Just an aging father looking at his son and recognizing that history isn’t merely something written about kings after they die.
It lives inside their children.
Harry cannot erase the years of estrangement.
Charles cannot return to the beginning and make different choices.
They find it, when they can, through what they choose to do after finally admitting what the past cost.
It will be decided by something much more difficult.
King Charles III is still alive despite a viral report claiming otherwise.
According to the New York Post, Buckingham Palace got involved on Monday,
“We are happy to confirm that The King is continuing with official and private business,” the palace shared in a statement to the Russian state-run TASS news agency on Monday.
The Russian media outlet’s original report replicated correspondence from the palace, even including the monarch’s official seal. “The following announcement is made by royal communications. The King passed away unexpectedly yesterday afternoon,” the fake statement read.
Speculation about Charles’ health has ramped up amid reports that the BBC is preparing for a major announcement regarding the royal family. While some fans believe that the news will be about Princess Kate Middleton and her whereabouts following her abdominal surgery, other rumors suggest the palace will offer an on Charles’ cancer battle.
“His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which
time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties,” the palace noted last month. “Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.”
Days later, Charles addressed his diagnosis for the first time in a personal statement released via Buckingham Palace.

“I would like to express my most heartfelt thanks for the many messages of support and good wishes I have received in recent days,” he said on February 10. “As all those who have been affected by cancer will know, such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement.”
Charles said it was “heartening to hear” from others with similar stories. “My lifelong admiration for their tireless care and dedication is all the greater as a result of my own personal experience,” he concluded.
While Charles has kept his public-facing duties to a minimum, he has hosted various meetings at Buckingham Palace while other royal family members have attended events in his place outside the residence.
Three 18-year-olds have been charged with first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of longtime sports radio personality Jimmy Dodds, whose death has shaken the Kansas City, Kansas, community and renewed concerns about youth violence.
Dodds, 64, was killed Sunday outside his home in the 3000 block of 82nd Terrace in Kansas City, Kansas.
Known to generations of listeners as “Uncle Jimmy,” Dodds built a following through his work in sports talk radio and was also a longtime employee of the Wyandotte County Sheriff’s Office.
