Cheers for King Charles as he ignores Harry and Meghan


Londoners today left King Charles in no doubt that he enjoys their support in the wake of Harry and Meghan’s transatlantic tirades in their Netflix mini-series.

His Majesty was given a rockstar’s welcome as he arrived at the JW3 Jewish community centre in Finchley Road, North London, as the Jewish community prepares to celebrate Chanukah on Sunday.

The monarch has maintained his dignified silence and continued his duties while his son and daughter-in-law go rogue in California.

But he didn’t let the hurt show, dancing joyously to the Hora with members of the Jewish community, holding the hands of two pensioners and dancing in a circle to whoops and cheers.

Charles also looked delighted when a crowd gathered to chant his name outside. The King waved furiously and grinned at the well-wishers. It came after crowds turned out at Westminster Abbey to cheer William and Kate last night, shouting: ‘We love you’.

The monarch is said to have vowed never to watch the Netflix series, which Harry and Meghan have used to brutally attack Charles, William and Kate. 

But while he has stayed silent on the Sussexes,  Charles today spoke of his grief at the tragedy in Jersey.

King Charles III has sent a letter to residents in Jersey giving them his ‘deepest possible sympathy and condolences’ following the island’s recent tragedies.

In a letter signed by the King, he said: ‘My wife and I have been so dreadfully shocked and saddened by the terrible tragedies in St Helier and at sea off St Ouen’s Bay.’

It continued: ‘At this time of great sorrow and grief, my deepest possible sympathy and condolences go to the families and friends who have lost their loved ones, and to all islanders who have been affected by these heart-breaking events.

‘Your immeasurable sense of loss and anguish is very keenly felt and, in the days ahead, the people of the Bailiwick of Jersey will remain in my thoughts and prayers.’

Last night Britons showed their deep affection for the Prince and Princess of Wales as they arrived at Westminster Abbey having maintained a dignified silence as Harry and Meghan went to war with them.

There were audible cheers from members of the public who shouted ‘Kate, we love you’ and ‘Prince William, we love you’ as they stood in the cold to greet the future king and queen.

Inside the Abbey last night, William – watched by the king, George and Charlotte and more than 15 family members – hailed the ‘spirit of togetherness’ at Christmas in the face of relentless attacks by his younger brother and his actress wife.

The Royal Family members gathered for the dignified display of solidarity hours after Harry and Meghan attacked the institution again and again in their Netflix documentary. 

Poignantly, William read a passage from the late Queen’s 2012 Christmas message in which Her Majesty said she was ‘always struck by the spirit of togetherness’ at Christmas.

It was a time, she had added, ‘when we remember that God sent his only son to serve, not to be served’. Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace have said they will not comment on Harry and Meghan’s claims – with the King said to be determined never to watch the six-part series.

A royal source told the Mirror: ‘Some astonishing claims have been made but the family are determined to stick together and maintain a dignified silence. They will not be dragged into a tit-for-tat row.’

While the palaces have refused to comment on the claims, sources have made clear that there is immense sadness and frustration about the Sussexes’ decision to yet again air family problems in public.

There was no suggestion that William intended the striking message to be contrasted with the example of his own brother, who turned on his family in yesterday’s Netflix series. Indeed it was planned long before the documentary.
