’t need a gang-up. I’m really afraid that they will try to keep him in the UK illegally. If any of you recall, Paul Robeson was grabbed in the UK and made to submit to drugging and ECT. He was not the same thereafter. They could try something like it on Harry.
Again, one is a sex offender and the other is a man of honor. Nothing in common.
No judgmental articles about Andy. He’s ok with charles
