After the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Charles became the new King of England with the royal title "Charles III".
The day after the Queen's death, on 9 September, Charles III delivered his first national televised address through the BBC, recalling the Chinese and English versions of the video stamp:

Interestingly, in his speech (John 07:40), Charles specifically mentioned his son-in-law and daughter-in-law, Harry and Megan, and sent blessings:
"I also want to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas."
“I want also to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas”.
Many friends see here and say: Charles's demeanor is very good, and he is warmed up!
Recently, however, multiple media outlets broke the news that when the Queen of England was critically ill, Prince Harry was eager to see her grandmother for the last time.
But the 'cruel' thing is that no one in the entire royal family has informed him of the death of Elizabeth II, and he, like the majority of netizens, actually learned that his grandmother died on the Internet!
The news came from Prince Harry's friend.
The news of the death was announced at 6:30 p.m. local time, just minutes before Prince Harry flew from London to Aberdeen Airport in Scotland.
However, as an "outsider" of the royal family, he was excluded from flying with his brother Prince William, his uncle Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and others, and had to arrive alone by private jet.
Allegedly, due to the urgency of time, when the Queen of England died, only Prince Charles and Princess Anne were present, and everyone else was on the way.
Prince Harry arrived "alone" at Balmoral Castle at about 8 p.m. With the Queen's death, Harry's relationship with the royal family will drift apart.
Not only that, but the British media revealed that Harry was forbidden to eat at the same table with his father Charles III and brother William that night, and finally he was arranged to have dinner with other members of the royal family.
It is reported that this is because the royal family believes that Harry may leak the contents of the conversation to Megan, or even make it public.
The insider further revealed that due to the delay of the RAF flight, Megan postponed the trip to Scotland, so Megan was actually fully able to rush to Balmoral to attend the royal family dinner.
However, Charles made it clear that he refused Megan to attend the royal family dinner. Charles believed that the farewell to Her Majesty the Queen should be limited to the closest family members.
Interestingly, Princess Kate, one of the most core members of the royal family, did not travel to Scotland to meet the queen for the last time.
The official explanation was, "It was the first day of school, and Kate needed to stay at home to take care of the children and send them to school." ”
I wonder if this is a deliberate move to take care of Harry Megan's emotions?
Although on September 10, Prince William texted Harry at the last minute inviting him and Meghan to the Queen's funeral. The move was interpreted by the media as a "move of reconciliation".
But after all, the other members of the royal family rushed to the queen's side at the first time on September 8, leaving only Harry alone.
This is Prince Harry's first reunion with his family since he left the royal family in March 2020 and moved to the United States.
Because Prince Harry was not allowed to sit on his family's flights to and from Balmoral , the royal family's practice was also criticized by some media outlets.
Although he served in the British army for 10 years, Prince Harry was forbidden to wear military uniform during the funeral because of the agreement, after all, he was stripped of his rank when he left the royal family, which is also an important reason for his crazy leaks of the royal family to vent his anger.
The death of Queen Elizabeth II has made the royal family want to reconcile with Harry and return to a family, especially Charles and William want to negotiate peace with Harry.
So over the past two weeks, the palace has decided to observe etiquette, allowing Prince Harry to attend the funeral of Grandma Queen Elizabeth II as a prince, and making an exception for him to wear a military uniform for the vigil.
Despite these "efforts", there is no real harmony. Apparently, Harry and Meghan are now rebels.
It was revealed that Prince William inherited an ancestral home worth more than a billion pounds after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, while Prince Harry had nothing.
Their residence was only a few kilometres away from their brother William, but the two brothers had never had private contact, and the last time they were photographed in the same frame was at Prince Philip's funeral.
After the Queen's death, Harry did not accompany William when they left Balmoral Castle.
And it is said that Prince Harry's dress is also making some distinctions in the dark, letting him know that there is a difference between dignity and inferiority, such as the absence of "Elizabeth Regina" details on his epaulettes.
On September 17, although it appeared that Prince Harry was allowed to wear a military uniform for the vigil, the "ER" badge symbolizing the Queen on the epaulettes was gone.
In contrast, Prince Andrew, who was also stripped of his rank and royal duties because of the X scandal and so on, did not remove the ER badge during the vigil! Such differential treatment has also made some media dissatisfied.
Prince Harry was indeed upset that he could not wear a military uniform for the funeral, but he also carried it out according to plan.
Some netizens said that in theory, in fact, he chose to withdraw from the royal family and clear the relationship with the royal family, according to the reason, if he did not perform his obligations, he would not enjoy the rights, and no one owed him.
However, another person argued that although he quit the royal family and was also the grandson of the queen, the family affection was still there, and leaving the royal family did not mean that the six relatives did not recognize it, and did not mean parting ways with the relatives of the family;
He had the right to say goodbye to his loved ones, even as an ordinary man, and it was indeed too cruel for the royal family to do so.
Many sources and media said that both sides are also doing their best to repair the relationship, especially the re-same frame of "F4" has made a large number of royal fans really excited:
Downton International, UK
"The extended family will always have all kinds of dramas and will experience some chaotic things. Whether they are closer or farther remains to be seen. But it was always a pleasure to see Harry standing with his family again. ”
But is this really the case?
According to another revelation from foreign media on September 10,
The reason why Harry's wife, Megan, did not go to see the queen for the last time was precisely because someone did not want Meghan to see the queen, and that person was the current king of England, Charles.
Harry and Meghan were on their way to Balmoral Castle when Charles called his son and asked her not to bring Megan over.
"In this sad moment, it is not right and inappropriate for Megan to appear in Balmoral and don't add to it."
A person familiar with the matter said that when the family was initially informed, Prince William was called but not Harry, because insiders "generally do not like Meghan very much".
At that time, there was a media "official announcement" that Harry and Meghan were on their way to Balmoral Castle, and when they heard the news, the people in the palace could not believe it; Everyone was relieved to learn that Megan did not come.
Perhaps, it was Charles's phone call that made the obstruction successful.
Do you think that's the end of it?
On September 22, local time, the British "Sun" reported another shocking news:
King Charles III is considering stripping his grandson Archie and granddaughter Lilibert of the title of prince/princess, and the specific decision will be directly related to the content of Harry and Megan's upcoming memoirs and documentaries.
The surprising point of this news is that this is not a regular decision, and Charles's move is contrary to the Royal Succession Act of 1917, which is currently being enforced by King George V.
Under the Royal Succession Act, the titles of the remaining members of the royal family will be automatically renewed after Queen Elizabeth II dies and Charles becomes king.
For example, Prince William, the former Duke of Cambridge, automatically became Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall, and Kate Middleton naturally became the new Princess of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall;
Archie and Lilibet, as grandsons and granddaughters of the current monarch, will automatically have the title of Prince, Princess and Her Royal Highness (HRH).
However, after the Queen's death, the order of succession to the throne has long been updated, such as William's title has become The Prince of Wales;
Prince George naturally became Prince George of Wales, with the third-placed Charlotte title updated to Princess Charlotte of Wales and fourth-placed Louis the Prince Louis of Wales.
But what about Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor and Miss Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor, who are sixth and seventh, respectively?
The titles of the two did not change, they did not become princes or princesses, and the Master and Miss attached to the names only indicated that they were the children of the Jazz.
This is contrary to the Succession to the Throne Act of 1917 and is extremely surprising.
So the question is: Can the 1917 Succession to the Throne Act be broken?
Of course. Just as King George V could enact the Succession to the Throne Act, subsequent British monarchs could change or supplement or break the Act, but only if they did so.
After 1917, Queen Elizabeth II broke through the Ordinance on 31 December 2012 granting all the children of the Prince of Wales' eldest son, Princess Prince, and His Highness (under the original Succession Law, only George was the only member of William's family who could receive the title of Prince at that time).
Kate was pregnant with Charlotte when the ordinance was enacted, and the ordinance was considered a special gift from the Queen's grandmother to her granddaughter-in-law, Kate.
— Obviously, this breakthrough is positive, and awarding titles is a sign of love. The Queen's love for her great-granddaughter Charlotte is also evident:
7-year-old Charlotte cried at the Queen's funeral and rushed to the hot search, and also told her brother "you have to bow"! Twelve moments is simply a queen remake...
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, May said that Archie's failure to receive the title of Prince was due to "skin color", which was a racial (actual) issue.
On August 29, 2022, an American magazine published an interview with Megan. "It takes a lot of effort to forgive the royals and heal the scars in their hearts," she said. ”
In this regard, some netizens said: Since Harry married Megan, he feels that the whole person is ruined, and any disapproval of them by the royal family is reasonable.
Others said that in the life-and-death situation, the members of the royal family should do something more humane.
