King Charles’ ‘birthday nightmare’ with Prince Harry, William exposed

King Charles III is turning 74 today, November 14, 2022, and while it is likely a joyous occasion as his first birthday as monarch, his 70th birthday four years ago was less than joyous as per royal experts.

According to royal authors and experts Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, King Charles 70th birthday family photoshoot that saw him pose alongside wife Camilla, his sons Prince William and Prince Harry, and their wives Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, was far from a happy affair.

In their book Finding Freedom, Scobie and Durand cited a close royal source who branded the then-Prince Charles’ 70th birthday a ‘nightmare’.

Durand and Scobie wrote in their book: “The boys (Prince Harry, William) can be hot and cold with their father, disclosed a source, who gave the example of planning the photo session for Charles' 70th birthday, which they called an absolute nightmare.”

“Neither William nor Harry made much of an effort to make themselves available,” they added.

It is pertinent to highlight that King Charles ascended the British throne in September this year after the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth, at the age of 73, making him the oldest royal to become monarch.
