Recently, King Charles of England returned from a state visit to France, and some of his actions showed that he was loosened both physically and mentally. This also brought some changes to the people inside the royal family.
During this trip, Charles appeared unusually quiet and easygoing, completely without the strong style of the past. Some commentators have analyzed that he may feel physically tired and no longer wants to maintain the tough posture of the royal family.
This also indicates that he may adopt a more flexible and enlightened strategy in dealing with the internal affairs of the royal family.
Charles is no longer as secretive as he used to be when it comes to his inheritance.
He decisively adopted the practice of absolute monarchy, ensuring that his property was passed on to the rightful heirs of the royal family, and would never be exported and distributed to the collateral family, so as not to cause disputes in the royal family in the future.
This disappointed Charles' second wife, Camilla. Camilla had always hoped that the children born to her and her predecessor, Prince Andrew, would also receive certain royal titles and status, and become illustrious earls or princesses.
But Charles took a tough stance this time and flatly refused to allow Camilla's other children to enter the royal succession. Camila was disappointed and angry about this.
Camilla believes that Charles is doing this too unfairly. She was determined to take action to fight for the honorary status her children deserved. So Camilla had a plan in mind and tried to persuade Charles to change his mind.
She decided to communicate sincerely with Charles first, expressing her feelings as a mother, hoping that he would be considerate of compromise.
Camila believes that as long as she discusses the issue calmly with her husband, she can always find a solution acceptable to both parties. After all, many years of husband and wife relationship should be cherished and trusted.
This time, however, Charles was unusually tough. He believed that the purity of royal blood could not be fused and confused, which was the basis for maintaining royal power.
As king, he has a responsibility to strictly uphold this ancient tradition and not to give in. Camilla repeatedly pleaded, but Charles remained resolute and unmoved.
At this time, Charles seemed to have a new understanding of Camilla.
He discovered that Camilla had been in frequent contact with her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, recently, and the two often met privately. Charles fears that Camilla is colluding with Andrew in an attempt to influence the internal affairs of the royal family.
So, in anger, Camila made an extremely stupid decision, declaring that she would not participate in any royal visits in protest. She hoped to blackmail Charles into concessions, but this was counterproductive.
Charles decisively ordered that Camilla be temporarily replaced by Princess Anne in all public duties on behalf of the royal family.
Camilla suddenly lost all formal influence and could only watch her position in the royal family be rapidly weakened.
At this moment, Camilla suddenly realized that her reckless behavior was completely digging her own grave. She impulsively ignored her family, but let herself lose her original stable position.
And Charles showed no mercy and acted directly and decisively to reduce her power and honor.
In retrospect, Camilla's handling of this matter was indeed botched. She could have been more rational and discussed peacefully with her husband to resolve her differences rather than confront him.
Now that it is too late to regret, Camila can only learn from this painful lesson and be wiser and smoother in dealing with family conflicts in the future.
Camilla's situation has also triggered thinking about the royal family. There are comments that Camilla, as a new member of the royal family, should follow the rules of the royal family, rather than force special treatment.
At the same time, Charles, as a king, also needs to pay attention to strategies and treat his wife kindly, so as not to cause unnecessary family disputes.
It is foreseeable that this contest between husband and wife will have an impact on the relationship between the two. Camilla needs to rethink how to repair her image in the royal family, and Charles needs to examine how to better handle the needs of family members.
We'll see how the couple rebuilds the foundation of a relationship of mutual respect and understanding.
