Can King Charles cure a crisis of the royal family before it is too late?

King Charles III was occupied last week during the marking of the 80th anniversary of the Allied victory over Nazi Germany and preparing to fly to Canada to open his parliament later this month. But his public schedule was still overshadowed by a highly publicized eruption of his farmful son, Prince Harry.

It has become a familiar model for the 76 -year -old monarch. Two years after his coronation, his reign promises to be both hectic and strangely immutable in his central story – that of a besieged father managing a disorderly brood.

Harry’s emotional advocacy to reconcile with his family – made in a recent interview with the BBC, in which he thought about the duration of the duration of his father struck by cancer – has resurfaced in the family of royal breaks, which has not yet found foot in the Carolinean era still slippery.

“There is an overhang in the way we see the reign of Charles,” said Ed Owens, a historian who writes on the British monarchy. “It didn’t really happen, and we are not sure how long it will last.”

Certainly, the king did a lot. Although he suffered weekly treatment for cancer diagnosed last year, he went to France, Australia, Poland and Italy. He found the time to manage a reading list for Apple Music (Kylie Minogue and Bob Marley Feature), played the state banner host and posed for portraits.

But Harry’s comments, who came after a legal defeat on his security arrangements in Great Britain, drew attention to the Rift which opened in 2020 when he and his wife, Meghan, withdrew from royal life and moved to California.
