Prince Harris has lost access to buying a security in the United Kingdom. The denial is the second most crucial issue in Tuesday's BBC News report. Harry and Meghan have been in the news over the stoppage of work as members of the Royal family in London and recently in a sham report of a New York Paparazzi chase. So, now the die is cast, what would be the next move by the former royals?
When two children cut a tree in the forest, the elders will know where the tree will fall. It is an African proverb to teach children to rely on the elders' wisdom when making far-reaching decisions. However, Harry and Meghan were not children when they decidedly abandoned royal work for reasons tied to abuse and accusation of racism. Instead, they moved to the United States and began a private life, making money and engaging in media interview blitz and book publishing.
London and former royals now in private life in the U.S. continued engaging in a frenzy media war that put the late Queen Elizabeth and his son -Charles - who succeeded his mother as a new King a challenging situation. Royalty is a traditional setting with restriction and fame compared to a private life of freedom and glitterati. Money is not a problem in the royal circle and the opposite. So, Harry and Meghan are at home monetarily as royals and private citizens. However, observers have missed the estrangement between the couple who left London to settle in the U.S. and the long-established royals in London.
Is whoever may have declared the war a relevant question now other than there is a war? Harry and Meghan have declared themselves victims. Is their media interviews and book publication reactions to what they have suffered? Well, a battle between royals and a son is not new. The Bible records the war between David and Absalom. The lesson from the story is about victory and defeat and that no matter David never wished evil for Absalom. David had supporters like his son, urging them to destroy one another.
The same is applicable today between the royals in London and the two of them in private life. Harry is not in line for succession to propel one to say he wants to be on the throne, which gives his and Meghan's fight against abuse and racism credibility. His presence at Charles' coronation and the reasons for Meghan and the children's absence are another way of saying there is no feud between the couple and the royals. But is it true there is no feud between them? Content of aired interviews from the U.S. and Harry's published book does not suggest a feud-free relationship. Can this be a cold war?
Observers say, whatever the case, Harry and his family's security needs in London perfectly measure the desire for Harry's requirement for involvement with King Charles 111. Harry requires burying the hatchet, embracing humility, seeking forgiveness for some lines in his book tarring the king, and forsaking everything amounting to a full-blown war with the royals to avoid instances such as a lack of security around him and his family in London. But, like the one in New York about the alleged Paparazzi's chase and the hoax embarrassment, it can also be part of history.
Otherwise, continue with your struggle as a private citizen. You have everything at the tips of your fingers as royals, but not so as commoners. However, you have tasted a little of commoners' experience. And you may have to brace up to write a book about commoners as a former royal.
