Take heart, @Chita
We don't want the RF to react to every bit of puff PR from the Hasbeens. The Harkles will be sending out lots more horrid barbs, I imagine - the Royals shouldn't stoop so low as to retaliate to every pathetic shot.
They would gain nothing by doing so - entering into a tit-for-tat PR slanging match is hardly at their level. They simply need to carry on as they are - with gravitas and occasional world class pomp & ceremony. Tiaras not tantrums, please!
Quietly working for their charities and the people of UK & Commonwealth, being our dignified Head of State and working Royal team. They are superbly showing up the Harkles for the talentless, disloyal d-list slebs that they have now sunk to.
1) He has thwarted the duo's scheming to become the media's Prince/ss of Wales - we saw Hazno playing polo with Harry Wales on his hat - and clearly so did his Papa - as he immediately promoted W&C and squashed the duo's aims flatter than a hedgehog under an 18 wheeler.
2) He subtly and cleverly (without being petty) booted themthe duckout of the Royal Team by declaring him the "overseas" son. Which we now see ties in rather neatly with points 5) and 6) It's almost as if this has all been planned!
3) He has maintained radio silence, despite the media onslaught about the private grandchildren's "automatic" titles. They haven't been granted. Slimmed down monarchy and all that. Perfect. No-one wants a Prince Comic growing up in the US. Ridiculous.
4) He has promoted his brother and sister to CoS, so should be obvious to everyone they are in the inner circle, despite what Smeg's PR is insinuating.
5) He has <chef's kiss> made the two wayward princes ineligible to serve in the Cos without having to look petty, or getting accused of meddling. It is their fault they cannot be CoS because they aren't meeting the criteria. Hazno lives overseas, now, doncha know.
6) All of which overseas-iness is rather clever, because the crux of Hazno's legal argument for continuing with his special securiddy ( at taxpayers' expense) is his place in the CoS/representing the King. Oops!! except now he doesn't. Thanks Chaz, for helping the taxayers' case. We salute you.
7) He has kept his entitled brother out of the limelight. PA deserves a quiet life as I don't believe Giuffre for a split second, but not a Royal one as he should have acted with more decorum; He has to pay the price of maintaining his friendship with a convicted paedophile (and unlike most if they lost their job due to bringing their company into disrepute, he gets to live comfortably, so good for Chaz for spelling this out to him.)
Not bad considering he only lost his mother in September, and has had a full schedule of Royal duties, too.
I'm sure the RF are carefully planning the coronation/ first year and will announce the good PR at strategic points. The RF usually get any "promotions" on their significant birthdays, so the newly crowned King recognising his loyal brother as DoE on his 60th birthday will be a lovely gesture.
I don't think they will touch the duo's titles until after the coronation as the focus - quite rightly - should be on Chaz and Cam. But after next Spring, I feel that that axe will fall. Bring it on!
Of course, as ever, my varied recollections only. Other lived truths may differ
Oh I love your list of what Charles has done.
It gives me faith and helps me keep heart.
now she's jumped on the trans bandwagon.
