King Charles appears to be a smart monarch as he has saved the Firm with his sensible decisions amid ongoing crisis within the family.

The 74-year-old British King is playing a very long game when it comes to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle who have directly attacked some of the senior members of the royal family after quitting the Firm.

The royal family's silence has so far won against the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's bombshell claims. Harry and Meghan seemingly wanted to drag the royal family into the blame game, but Charles played sensibly and did not respond any of teh couple's allegations.

The monarch has not spoken back against any of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s claims in their interviews, documentaries and the Duke's memoir Spare. 

According to historian David Starkey, per The Mirror, the monarch is playing a “clever long game” with Harry and Meghan, including not mentioning at all his younger son in his speeches.

Majority of Britons and Americans not only say they don’t much like them, but they actually want Harry and Meghan stripped of their titles. 

Charles is actually playing a rather clever long game. He’s just letting events take their course, which royal experts believe is a very wise thing to do.

Professor MacLaran, co-author of Royal Fever: The British Monarchy in Consumer Culture, told Express UK: "It is certainly damaging to their brand to be pushed aside by the royals although it does presently set them up as a rebel brand with good potential to appeal to Millennials with their alternative visions of how to do royalty and humanitarian work."

According to a survey, conducted by YouGov between May 16 and 17 on 1,600 adults, 22 percent of those polled want Britain to become a republic in the future. While the support for the monarchy is higher than the support for a republic across all ages according to these findings, the margins are very narrow when considering the answers provided by those in the 18-24 age group.

Among the younger adults polled, 33 percent said Britain should continue to have a monarchy in the future while 31 percent backed the election of a head of state. Support for the monarchy was higher among those aged between 25 and 49 - with 56 percent supporting Britain being led by a monarch against 26 percent wanting a republic.
