Prince Harry: The Idiot Son Charles Can’t Quite Let Go

The king can’t let the idiot go off into the sunset. He knows the idiot will ruin everything.

For nearly five years now, Prince Harry has lived outside the gilded cage of monarchy. He traded palace walls for Montecito mansions, military regalia for Netflix contracts, and the invisible crown of duty for the spotlight of celebrity. But while the institution has made it abundantly clear that Harry will never again be a working royal, one man refuses to let go of the idea of reconciliation: his father, King Charles III.

To some, this is the story of a monarch softening with age. To others, it’s a tale of a father clinging to the fantasy of saving his “darling boy”(idiot son) before it’s too late.
