New book ‘Betrayal’ by Tom Bower exposes King Charles’ inability to swiftly remove Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, citing the monarch’s “dithering” when it came to taking appropriate action against his brother and youngest son. The pressures began mounting as early as 2023 following the Coronation on May 6th, with many Britons appalled by Andrew and Harry’s behavior.
Bower reveals that Charles was criticized for failing to resolve these embarrassments conclusively, weakening the Crown’s reputation and questioning his own and Camilla’s popularity. Public opinion mattered significantly in this context.
The book has sparked a reaction from Prince Harry, who through a spokesperson accused Bower of ‘brainwashing’ at Meghan’s hand and making a career out of constructing elaborate theories about unknown individuals. The spokesperson stated that those seeking facts should look elsewhere, while those interested in conspiracy and melodrama know where to find them.
