Roya Nikkhah at the Sunday Times had a somewhat interesting exclusive this weekend: \u201cKing Charles relishes global role \u2014 but still won\u2019t see Harry.\u201d My take, after reading through a lot of after-action coverage of King Charles and Camilla\u2019s Kenya tour, is that Buckingham Palace decided to go on a big briefing spree. The palace wants to declare the Kenya tour an unqualified success, but the palace also acknowledges that they need to spice up any royal story with details about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, which shows you that \u201cthe Kenyan tour was such a success\u201d isn\u2019t the truth. Some highlights from this very curious piece:<\/p>\n
\nCharles is happy with the tour & his plans to go to COP28:<\/strong> A source close to the King said: \u201cHe\u2019s putting into practice the theory he always hoped would be possible: that as monarch you can play a role on the global stage and still champion the causes you care about, without upsetting the constitutional red lines. He\u2019s enjoying it.\u201d<\/p>\nThe king\u2019s birthday plans:<\/strong> It will be a mostly contented King who celebrates his 75th birthday on November 14 with a party with his closest family and friends at Clarence House. Yet one key guest will be missing. Although it is understood Charles invited his second son to the family gathering, the Duke of Sussex is not making the trip from California. In September, Prince Harry also turned down the offer to spend some time with his father at Balmoral while he was visiting the UK for a charity event at the time of the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth\u2019s death.<\/p>\nCharles & Harry haven\u2019t spoken since September 2022:<\/strong> Five years ago, in a BBC documentary to mark Charles\u2019s 70th birthday, Harry joined Prince William to heap praise on his father for doing an \u201camazing job\u201d as a role model, expressing his gratitude for his \u201csupport\u201d for him and Meghan. How times change. The distance between them continues to widen: it is thought father and son have not seen or spoken to each other in person since last September, during the mourning period and funeral of the late Queen.<\/p>\nHarry left the UK right after the coronation:<\/strong> Harry briefly came to the UK in May for his father\u2019s coronation but did not return to Buckingham Palace with the rest of the family after the service at Westminster Abbey. He spent less than 24 hours on British soil before returning to California for his son Archie\u2019s fourth birthday. Sources close to Harry say he has no plans to return to the UK any time soon. His next overseas visit is expected to be a trip to Canada to promote the Invictus Games, which will be held there in 2025. \u201cHe is just focused on getting on with his life over there,\u201d said a friend.<\/p>\nThe family feel: <\/strong>But despite a smooth run so far as head of state, head of nation and head of the Commonwealth, maintaining a \u201cfamily feel\u201d across the House of Windsor continues to be tricky. The King will miss his second son at his birthday party \u2014 though the same cannot be said for the rest of the family. Some of them initially sympathised with Harry and Meghan\u2019s struggles with royal life. But the couple\u2019s tell-all Netflix series last year and Harry\u2019s explosive memoir Spare, published in January, were the last straw for most. A source who recently spent time with the royal family in Scotland said: \u201cThe family has firmly shut the door on them for the time being, because of the documentary and the book. Before those, there was always the hope that some things might be mended. The King will be faster to forgive than the family because Harry is his son, but the door is still more shut than ajar at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\nThe cooling off period:<\/strong> A friend of Charles described his mood on the matter: \u201cWhen he gets to the end of another successful work day and thinks of his family, there will always be a twinge in his heart about a problem that he hasn\u2019t been able to solve yet, but he will be taking the long-term view. The current act is a challenging one, there are issues that aren\u2019t resolved and there won\u2019t be a rapprochement any time soon. There is the sense of a cooling-off period from the family that is under way after the aftershocks of the book and the interviews. But that doesn\u2019t change the King\u2019s love for his son. He\u2019ll never not invite his son to a family gathering, because that\u2019s not who he is.\u201d<\/p>\nShifts in tone in Kenya:<\/strong> There were also subtle shifts in tone for the Kenya trip compared with recent state visits to Germany and France, where white tie, black tie and tiaras were deployed and where Charles and Camilla travelled in the state Bentley, which was transported from the UK. On Tuesday night\u2019s state banquet in Nairobi, Ruto wore black tie but Charles opted for a suit and tie, Camilla a flowing blue trouser suit. The Bentley did not join them in Kenya; the King and Queen travelled instead in a Land Rover and Toyota Land Cruiser provided by their hosts. It all felt less grand, a nod to the sensitivities still felt in a country where the history of empire casts a long shadow. <\/p>\nLessons learned from the Caribbean Flop Tour:<\/strong> Lessons were learnt last year after William and Catherine\u2019s trip to Belize and the Caribbean, which was beset with diplomatic glitches and controversy. The couple faced criticism when they were photographed greeting Jamaican children through a wire fence. A royal source said they would still be \u201cscarred\u201d by the couple\u2019s trip to the Caribbean last year, adding: \u201cThat imagery will be at the forefront of their minds in every set piece.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[From The Times]<\/p>\n
Just so we\u2019re clear, \u201cCharles invited his second son to the family gathering, the Duke of Sussex is not making the trip from California\u201d<\/em> becomes \u201cKing Charles relishes global role \u2014 but still won\u2019t see Harry.\u201d<\/em> More like Harry<\/em> won\u2019t see his dogsh-t father. More like Harry is the one who has distanced himself from his colonizer family while they run around telling reporters that they\u2019re not ready to make peace with him. I bet you anything that the palace only invited Harry – as in, “you can come to your father’s birthday party but Meghan and the children are not welcome.”<\/em> Anyway, this piece says more about Charles and Camilla\u2019s Kenyan tour than anything else – they know it didn\u2019t actually go that well, which is why they immediately deflected to Harry. It used to be a winning strategy. After four years, the play is as obvious as it is sad. But hey, at least the palace got a good cut in there about William and Kate\u2019s idiotic Caribbean tour.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.celebitchy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/coverimages53176763-1.jpg\")
