The realm is once more unsettled. Word has arisen that Prince Harry and his consort, Meghan Markle, have cast down a gauntlet most grievous before the Crown. With voices bold and unyielding, the Duke and Duchess are said to have proclaimed their right to a princely inheritance, a sum of one hundred million, declaring: “We remain of royal blood, whether it pleaseth you or no.”
Such utterance hath struck like a thunderclap within the gilded halls of Buckingham. Courtiers whisper in anxious tones, whilst His Majesty King Charles is reported to be most sorely vexed, his brow heavy with wrath. What was thought a breach long mended now gapes wider, reopening wounds of kinship and loyalty.
Across the kingdom and beyond, the cry resounds: is this bold petition but a grasp for power, or doth it mark a deeper treachery to the ancient House of Windsor? Some see in Harry and Meghan’s stance the defiance of exiles seeking their due; others behold in it a perilous challenge to the very sanctity of crown and lineage.
In the chronicles of the monarchy, few quarrels have burned with such heat in the public eye. And so, as the court seethes and the people muse, the fate of inheritance and honor hangs uncertain—woven now into the ever-turning tapestry of royal strife.
