The public image of the prince Charles of England, 72, has always been like a roller coaster. The peak of unpopularity joined him after the infamous BBC interview with which Diana in 1995 he shocked the world – and embarrassed the Crown – by telling the world about theirs wedding “a little too crowded” (cause Camilla Parker Bowles). Twenty-three years later, in May 2018, it appeared instead as Meghan Markle’s “savior”: it was him, at the royal wedding with Harry, ad accompany the bride to the altar who had broken up with his father Thomas. A gesture that many media, since Time to Bbc, they defined as one of the most moving of marriage, causing Carlo, for once, to be acclaimed as the perfect family man. Less than three years later, the image of the exemplary knight has collapsed again. In thebomb interview to Oprah Winfrey, Harry told that his father (as well as the rest of the royal family) offered him no help when the British press “persecuted” his wife Meghan. Not only: after the Megxit Carlo would have stopped answering him on the phone (“better if you write to me”). Result: with the special of CBS, Carlo’s popularity fell, according to a YouGov poll, from 57 to 49 percent.
Carlo – either for the purely aesthetic factor, or for the virtually zero romanticism with which he conducted the relationship with Diana – it has never been associated with the figure of Prince Charming. Then the dramatic death of Lady D and his marriage to Camilla, his lifelong lover, made him disliked by many. Over the years, however – thanks to his convinced environmentalist vocation – he managed to win a flattering nickname: The green prince, the Green Prince. Accompanied by the less coveted title of “Forgotten princeThat the British press gave him because of a bitter record: at 72, he is the longest-awaited heir to the throne in UK history.
Mother Elizabeth II, at 94, does not seem at all willing to give him the crown. And this, according to several real observers, is good. For example Clive Irving recently said that Carlo is “Absolutely unfit to become king”: “He surrounds himself with minions and is not modern at all.” After the Sussex shock interview, the first to comment live was not the heir to the throne, but his son William: «The royal family is not racistSaid the prince during an official event. Carlo, shocked by the revelations of Harry and Meghan, closed himself in the deepest silence. But perhaps, in these dark days for the Crown, the 72-year-old is less passive and apathetic than he may seem. Second Page Six, behind the conciliatory official statement with which Queen Elizabeth replied to the Sussexes after the CBS special, there would be the mistreated eldest son. “It was him,” revealed a royal expert, “a formulate the Crown’s response to Harry and Meghan».
Carlo the traitor (on Diana), Carlo the romantic (with Camilla). Carlo icy father, Carlo who in his organic farm Duchy Home Farm talk to plants and chickens. Carlo “unfit to be king”, Carlo who “takes control of the situation” in moments of crisis. What is the real Carlo? Hard to say. The queen’s firstborn is a controversial figure. But in the end, even among mere mortals, how many could swear not to be? The prince has lights and shadows. Like all of us.
