King Charles and Return of the Prodigal Son Harry

Monday, July 13, 2026 at 8:43 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall
Torn-paper royal collage showing Harry’s family separated from Charles, Camilla, William and Kate.

King Charles welcomed Harry, Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet back into the royal fold. But iPINIONS contends this was no reconciliation. It was a truce shaped by illness, estrangement, and a family feud that Harry has turned into commercial content.

Bahamian revelers and Prime Minister Philip Davis on a beach beneath a looming British monarch.

The Bahamas celebrates 53 years of independence today with Junkanoo, flags, prayers, speeches, and patriotic pageantry. Yet the constitution still bows to a British king and the Privy Council. iPINIONS bemoans that’s not independence fulfilled. That’s independence deferred.

King Charles state visit to America with collage of Esptein, Starmer, Trump, Andrew and Mandelson

King Charles came to America bearing pomp, tea, and a civics lesson Trump’s America sorely needed. But iPINIONS contends that Epstein haunted the visit, Christian Turner undercut the special relationship, and Magna Carta exposed the absurdity of a republic flattering a wannabe king.

Jamaica, from monarchy to republic Jamaica is finally removing the British monarch as its head of state.

‘King Charles’ Dethroned!

Gayle King and Charles Barkley on set of their canceled show.

Cancellation of the ‘King Charles’ show  CNN’s King Charles showcased Gayle King and Charles Barkley discussing current events. Only weeks ago, I flagged it as the most cringe-inducing talk show since Fox’s The Magic Hour with Ervin “Magic” Johnson. In fact, the ratings for King Charles were anemic from the first episode. Moreover, it remained on life support until CNN finally pulled the plug last week. The CNN weekly prime time talk… Read more.

‘King Charles’: Barkley Sounding Too Much Like Kanye

Charles Barkley holding forth on Blacks and the Democratic Party as Gayle King looks on.

‘King Charles’ Charles Barkley is both informative and entertaining when discussing basketball. Clearly, CNN assumed he’d be equally so when debating politics and social issues. Spoiler alert: CNN couldn’t have been more wrong. I’ve watched several episodes of his show, King Charles. Suffice it to know that it came across as the most cringeworthy attempt by a sports star to host… Read more.

Charles evicts Harry and Meghan from Frogmore

‘South Park’ Lampoons Harry and Meghan Harry and Meghan are going through a rough patch. South Park just made them an international laughing stock. It lampoons their royal hypocrisy in its current episode. Even worse, though, it predicts the end of their fairy-tale marriage.

Speculation is rife about whether Harry and Meghan will attend Charles’ Coronation. But this is detracting from joyful anticipation of it. It’s as if the Coronation is all about them, not him. Will Harry and Meghan Attend the Coronation? Charles delivered a very moving first speech as king. He even made a point of wishing… Read more.
