We first worked together back in our Daily Beast days: Tim was my editor, and he played a pivotal role in getting The Royalist newsletter off the ground in the first place. So having him here this evening feels not just professionally rewarding, but genuinely emotional \u2014 a bit of a full-circle moment, really.<\/p>\n
Tim\u2019s r\u00e9sum\u00e9 speaks for itself: award-winning journalist, multiple honours from the New York Press Club, the Los Angeles Press Club, and the NLGJA, and author of In Bed with Gore Vidal, a razor-sharp, intimate portrait of one of America\u2019s most complicated literary figures. He\u2019s one of the most perceptive observers of modern celebrity and monarchy around \u2014 and I can\u2019t think of anyone better to dissect tonight\u2019s big royal story.<\/p>\n
Because, as always, there\u2019s plenty of royal drama \u2014 but the one story towering over everything else right now is the apparent collapse of the fragile reconciliation between King Charles and Prince Harry.<\/p>\n
After months of careful bridge-building, it\u2019s all gone up in smoke again thanks to Harry\u2019s latest intervention \u2014 a direct letter to the British Home Secretary, asking for taxpayer-funded security to be reinstated for his visits to the U.K. This comes just weeks after his first proper meeting with his father in nearly two years \u2014 a meeting that was meant to mark a new start.<\/p>\n
Instead, Palace aides are saying, \u201cWe\u2019re back to where we were.\u201d And that bleak phrase really sums it up \u2014 all that work, undone in a single move.<\/p>\n
So that\u2019s where we\u2019re going to start tonight \u2014 with the big question: *why does Harry keep doing this?* Is it stubbornness, naivety, ego \u2014 or is there something deeper going on here?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m going to be streaming live on YouTube then posting on Substack afterwards. This will allow me to share images and get the closed captioning issue resolved, hopefully!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
