"This crisis has definitely highlighted how very thin on the ground working royals are now, and it's only going to get worse until George, Charlotte and Louis grow up," royal expert Jennie Bond told an outlet. January 17 was apparently a chaotic day at the official seat of the British monarchy since the decision to announce Kate, Princess of Wales,' surgery was in tandem with King Charles' health condition as well.

"The family had discussed that if they wanted to go, they could, and would have everyone's good wishes," Levin added when describing what brought about "Megxit" in early 2020.

 If Harry and Meghan have made an effort to reach out to Kate to offer their best wishes, Kate will reciprocate," a mutual friend of Kate and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex spilled. Trust has been damaged, and I don't think they are ever going to be calling each other for a heart-to-heart like the old days, but it's time to move on." He feels he has lost Harry and doesn't want to know this version of him," Omid Scobie wrote in Endgame when sharing what the siblings' former pal spilled. "Because of these entrenched positions and the fact Harry has visited the U.K. without either of them, as far as we know, lifting a finger to phone or text or meet up, I really can't see them mending the rift any time soon," the royal expert added. As The Royal Observer previously reported, the rift that has developed between the once close royal siblings has been there for a few years now but went "nuclear" once Harry attacked William in his memoir, Spare.

In the wake of King Charles' "successful" prostate operation, His Majesty's advanced age of 75 has some commentators calling for his abdication from the throne in favor of his heir, Prince William. "I think that King Charles should abdicate, and I think that Prince William should step up and do the job, purely because I would love to see the reaction of Harry and Meghan," journalist Peter Lloyd told GB News' Mark Dolan. Based on the traditions of the British monarchy, and how intertwined life service of the monarch is worded in Parliament, it is highly unlikely King Charles III will abdicate like Denmark's Queen Margrethe. She then laid into the "sycophancy" built around the Prince of Wales by dishing: "William is a bit of a shirker, I've always thought - an entitled shirker. For 2023, the pair were dubbed by some "Their Royal Laziness" as William ended the year with 172 completed duties to Catherine's 123. You can hear it when Prince William speaks about how there's so much love and admiration for his mother," royal expert Gareth Russell told a publication last December.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have not made a public statement about the health conditions of Kate, Princess of Wales and King Charles III, and "should not be expected to do so." Since the news broke that King Charles III and the Princess of Wales were both stricken with health ailments, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have remained quiet, despite some reports suggesting they phoned the ill royals.

One wonders if this might just be the opening that's needed for a bit more dialogue between thecouple and the king, and possibly even Princess Catherine." "I think that's again an indication of the sort of normality that exists behind palace walls and behind those closed doors, that sort of insight into a family that we don't necessarily see, but does exist, and is indicative of a very, very close family." They share a very, very close bond, as do the queen and Catherine.. royal or not, I think everyone's apprehensive and often a little bit nervous before going under a procedure like this, and so probably seeing Catherine was the highlight of his day today. I suspect, knowing the king and his fitness regime - he's [an] incredibly healthy, fit, robust 75-year-old - that he won't be in hospital for very long.
