Out of respect for a dead Princess.

Harry isn't really a middle child (click here), but, there are those that claim birth order has an effect on personality. I rarely comment on such popular gossip, but, I find my conscience bothering me as I read some of the articles regarding the Royal Family of Great Britain.

In all honesty, if this was an American complaining about family dysfunction it would never make the news and absolutely not a book. So, for a couple that wants a normal life as I believe Megan and Harry stated they wished for, writing an inflammatory book about the Royals is hardly wanting a normal life.

There was an article (click here) that came before me recently stating that Charles could be removed from power and his coronation denied by the Church of England as he is divorced. I would find that unfortunate, because all people that would be cast out of prestige Prince William should never be ignored. Prince William, of royal birth both father and mother is a sincere heir to the throne. He is a good and decent guy that is in touch with his generation and expresses their concerns regularly.

I like William. It would be terrible if he was denied leadership in Great Britain. Removing Charles would bring that about as the lineage would fall to Princess Anne. I don't know how she would feel following in her mother's footsteps, but, she was diligently present at the funeral proceedings of the dead queen.

I think what needs to be said is that Diana would be Queen had the divorce not taken place. I think that should matter. Her sons would have a rightful place in the lineage of the former Queen and it should be preserved. In stating that, I firmly believe Queen Consort should be maintained for Camilla. She, after all, was somewhat instrumental in the marriage failure. No one can deny that.

As to Harry. He is free to live his life as he wishes and away from the business of the family. He may actually object to his role in the Royal Family. He is allowed his own conscience.

Diana Spenser was a very special woman that took the power granted to her and used it to benefit others. She was exceptional in every way and her sons are a testament to those qualities. William obviously carries his responsibilities well, as did Diana. Harry has his own voice of which I am confident she would approve of and the fact his father is miffed only solidifies his mother strongly embedded in his personality. It could be said that Harry speaks for Diana in exposing the underbelly of the Royals. 

But, the Church of England needs to take their role seriously and do what is right for Diana's children. The Late Queen Elizabeth II would strongly support the Church in any of its decisions. She did let her preference be known before she died. She was interested in her family lineage continuing to lead and William and his son George was all a part of that picture.

I think Harry and his wife Megan are great people and are not afraid of the truth or living the truth in full view of the world's interests. That is about as close to gossip I will venture into. Everyone have a good day.

London - Prince Harry, (click here) the memoirist and estranged son of the House of Windsor, launched a full broadside against Buckingham Palace on Sunday and Monday, appearing in more interviews to promote his new book, “Spare,” claiming his family, especially his stepmother, Camilla, now the Queen Consort, is actively feeding negative stories to the press about him and his wife, Meghan.

Harry said he is often asked in America, his new home, “How could you ever forgive your family for what they’ve done?”

In Britain, the royal family may ask the same about Harry, who has broken the fourth wall of the royal soap opera and named the names of those he says have leaked against him, including his father, King Charles III and his wife Camilla, and his brother Prince William and his wife Catherine — and their PR teams....
