King Charles: Harryyyy! You must never revealll the truth! Understood?
So why is he allowed to marry a woman he loves when you are not allowing this same right to yourself?
Marriage is a high-society contract, and I must ensure that any union I facilitate strengthens our kingdom. My son's happiness is important, but so is the future of our nation.
Are you making him choose between his marriage and his kingdom?
I will never force my son to make such a difficult choice. His duty to the kingdom is just as important as his personal desires, and I believe that he can find a way to balance both.
What kind of man would marry his best friend instead of the woman he loves?
Love is not always straightforward, and sometimes we must make sacrifices for the greater good. My son is a brave and noble young man, and I have no doubt that he will do what is necessary to fulfill his destiny.
Is that what you did too when you married your wife?
My late wife was a wonderful woman, and I loved her with all my heart. Yes, our marriage was a sacrifice in the beginning, but it quickly turned into a beautiful union.
A tragic accident, my dear. We were on a royal visit when a car malfunctioned and crashed into our path. My wife did not survive the impact, and I was left to raise our son alone.
My parents were supportive and proud of my choices, but they too are gone now. They passed away shortly after my wife, leaving me to raise my son by myself.
You really are a lonely man, aren't you?
Loneliness is a natural part of life, especially for someone in my position. But I refuse to let it define me. I am still the King, and I will do whatever it takes to protect my family and my kingdom.
So who are these women you have been seen with?
Those women are companions, nothing more. They provide me with the comfort and companionship that I need in my time of grief. But I am not fooling myself; they know their place, and I will never forget my duties as a husband and a father.
What about your son's birthday? Why is there no party?
A birthday celebration seems frivolous when our kingdom is facing so many challenges. My son understands the importance of prioritizing our responsibilities. We will celebrate in due time, but right now, we must stay focused on what truly matters.
But he has to work on his birthday too? Can't he get today off?
Work is important regardless of the day of the week. My son is part of the royal family, and with great privilege comes great responsibility. He must learn the weight of his duties, even on his birthday.
Life is often unfair, my dear. But my son is strong and capable, and he understands the sacrifices that must be made. He is being prepared to be a great king, and one day he will make us all proud.
Where did he learn to be a machine?
My son has been trained rigorously in the arts of leadership and warfare. He is a skilled rider, an expert marksman, and a formidable debater. He has been prepared to handle any situation, and he will make the right choices to protect our kingdom.
Are you suggesting war with another country?
War should always be a last resort, but my son is ready to defend our kingdom if the need arises. He is strong, brave, and determined, and he has the training and experience necessary to lead our troops to victory.
That sounds like your father
My dear, you have a sharp mind. Yes, my son does resemble my father in many ways. He has inherited my strength, my determination, and my commitment to our kingdom. Together, we will ensure the prosperity and safety of our people.
Speaking of your father, why hasn't he visited? Doesn't he want to meet his grandson?
My father is...distant, I suppose. He never got along well with my mother, and our relationship was strained as well. He has his own life now, and though he may not show it openly, I know that he cares for our family.
What happened with your mother?
My mother and I never got along. She was cold, calculating, and seemed to prioritize her own ambitions over the well-being of our family. Our relationship was fraught with tension, and I learned early on not to trust those who wear a mask of false affections.
