His spokesperson isn’t doing him any favors, it’s showing him as entitled as ever.
None of these events are about you, just sit down and shush and shush or even better don’t come.
I think the RF have gone completely silent on personal communication which is frustrating them. As a duke and son of the new king he will be invited but they will be seated according to their actual rank, not the pretend one they had when he hung about with William. We know that isn’t good enough so in their eyes it’s a snub.
They won’t be invited to anything personal as they can’t be trusted to not reveal private conversations.
This ‘toxic’ comment also reveals what we suspected, that no one talked to them at either of those events either and they were frozen out and managed.
Unfortunately precedence wise he
does have high rank. When QEII died, all her kids (bar Charles obvs) were immediately demoted and Sparold was promoted. Sons rate higher than siblings.
I know the invitation being extended has driven lots of you mad but I think royal protocol has meant that it basically
had to be. You can’t fully exclude the third highest ranking male! And don’t forget the coronation is distilled protocol, everything having to follow strict ancient rules.
What’s driving Sparry and Smeg mad is that KCIII is obviously chucking out precedence. He’s clearly ranking working royals higher than them. They’re not getting the balcony which is probably just the Waleses, I’ll be stunned if they’re allowed in the carriage procession and yet I’m sure the Wessexes, Anne, Alexandra, Gloucesters and Kents
will get that.
I’m pretty sure the palace has planned this so that the Narcles almost have no choice but to decline. They will have been given blunt info about what to expect; poor seats, no summit beforehand, certainly no apology, no Waleses contact whatsoever, no role to play, no carriage procession, no uniform, etc. The RF won’t be protecting them from the boos. The pair know it will be excruciatingly awkward, ‘toxic’ and the deathknell for their ‘brand’. The RF tick the protocol box, look magnanimous by inviting them but engineer a refusal. I’ll be
amazed if they come but if they are idiotic and hypocritical enough to brazen it out anyway, it will be absolutely hysterical to watch, not least because I’m pretty sure they now hate each other and that will be on display as well the booing!
