One of the last times “royal expert/columnist” Richard Kay appeared on the Mail’s Palace Confidential show, he folded like a cheap suit when asked about Prince William’s sad “I wanna be a global statesman” trip to New York. After hitting all of Kensington Palace’s talking points, Kay was asked if he thinks William is just shy. Kay was like, no actually he’s awkward, stilted, careful and not a natural on his feet. It was hilarious. Well, Kay was allowed back on Palace Confidential, this time armed with Buckingham Palace’s talking points about King Charles ahead of Chuck’s 75th birthday. Kay closed his eyes and thought of England:
King Charles has gone from a ‘confused young man’ to the ‘nation’s grandfather’ thanks to his love and support from wife Camilla, a royal expert has claimed. Speaking in a special episode of Palace Confidential to celebrate the monarch’s 75th birthday next month, Richard Kay shared how Charles has become ‘very comfortable in his skin.’
‘Prince of Wales as he then was, was a confused man. He was constantly competing with his wife [Princess Diana] and unsure of himself he was often being criticised in public. But the king he is today? He’s a man much more comfortable in his skin in large part because of his marriage to Queen Camilla.’
However, Charles’ first year as king has been dominated by the issues of ‘Harry, Meghan and Andrew’.
‘I think that’s going to go on. I think what’s interesting is what his response has been,’ Mr Kay added. ‘He has remained stoically silent, indeed almost impervious to many statements and remarks that have come out of California, and I think that will continue. He is becoming I think what he wants to be, which is the nation’s grandpa. It was always going to be such a difficult act to follow after the queen.’.
Daily Mail’s Royal Editor Rebecca English added that senior member’s of royal staff have told he the King would be the ‘first to admit’ that he ‘made mistakes in his personal life’ in the past. She added: ‘But should he be expected to pay for those mistakes for the rest of time on earth? Time is a healer and people have come to accept the man that he is. He’s in a much happier place personally and that seeps into his professional life.’
Charles was “a confused man. He was constantly competing with his wife [Princess Diana] and unsure of himself.” This version of Charles was a man in his 30s and 40s. And it wasn’t confusion, he treated Diana like sh-t because he was jealous of her and he cheated on her constantly because he has zero morals. As for “the nation’s grandpa” – curious that this palace fluff is being mentioned in the same breath as the Sussexes. Because the nation’s grandpa left his son and grandson in mortal danger when he withdrew their security, and then he evicted his grandchildren from their British home.
While I’m usually loath to actually embed the Palace Confidential videos, I have chosen to do this week because the longer they go on in this episode, the more bonkers it gets about Camilla. From Richard Eden talking about how Camilla has never “had a job” before now, to Kay blowing smoke about how Camilla is “incredibly brave” and “she sacrificed a lot,” this whole thing is completely unhinged. What did Camilla “sacrifice” again? Her first marriage, willingly, by choice, when she decided to carry on with another woman’s husband for years? What was Camilla sacrificing when she briefed her favorite royal reporters about Diana being “crazy”? Kay underlines Camilla’s “value” to Charles by saying “what really commends her is she is no way any kind of threat to the king, she’s not going to steal his thunder, she’s not going to duck into the limelight…” Imagine being a whole-ass 75 year old king and the only woman you can stand to be around is the woman who is uncharismatic, lazy, dull enough to never overshadow you. How is any of this a compliment to Charles?

Ha! What a $hit grandpa, no thanks.
I doubt many people see him like a grandpa.
More like the weird uncle who is always fighting with his family.
“Nation’s weird uncle” is much more accurate.
You know the Byline Times expose really hurt them because they’s deplored Richard Kay the clean up guy.
LOL, MipMip!
“Nation’s grandpa” LOL
they are trying to take the “nation’s grandma” thing that people said about the queen (the actual queen) and paste it onto Charles. nobody really thinks that.
I like the “nation’s weird uncle” theory commented above.
That’s 2 or maybe three Weird Uncles then
@Flowerlake, I read the article on the Daily Fail and the comments were 90% unfavorable to Charles and his whore/mistress/consort. They called both adulterers, liars, unworthy of the crowns, to not my grandfather, to nauseating. I couldn’t believe all the negative comments. Appparently, the DM is allowing negative comments to come thru instead of not posting them. The most promising statement was that they, the British people were not being fooled by the constant DM pr to make the royal family a moral representative of virture. The last statement is my summary of all the comments.
I recently said in a space that most sane thinking Brits are fed up of them. C3 awarded himself a 47% pay rise for doing sod all. Their days are numbered.
@KITTENMOM:
I second that!
AGREE! And may I add that there are recycling the word salad they usually use on Kate. It confused me for a second: “He’s a man much more comfortable in his skin in large part because of his marriage (…).” The dude is 75. Lazy buttons and EggplantPeggie are in their 40’s. How low is the bar.
This is what struck me – the “finally getting comfortable in their own skin” is ridiculous enough when discussing 40 year old Kate, it’s downright trolling to describe Charles this way. I wonder if Kate minds her in-laws taking over her corner?
Grandpa must have a different meaning in the UK. Agree with everything written above
Sheesh–as a grandpa, he’s right down there with Mike Flanagan’s Roderick Usher and real life’s J. Paul Getty. 🤮😂
Right?!? My grandmother )may she rest in peace though I doubt she is peaceful given what a piece of work she was) is more fun to think of hanging out with than Britains creepy mean uncle. PASS
“Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?” King Henry II
“Will no one rid me of this meddlesome ex-wife?” Prince Charles
“Will no one rid me of this meddlesome son and his wife?” King Charles III
Stoically silent my ass. He and his loving nag Horsilla have done nothing but leak and put out nasty false articles about his son. Chuckles goes into hiding when said son goes to salty isle. He is a shitty grandfather who takes homes away from grandchildren and their security. These articles do nothing to polish the huge turd that he is. The people have eyes and ears and know just what he is and it’s nothing described in the article.
King Charles at age 75 is still worried about being overshadowed. That’s sad and pathetic. Plus Charles has not been stoically silent regarding Harry. He’s never stopped smearing Harry and Meghan in the press and he threw them out Frogmore Cottage.
@Amy Bee – not sure if Charles wants the public to see him as a 75 year old let alone the grandfather of the nation.
One thing though it seems he was really angry at Harry stepping back from front line duties . As far as he is concerned the harassment from the press is something that has to be tolerated- if he tolerated it , there is no reason why Harry shouldn’t. This is why Harry spoke of genetic pain that seems to be passed down the line. As for Harry, he had had enough.
Charles earned the bad PR and media harassment because of his own poor judgement and his own actions. Harry has been scapegoated with bad PR and non-stop media harassment because KFC wants deflection. He should not have to tolerate it, especially as it endangers Meghan and his family.
He planned his reign on his ability to use Harry as a load-bearing pillar. Now one of those pillars is gone and the whole building is in danger of collapse. Chuckles doesn’t have the ideas or capacity to adjust his planned reign to new circumstances. He’s just going to stand helplessly in front of the collapsing building and feel sorry for himself, and lashing out where he can.
Like the playwright Sheridan watching his Drury Lane theatre burn.
“A man may surely be allowed to take a glass of wine by his own fireside”
Their relationship, why she was number one on the speed dial amongst the stable, seems to be based in her ability and willingness to pander to his massive insecurities. C3 appears to be a narcissist stuck in endless self-pity and needing constant attention and support. Aside from being dull and not a threat, that woman must be exhausted.
I have no pity for Camilla. She undermined Diana every step of the way. Camilla got the wealth perks and privileges for all her undermining of Diana and manipulating a weak prince. I would hardly call her exhausted
Don’t feel sorry for her, but it does make the retreats to Ray Mill etc. make sense. You make your bed in life and there you lie.
Agreed, she was definitely his emotional support horse and that’s what made her most favored.
If you read the infamous tampon transcript, what really stands out is not the tampon part -even that is decidedly non-sexual- but how much she coddles and soothes him. There’s so many “ oh darling! You poor thing”s in there. And over the silliest things too, you’d think he was going off to war the way she fusses. She’s always enabled him emotionally and that’s why he’s so tied to her.
I actually agree with this. The tampon part was not anywhere near the most cringe part of that conversation. It was the endless coddling.
’emotional support horse’ Love this. Agree the tampon stuff was not the worse part. The coddling and the understanding that Charles could manipulate people and Camz knew it. The coded language in that transcript could only happen with people who’ve been together a long time.imo Not bothering too look it up. There was one part where Camz suggested Charles should ask someone (a female) to help out with something. Camz was like ‘you know she’s in love with you. Puke emoji.
The old man Charles is the head of a sinking ship with worthless supporters. Try as they might we can all see he is just an egotistical old man with a fragile ego. Afraid of his charismatic son and his sons wife. So afraid that he purposely put them in mortal danger, to preserve his ego and power.
KC3 is one of those people who believe that people should not rise above their station in life – so if you are a spare , then you should accept everything that comes with being a spare – the good, bad & ugly.
He doesn’t realise that the age of deference is long gone and is trying to use the rule back of decades past to rule in this modern Times.
Given the state of things, it is hard to see the BRF to surviving past KC3
To call this dogshit father and overall sorry-ass excuse for a human being, who willfully endangered the lives of his son, daughter-in-law, and actual grandkids, “the nation’s grandpa” is just fucking grotesque. Please tell me that British people are seeing through this bullshit.
The UK needs to fire this grandpa.
Can you advise how we do that? I agree it is grotesque, but how do we get rid of not Charles personally but the institution? To my mind, as a tax payer in the UK, they bring nothing and drain our resources. Let’s get back all the properties and the duchies ..they have no personal wealth… and find a better solution to a HOS.
Grandpa to the nation, just not his biracial grandchildren, I’m going out on a limb, in England they’re so many biracial children, it is going to hard for Chucky to miss them unless he is in one of his palaces.
Probably not even much of a grandpa to the favored grandchildren either. He seems to only be around them for official portraits and events they attend.
I was just coming here to post this. His non-existent relationship with the H&M and their kids is actually beside the point. It can be excused and explained away because tension or distance or what have you. But he also has no relationship with the Wales children, and that’s how we know he’s a terrible grandfather. How can he be grandfather to the nation when we’ve never really seen him interacting with those kids? This whole thing is weird.
They’re pushing a narrative of Harry and Meghan making daily comments and snide remarks about the Windsors and the Monarchy in general. It’s amazing to me how desperate they are to paint the Sussexes as the villains with ‘National Grandpa’ Charles, Camilla, William, and Kate as the innocent victims.
the palace PR is really going into overdrive ahead of the Kenya trip and Charles’ bday, I see.
What has Cam ever done that is so “brave”? Endure criticism that she had coming to her?
Camilla had her wealthy prince pay expensive spin doctors for her.
May his reign be short and the historians brutal.
x100
@Cessily
No. On the contrary, I want his reign to be looooooong. I want him to remain on that throne until he is at least the age his mother was when she finally gave up the ghost. Age 96. Better yet, the age his father was…..99, right?
He has wanted this role for so long, but now I do believe he is finding out what we all do at various stages in our life: the thing we hankered for, when we finally get it, its an anticlimactic moment. I want him to stay in that zone for a looooooong time.
And bonus point: Bully-the-WEAK will also exist in suspended animation, waiting for his father to die while he writhes in agony as he sees his brother live well and prosper in his well-deserved success and happiness on a global stage.
Some folks’ karma need to land with the force of a bomb and these 2 deserve nothing less.
Agreed 💯
Bravo, Kingston!
Here’s my opinion. For decades there have been a lot of people who call themselves reporters. But all they have done is “report” on the royal family. Which was a pretty easy job. Mainly because the courtiers just told them what to report. Now with Harry & Meghan gone. And what is left of the royal family. Which no one seems to care about. All these so called reporters aren’t making the kind of money they were. And they see that they are never going to make that again. And are now going to have to actually find a job they have to work at. So you get articles like this. Just so they can make a payment on things they already owe.
@Robert Phillips – 100% agree with you . In addition to the points you have raised , in absence of any story, thrashing of H&M ( which people are getting tired of since it is the same old stories) the press will now turn on the BRF and become more ruthless and unscrupulous in their bid to source for more salacious stories and increase their earning capacity. Remember that times are tough and these RRs may become more desperate seeing that their usual source of information ( aka H&M ) as dried up
Another poor poor Charles article. He is a bad grandpa and papa. The treacle about Camilla is sickening. And Camilla has ambitions. She enabled Charles using Diana to have the royal babies
It makes me smile knowing Charles will be unhappy and deeply insecure till the day he dies. It’s been 75 years and that man can’t handle anyone else being slightly charismatic. That deep insecurity has ruled and ruined his life in multiple ways. The decisions he’s made via the insecurity still haunt him to this day and will probably be only things discussed about his reign. Though I hate that H,M and the kids bore the brunt of it, they’re much better off.
75 years and the man is now a KING. If ever there was the living proof of happiness coming from within it’s this man.
This is why you go to therapy and do work on yourself.
That’s a good point – I can only imagine that even now, surrounded by symbols of his own status and power, he still probably feels and acts like that needy, insecure, and jealous young prince. Finally getting the crown won’t have changed that fundamental truth.
Eheheh. I have always thought that that was Midas’ real curse. Sure, these folks get everything, but they never can enjoy it…or have a minute’s peace.
Charles was so egocentric he got jealous of his first wife. He already whined before they got married. He was quoted as saying I will have to get used to the backs of photographers when she’s around.
I’d like to see the people change strategy and instead of yelling “not our king” they can start yelling out to Camilla. “Camilla our Queen!”, “Camilla you’re gorgeous” “Take a picture with me Camilla “ Go full screaming crazy for Camilla and watch Charles cope with that hahaha
The line that jumped out at me was “But should he be expected to pay for those mistakes for the rest of time on earth?”
The suggestion gets made so easily for a man, at a time when women’s rights for making their own decisions about reproduction are being undermined and some republicans are even starting to rumble about no fault divorces.
@B – unfortunately what a man sows that he shall reap- so in answer to that question, no matter how liberal the laws may favour men, people like KC3 will continue to reap what he has sown especially as he has refused to rise above whatever made him take those actions in the first place and become a better person.
Remember that the issue of Diana has still not been resolved – yes the government of the day may have brought closure to it but probably not nature .
I am sure none of them go to bed with a clear conscience of having done right – that alone is karma which will Continue to play at them unless they repent and start to show kindness and justice.
Stated by those who expect Harry to spend the rest of his life paying for the decision to leave.
Sorry, Charles – the answer is yes. That’s what it means to be a prince and a king – you’re a giant public figure and people who don’t even know you think they know you. The mistakes you made were huge and memorable and very public. And as long as there historical records and people who remember, your mistakes will be thrown back in your face.
“The line that jumped out at me was “But should he be expected to pay for those mistakes for the rest of time on earth?””
Yep–it’s called consequences. And nobody escapes all of those. I really hate this defense, for it’s always used to excuse MeToo creeps like Spacey when they try for a comeback.
Nice try to piggyback off of the somewhat benign view that people had of his mom, but it won’t work. People know way too much about his maltreatment of Diana, Harry, and Meghan, all people he viewed as a threat to his royal standing. And people know that Hozilla has nasty friends who lunch with her and then call for Meghan to be dragged naked through the streets.
Back to the drawing board, Chuck. Try again, dear.
That Palace confidential show was painful to watch. I had to skip through it. These people are delusional and unhinged.
Poor Charles has to be stoically silent after he caused the damage. What a loser.
I’ve no idea how the citizens think he cares about them when he is ok with the option of his son being possibly dead. His son and son’s family being dead. He can’t even be a real father or grandfather. Get a grip.
The mess is Image Makeover 2.0 because the first one didn’t take. Charles is still a louse of a spouse and Camilla is the second coming of Anne Boleyn.
Charles knows that he will be always in mummy’s shadow and will blame everyone else instead.
1. Charles is the nations Tampon.
2. However, he is looking more and more like Grandpa in The Munsters so there is that.
That was exactly my thought! He looks like Grandpa Munster in the photo above!
What utter drivel.
There is no “there” there when it comes to the monarchy, and with the passing of the Queen, it has become impossible to hide. What does Charles offer? Nothing. No wisdom, no comfort, no leadership. Nothing. What is the point of the monarchy? But a soap that sells tabloids. They’re all dishonest, it is all about facades and “let’s pretend”. Well, that no longer works for most people, not even the British, who are so wedded to tradition.
Charles is a rotten human being, and just because he’s old now doesn’t give him a pass. What he did to his son and grandchildren is unforgivable; there’s no going back from that.
Charles sucks all day every day and bc he’s the head of the Church of England, he sucks twice on Sundays. He’s a worthless and immature boy masquerading as a man and will be an even more worthless and horrible king. The overshadowing legacy of his mother’s long reign, his mistreatment of Princess Diana, the utter neglect of his sons and the terrible things he’s done and is doing to his youngest son, DIL and biracial grandchildren will ensure that he’s a footnote in his own reign. His slimmed down anemic monarchy ensures that the focus will be on him, his lazy, uncharismatic heir and both of their ultra lazy and dull wives. Good luck with that (but not really)! His insistence on the BMs continuous and exhausting embiggening of Camilla is also ruining his legacy. He keeps trying to force her acceptance on the public, which is ridiculous. No means no C-Rex!
The nation’s grandpa? Watch out Britain. You’re about to be evicted from your home.
+1
+2
Also, we’ve all seen how he reacted to an innocent inkwell and leaky pen. Nation’s grandpa my ass. He’s the f*cker that believes children should be seen and not heard. Nothing stoic about him. The guy who couldn’t make a statement in support of his biracial DIL and grandson-is not a nation’s grandpa. Unless, that nation is allwhite.
“Kay closed his eyes and thought of England.” I see what you did there! 🤌🤌🤌
As for being the nation’s grandpa, Charles isn’t even a real grandpa to his own grandkids.
Brassy Rebel, You beat me to this hilarious quote. “ Kay closed his eyes and thought of England…” sums up the gist of that whole article, though I suspect Kay was visualizing his paycheck instead.
That’s it, exactly, Brassy Rebel! In order to be a nation’s grandfather, you have to be a grandfather to your own grandchildren first. You have to have so much love for them that it pours over. Where are the stories of him playing with his grandkids or of him taking them places? Those stories don’t exist because he doesn’t roll that way. This is a man whose own children don’t want to spend Christmas with him. How often did we hear about W&K going to spend Christmas with the Middletons? And look at what he did to his other son, DIL and grandchildren. Hate your son all you want, but you don’t punish your grandchildren for the beef you have with their dad.
It really is starting to feel as if the monarchy is truly falling apart. & mainly by their own hands.
Lovely to see as a lifelong republican (small ‘r’) – I can almost believe now I might finally live in a republic one day. Whereas historically that was only ever going to happen when I finally move to France.
*retch* He is the nation’s ass-clown, more like. You arse-kissing sycophant.
For what it is worth: The Daily Fail is no longer classed as anything other than a tabloid and wikipedia no longer allows references (for years now) to their articles as they are considered propaganda, unreliable and gossip.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/feb/08/wikipedia-bans-daily-mail-as-unreliable-source-for-website
That’s worth a lot @ Olivia. Thanks for cheering me up!
So a liar, an adulterer, a narcissist, a dogsht father, a terrible son, an ignorer of final wishes, a moral coward, a man who wanted the throne more than the woman he’s now married to. A man who took a Virgin for a wife, just to provide an heir and a spare. Problem for this man, his “Spare” turned out to be more of a man than HIM or his heir! And THIS is what they call the nations grandpa, yeah right. Well as someone born here, grew up here and has grandchildren of her own. Mate I wouldn’t want you or the witch you married within a bloomin continent of my family
Mary Pester welcome back! I hope you’re feeling okay.
Welcome! Welcome! Back Miss Mary!!!
Hi Mary Pester😊!
Welcome back Mary P, I have missed your incisive comments. ITA.
So glad you’re back MP! It was a long couple of days without your comments. Strength to you.
Hi, Mary!!! Glad you are back to kick royal butt!!! 😂😈
Mary, so good to see your name in the comments again! Hope you’re feeling good xx
I was worried about you Mary but you are one tough cookie .
Welcome back , you have been missed .
Hear! Hear!
Welcome back!
Charles treated the mother of his children like dirt. Camilla did not give birth to his children
“almost impervious to many statements and remarks that have come out of California” we’re going to need proof on these statements and remarks.
Hi @Jais @teagirl @Dihanna and @ml, it’s so good to be back with you all, believe me at times neither I or the doctors thought I would be, but I knew you would all be here rooting for me and by the way, things are that bad with our wonderful N. H. S that I had to spend 4hours in a ward with a corpse!! Not something I want to repeat!!
What a nightmare! I hope you are treated better in the coming days.
You’ve been missed @mary pester. Glad you’re here with us posting and out of that ward!❤️.
Good to hear from you again MaryP.
I hope you continue to feel well enough to regale us with your acerbic wit and incisive observations.
You have a lot of support here and we’ve wondered where you were. We’re so incredibly happy that you’re back with your acerbic wit!
“…things are that bad with our wonderful N. H. S that I had to spend 4hours in a ward with a corpse!!”
Whoa–what?!?! Yipes…😳
That sounds like a story that worth hearing through the prism of the wit you show us here! I’ll bet that corpse was livelier than Kate the Great (and probably a better public speaker)…okay I’ll see myself out.
Omg👀😂
Been thinking about you, Mary! So glad you’re back xx
Yikes.
Glad you’re back!
Why does Cowmilla insist on wearing a tiara even when it clashes with what she is wearing?
The black dress makes her look like a stuffed potato sack. Add the detail in the fabric plus the tiara. and she looks like a stuffed potato sack trimmed with Christmas lights.
What an insecure man Charles is! Will he ever become comfortable in his own skin? He’s a weak, envious, spineless sadist. It’s pitiful.
That’s the best that can be said of KC3.
Richard Eden says “Camilla has a full program of jobs” at a time when other people her age are putting their feet up … She barely works!
And Kay says Camilla never sought this role … Except she did. She bullied Diana when Diana was just a teenager. She connived against Diana’s younger son to improve her own standing. And she used Charles’ weakness to assume control of the palace.
How do these sycophantic hacks live with themselves?
Just because someone is a grandfather doesn’t mean he’s a good person. Charles reminds me of those awful grandfathers in British murder mysteries, the ones who gather the family around to tell them that he’s cutting them all out of his will. Of course, the next day he’s found dead from an overdose of digitalis or something…
Knives Out: Windsor Edition
Or Murder Mystery–The Fall Of The House Of Windsor. 😂 Though one gets the feeling Adam Sandler based his awful tycoon on Murdoch.
I suspect Richard Kay considers Charles to be the grandfather to Caucasian citizens of the nation only.
I bet Charles feels the same way.
Of course! The non-Caucasians are non-entities and don’t count.
I’m ready for KFC to be “stoically silent”. Any time now would be fine with me.
It boggles my mind how punishing Harry for marrying Meghan is considered a good look for Charles, yet the British media certainly thinks so, and there’s no denying that the British public buying these tabloids seem to think so too. The UK appears to lag waaaay behind in race relations.
Here’s a free tip: it isn’t a positive thing to laud Charles for wanting to bring his son and biracial DIL “to heel”. It’s a dog whistle which looks like shit.
It’s shocking, the dog whistles they use without a hint of irony. The British royals treating Harry and Meghan, 4 years on, like runaway slaves is astounding in 2023. In the 1850s in the US, the Supreme Court ruled against Dred Scott–a runaway slave who was challenging the Fugitive Slave Act (a slave caught in the north could be returned to slavery–one of the worst travesties of justice in American judicial history). I wouldn’t be surprised in a British journalist actually cited Dred Scott as a “reason” to force the Sussexes back to the UK.
Hey British royal journalists lurking here, there’s a judicial precedent for forcing Harry and Meghan back to the UK! Look it up! The rent is due and you have articles to write!
And the world, especially the commonwealth, is watching. When I hear “his majesty” I want to be ill.
