A royal commentator has claimed that King Charles has been portrayed unfairly by Prince Harry amid the ongoing tensions within the Royal Family.
The latest debate follows Prince Harry's decision not to bring his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to the UK this month. According to commentator Kinsey Schofield, the situation appears to have been handled in a way that casts the King in a negative light.
Speaking to TalkTV, Schofield said: "This all felt like a painfully orchestrated PR stunt. From the beginning, my prediction was that Meghan and the kids would not come, and Harry would say it's because of security, all to yet again villainise his father and say, 'look at my dad not taking care of us and not making my family feel safe in the UK.'"
The comments come after reports that King Charles had previously extended an olive branch to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their family.
A spokesperson for Prince Harry responded to reports surrounding accommodation arrangements, saying: "I am aware of multiple briefings from Buckingham Palace last week suggesting that the Duke had not accepted the offer of accommodation at a Royal Residence.
"Following RAVEC's decision not to provide security for his family, the Duke spent last week making alternative security arrangements."
The issue of security has remained a key point of contention for Prince Harry since stepping back from royal duties, with the Duke maintaining that it has influenced decisions about bringing his family to the UK.
