The Evidence Suggesting King Charles is Secretly Backing Harry is Piling Up

Are Harry and the King in cahoots?

Richard Eden of the Daily Mail was much ridiculed when he fist unveiled his “Project Thaw” narrative—the idea that the King is secretly engaged with a cabal of civil servants who are trying to ease Harry back into public life in the United Kingdom.

But the co-ordinated messages now coming out of Harry’s office and the King’s office have taken this idea out of the realm of fact-free conspiracy theory.

Yesterday, at the state opening of Parliament, King Charles read out a speech which included a very specific pledge: “My government will take urgent action to tackle anti-semitism and ensure all communities are safe.”

This morning, Prince Harry published a lengthy opinion piece in the New Statesman — a famously left-leaning British magazine — warning of the deeply troubling rise in anti-semitism in the United Kingdom. He referenced the Golders Green terrorist attack, and the murders at Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester.

I would point out that Harry has not spoken out about anti-semitism in the past, and for very good reason.

A man who wore a Nazi uniform to a party is not a good person to lecture the rest of us about anti-semitism, even though, according to Spare, the whole outfit thing was all Prince William and Catherine’s fault anyway, and he now seeks to frame it as part of some personal journey.

I looked at the New Statesman this morning and thought: typical Harry, stealing the thunder from Catherine while she’s off in Italy doing her event. Harry can’t let anyone breathe for 48 hours without getting stuck in.

Then, at about half past twelve, something extraordinary happened.

King Charles appeared in Golders Green. He met Shloime Rand and Norman Shine, the two Jewish men who were stabbed in an anti-Semitic terror attack there on April 29th. He met the Chief Rabbi, Sir Ephraim Mirvis. He met the Shomrim, the Jewish volunteer patrol who helped detain the attacker. He met the Hatzolah ambulance crew. He told a member of the public: “It’s a dangerous world, isn’t it?”

And I’m sitting there thinking: hang on a second.

Two Windsors. Same day. Same issue. Exactly the same carefully calibrated tone.

I went directly to the Sussex offices and asked them a simple question: was Harry’s New Statesman piece coordinated with the king’s office?

Don’t forget, we know that diary sharing happens between the king and Harry. That was the whole point of the meeting between Tobyn Andreae and Liam Maguire last summer, which was leaked to the Daily Mail. We all remember those photos of them on the terrace at a London club. We know they know what each other are doing in general terms.
