Charles Rejects Meg’s Request for Lilibet’s Succession, Bans Contact with Harry and Meg
In a surprising turn of events, King Charles has reportedly rejected Meghan Markle's request for her daughter Lilibet's succession and has banned all contact with Prince Harry and Meghan.
The royal couple allegedly left the monarch feeling sad on his 74th birthday by refusing his request for a video call.
According to a royal source, King Charles had expressed his desire to have a FaceTime conversation with Lilibet and Archie on his special day, but Meghan and Harry declined to facilitate the call.
The refusal by the California-based royal couple stemmed from King Charles' recent request to the British Parliament to amend the law, allowing two more of his siblings to act on his behalf in his absence.
This move apparently did not sit well with Meghan and Harry, leading them to deny Archie and Lilibet the opportunity to speak with their grandfather on his birthday.
Adding to the tension, King Charles III delivered his first Christmas Day speech as monarch following Queen Elizabeth's passing, but notably omitted any mention of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Instead, the 74-year-old monarch focused on praising Prince William and Princess Kate's work as senior royals.
He also paid tribute to his late mother's legacy and expressed gratitude for the support and sympathy received from well-wishers.
During his holiday broadcast, King Charles acknowledged the emotional significance of Christmas for those who have lost loved ones, emphasizing the power of faith and tradition.
He shared heartfelt sentiments about his mother's belief in the everlasting light, which he also holds dear.
The timing of this address comes after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's revelations about their departure from royal duties in the Netflix docu-series “Harry and Meghan.”
The series, which premiered in two volumes, shed light on the growing tension between the Sussexes and the royal institution.
In the final episodes, Harry opened up about the difficulties he faced when reuniting with his father and brother at Prince Philip's funeral in April 2021.
He expressed disappointment in the lack of genuine accountability and apology, leading him and Meghan to focus on their future and move forward.
As the rift between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and the royal family continues to widen, it remains uncertain whether reconciliation is possible.
The refusal of King Charles to grant Lilibet's succession and the subsequent ban on contact with Harry and Meg indicate deep-rooted tensions within the monarchy.
The coming days and weeks will undoubtedly reveal more about the future dynamics of the royal family and the path chosen by the Sussexes as they navigate life outside the institution.
