King Charles, Prince Harry & Balmoral: Forgiveness and Burnt Bridges

Prince Harry's Balmoral Prospects

• ⚠️ Panelists believe Prince Harry is unlikely to be invited to Balmoral this summer, stating his "bridges are well and truly burnt."
• 💬 There is disagreement on whether King Charles has truly forgiven Harry, especially after past insults to his wife and country.
• 👑 The King's previous statements about an "open door" for Harry are questioned, with some suggesting they were a PR move.

VJ Day Wreath Controversy

• 🕊️ Prince Harry laid a "discrete note and wreath" paying tribute to forgotten heroes of the Pacific War and Prince Philip on VJ Day.
• 🚨 This act was widely perceived by panelists as a PR stunt, part of an "operation rebuild Harry," and seen as detracting from the main event.
• 🎯 Critics suggested Harry should have issued a statement instead of a public gesture that overshadowed the King's presence.

Prince Philip's Legacy and Harry's Actions

• 🚫 Panelists strongly believe Prince Philip would have disliked being used as a tool or having the focus on him rather than the veterans.
• 🎖️ As a humble serviceman, Prince Philip would have preferred the focus to be on his shipmates and those who lost their lives, not himself.

Harry's Advisory Challenges

• 🧠 Harry's perceived missteps are attributed to a lack of senior, experienced advisors since he is "cut off" in California.
• 💡 Past advisors like Lord Janvrin and David Manning are cited as examples of the high-level guidance Harry once had but now lacks.
