Part of People Magazine\u2019s cover story about QEII\u2019s death-anniversary is about King Charles and how he\u2019s dealing with one of the biggest issues facing his reign: his lack of control over his charismatic son and daughter-in-law, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The only similarity between Charles and his mother is their habitual ostrich-syndrome. Charles\u2019s is worse though, because he dithers and he can\u2019t even decide how to approach the Sussex issue. Instead of choosing the path of a loving father, he seems to be trying to convince everyone (and himself) that the Sussexes are merely a minor inconvenience, one which he can ignore forever. Even People Magazine\u2019s \u201csources\u201d can\u2019t decide on a path of action for discussing Charles\u2019s dogsh-t behavior towards his son. <\/p>\n
\nKing Charles’ fractured relationship with his son Prince Harry is certainly on his mind one year after Queen Elizabeth\u2019s death. As the late monarch often brought her family together, Prince Harry’s rift with the royals seems wider than ever. Fissures within the family came to the fore when King Charles\u2019 younger son and his wife, Meghan Markle, left the U.K. for the U.S. in 2020, and relations have remained strained since.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sure [the King] misses him. Harry is entertaining, warm and very loving as well. And they had a great relationship,\u201d a source close to the royal household tells PEOPLE in this week’s exclusive cover story. King Charles \u201cleans toward the compassionate rather than the disciplinarian style of family leadership,\u201d adds royal biographer and Queen of Our Times author Robert Hardman, implying hope for the future.<\/p>\n
If he\u2019s looking for a way forward, the King, 74, could examine the way his mother negotiated public scandals, political upheavals and family drama during her history-making 70-year reign.<\/p>\n
\u201c[The Queen] managed to navigate these choppy waters, and that\u2019s why she was always admired and loved \u2014 because she got the family through,\u201d says the source close to the royal household. \u201c[Charles] will have to show that he can do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Queen Elizabeth was \u201cespecially important [to Harry],\u201d a friend tells PEOPLE, and the anniversary of her death will surely be top of mind on Friday. <\/p>\n
In matters both personal and professional, \u201cthere is an enormous loss,\u201d says a source close to the royal household, \u201cas [the Queen] played a very important part in all of their lives. But I\u2019m impressed at how smoothly things are moving forward given all the little hiccups that there are in the background.\u201d<\/p>\n
The biggest \u201chiccup\u201d of all, of course, has been the ongoing estrangement of Harry and Meghan from the rest of the royal family. Queen Elizabeth \u2014 despite being someone with whom Harry had \u201chis own rapport,\u201d as Hardman puts it \u2014 was tough with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex when she felt she had to be, ruling they couldn\u2019t be half in, half out of the royal family as they\u2019d hoped. When it comes to the royal way of doing things, \u201cThere\u2019s no [hemming] and hawing,\u201d Hardman tells PEOPLE. \u201cIt\u2019s like, \u2018Here are your options, and can we have an answer by Friday?\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
[From People]<\/p>\n
QEII \u201cmanaged to navigate these choppy waters, and that\u2019s why she was always admired and loved \u2014 because she got the family through\u2026 [Charles] will have to show that he can do that.\u201d<\/em> Because Charles hasn\u2019t shown that he can navigate his way out of a wet paper bag. Charles can\u2019t negotiate intra-family disputes and that alone speaks volumes about his sh-tty leadership skills in a larger sense. Any \u201ctop CEO,\u201d any skilled manager worth a damn, would have found a way to cauterize this PR bleed after three and a half years. It\u2019s not even about fully reconciling with Harry and Meghan (although Charles should at least try to do that) – it\u2019s about taking a public position (as QEII did) that the Sussexes are much-loved family members, that they are always welcome in the UK, that Charles would love to see his grandchildren. Instead, he evicted them from their UK home out of spite and he openly briefs against them still. You can’t be a skilled manager AND an open sadist.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.celebitchy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/avalon-0724270306.jpg\")
