Where King Charles could live as monarch 'doesn't enjoy living in one palace'

LONDON, England – Prince Harry faces a life of permanent "exile" with King Charles III plotting to follow the playbook drawn up by the royals when they overcame the crisis triggered by Edward VIII, the king who abdicated in 1936 and was obliged to live the rest of his life outside the U.K.  That's what the headlines in the gossip columns say about the recent return of Harry and Meghan to the U.K., but the truth is much different.  Let me explain. The Royal family evolves and divides after each reign with no one safe from exclusion.

King Charles III became a grandad for the very first time when he was 65 years old, after the Prince and Princess of Wales welcomed their first child, Prince George. The 73 year old is now a proud grandfather to five children - William and Kate's children, Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, four, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's two children, Archie, three, and one year old Lilibet. Charles also has five step-grandchildren through his wife Queen Consort Camilla's first marriage to Andrew Parker-Bowles.

King Charles III stands with his siblings as they take a moment ahead of the Commital Service for Queen Elizabeth II on Monday (September 19) in London, England.

A new era. King Charles III got emotional as Queen Elizabeth II‘s funeral came to an end and he received a tribute of his own.

King Charles shared a heartfelt statement on the eve of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. 

The King has issued a message of thanks to the nation on the eve of the Queen’s state funeral. Charles, 73, said he wanted, “as we all prepare to say our last farewell”, to offer his gratitude to “all those countless people who have been such a support and comfort to my Family and myself in this time of grief”.

As the country continues to mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince William and King Charles III praised their support.

King Charles III waited for Queen Elizabeth II's casket to arrive at Buckingham Palace with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle directly behind him on a staircase Tuesday evening in London. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at the palace shortly before the queen's casket, and only after it made the journey from the RAF Northolt air station in Ruislip. Londoners lined the streets to get a chance to see the queen's casket before arriving at the palace.

History has been made…

Following the death of The Queen last week, King Charles has had a lot of changes to deal with as he became the new monarch following his mother’s sad passing. Alongside his grief, the new King, supported by his devoted wife, Camilla, Queen Consort must now navigate his mother’s funeral, his impending coronation and readjust to his life as the head of state, after spending so much of his life waiting to follow in his mother’s formidable footsteps.

King Charles III has officially ascended the British throne following his proclamation Saturday morning in the State Apartments of St. James's Palace in London.While he automatically became the new King of England following Queen Elizabeth II's death on Thursday, the Accession Council convened Saturday for what's considered a constitutional formality to recognize his sovereignty.

During the first-ever televised accession council ceremony, Charles III was proclaimed the King of the United Kingdom and fourteen Commonwealth realms.

King Charles reportedly told his son Prince Harry not to bring his wife Meghan Markle to Balmoral to see his dying grandmother. It is believed Harry, 37, who comforted an airport worker during his return to London, was at Frogmore when his father, the new monarch King Charles, 73, phoned his youngest son to tell him to come to Balmoral. A source told The Sun: “Charles told Harry that it wasn’t right or appropriate for Meghan to be in Balmoral at such a deeply sad time.

While Prince Charles immediately became King Charles III after Queen Elizabeth II died, there are still a few steps that must be taken before he is formally crowned. Queen Elizabeth had her coronation over a year after she actually became a monarch. Her father died in February 1952, and, due to an old common law rule in the country enacted to make sure the United Kingdom is never without a monarch, she became queen immediately.

King Charles shared his love for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in his speech Friday as he addressed the nation for the first time as Britain’s monarch.

King Charles III gave a moving speech Friday as the new monarch in which he expressed «sorrow» over the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, as well as «love» for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.While speaking about «a time of change» for his family, Charles, 73, carved out space in his speech to send his love to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who infamously stepped away from the royal life in 2020. Nevertheless, Charles acknowledged them after praising his wife Camilla, Queen Consort, and his heir, Prince William, and William's wife, Kate Middleton.«I count on the loving help of my darling wife, Camilla. In recognition of her own loyal public service since our marriage 17 years ago, she becomes my Queen Consort,» Charles said near the end of his speech.

Addressing the nation. King Charles III made his inaugural speech as the new monarch of the U.K. and its Commonwealth territories after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

King Charles III paid tribute to his mother Queen Elizabeth II and vowed to serve the British people with “loyalty, respect, and love” in his first televised speech as monarch.
