King Charles warned of ‘familial abdication’ as monarch has ‘obstacle’

King Charles is facing “great obstacles” within the monarchy following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s “familial abdication”, royal author Katie Nicholl has claimed. Speaking to the ToDiFor Daily podcast, Ms Nicholl said: “I think what are the greatest obstacles well, let’s look close to home. There’s obviously Harry; the book, and the docuseries.”This sort of familial abdication as I describe it in the book is a real obstacle for Charles.”I think we look to the Royal Family as a symbol of unity, as a family to aspire to and look up to and yet there is this rift at the heart of the house of Windsor.”I think that’s absolutely something that’s very high up on the agenda for the King to sort out because it’s also incredibly distracting and overshadowing a lot of the good work that the Royal Family are doing.”Then there are constitutional issues, bigger issues overseas with the Commonwealth and what that’s going to look like under Charles’ reign and whether we’re going to see that breakdown.READ MORE: Mike Tindall stars in Pizza advert for Dominos King Charles is facing “great obstacles” within the monarchy, an expert has claimed (Image: GETTY) Meghan and Harry stepped down from royal duties in March 2020 (Image: GETTY)”Closer to home, the United Kingdom and the big issue with Scotland and whether that’s going to stay part of the UK.”These are all really big issues for King Charles.”Meghan and Harry have been accused of setting off “time bombs” under the Royal Family.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have “set off time bombs” under the Royal Family, an expert has claimed.Meghan and Harry’s latest installment with Netflix plus the Duke’s memoir is set to “cause all sorts of problems” for the Royal Family, royal expert Douglas Murray has claimed.He alleged the paymasters of the couple’s finances will want to get the series and book out ahead of King Charles’ coronation next year.Speaking to Sky News Australia, Mr Murray said: “Netflix and Prince Harry’s publishers will want to get the book and the series out ahead of the coronation and that will cause all sorts of problems.DON’T MISSMeghan and Harry ‘getting ahead’ of Netflix backlash [INSIGHT]Harry and Meghan ‘hurt Queen’ after declining Balmoral invites – claim [ANALYSIS]Meghan U-turns on royal ‘threat’ and admits ‘positives’ from ex-life [VIDEO] Line of succession (Image: EXPRESS)”Instead of the coronation being a happy event, it will be laden down with the latest claims and moans of the Sussexes.”Put it off until after the coronation and it’s not much better.”It’s like they’ve announced a couple of time bombs they’ve set to go off under the Royal Family.”I just wish that this couple could put anyone ahead of themselves but it seems they can’t, not even their nearest and dearest.”
