King Charles' decision to offer Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Archie and Lilibet an olive branch and a royal residence has been described as a betrayal of the Princess of Wales, according to Mail columnist Amanda Platell. She argues that the reunion will leave Kate feeling betrayed as she returns to public life after her cancer battle, having loyally filled the royal duties vacuum created by the Sussexes.
History of ‘Cruelty’ Towards Kate
Ms Platell highlights what she calls a history of cruelty towards Kate, referencing claims made in the books Finding Freedom and Spare, as well as Meghan’s Netflix assertion that Kate is “not a hugger” – which Ms Platell calls false. She notes that Prince William believes his father is making a serious misjudgment, insisting there is no place left in Britain for Harry or Meghan.
Call to Protect Kate
Ms Platell added: “William, you must stand firm and protect your family from the Sussexes' manipulation, which some have already derided as the 'emotional blackmail' of a frail and elderly father being held hostage by his opportunistic son and his grasping wife. Most of all, William, protect Kate.”
