After weeks of thunderous silence on the part of Buckingham Palace in the face of the book of the unruly Prince Harry, in which he revealed the dirty laundry in the delicate relations with the rest of the family, it seems that the British sovereign is going to fight back her hair.

According to a report by "The Mirror", King Charles - who in Harry's book is often mentioned in a negative light in view of the estranged attitude towards his son and in light of his relationship with Duchess Camilla during his marriage to Diana - is inclined to agree to the interview, and will probably include a sharp answer to the accusations against him.
He will probably also want to address the allegations leveled against him in the series created by Harry and his wife, Duchess Meghan Markle, on Netflix, in which the royal family was accused of harassment bordering on racism.
According to the report, the interview will take place on the British state network, the BBC.
The talks are currently focused on trying to convince Charles, who became king with the death of his mother Elizabeth in September, to add the issue of the relationship with Harry as part of a larger conversation about his various plans for the new era.
The interview was intended to be broadcast in preparation for the highlight events so far during his tenure on the throne: the coronation ceremony that will take place in May.
The report stated that among his circle of associates they are worried that the Harry issue will cloud the festivities of the interview and therefore also the festivities themselves that will take place during the long weekend at the beginning of May when the ceremony will take place.
Although the coronation ceremony will not change his status, it will be the most significant stage on which he will be able to convey messages to the British people, not only as a king who was crowned due to the necessity of the circumstances of his mother's death, but as a king who went through the most important event that every sovereign must go through, and therefore many see the status as the first time 'Arles will be able to shape his legacy independently after the end of his mother's long era, which lasted about 70 years.
"There are concrete plans when it comes to the coverage of the coronation events on the BBC, including a profile article on the sovereign," said a source familiar with the plans.
"Normally subjects are not ruled out in advance for an interview, so the matter is complex."
Another possibility is that the royal house will choose to produce a video independently, to avoid the diversion of embarrassing issues.
However, it is not at all clear how such a move can even be carried out, since officially it is impossible to pose questions to the king, and it is only allowed to address him if he addresses you.
It is likely that the format of the interview will actually be a kind of conversation, but even in such a situation, it is an unprecedented step in which a king publicly opposes one of his heirs in the order of succession to the crown (although, in practical terms, Harry probably has no chance of becoming king).
The mines that the interview contains for Charles are not simple, among other things in light of the king's verbal emissions in the past, and also in view of embarrassments caused to the royal house in other interviews.
For example, the things that Prince Andrew said in an interview that dealt with allegations of sexual assault against him, caused serious damage to the royal house and the prince himself.
